Club Hotel Laconia,  Sardinia  Italy

★    ★   ★

 

This property benefits from being located on a quiet predominantly residential street a block away from the main coast road. It is also within a few minutes walk of the long stretch of sandy beach that fronts the resort. Although some of the decor is more reminiscent of a holiday camp, the furnishings and layout are attractive and the pool deck, tightly surrounded by some of the rooms and a high wall, provides a generally quieter ambience. With facilities for children, this is a popular choice for adults and families.

Exterior

3-storey pastel-pink coloured property faces the quiet residential street overlooking a shaded car park and bordered by a traditional low stone wall and verdant gardens of shrubs, trees and flowerbeds. A set down area in front of the arched ground-floor facade leads up to a trestle style portico over a double fronted sliding glass door entrance. Some, mainly balconied, rooms with wooden shutter-style doors are located on the upper floors looking landwards.

A small plunge pool is situated towards the back of this area.
