This hotel as well as Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo are my top two in Sardinia. They are completely different in style and atmosphere, but both deserve their 5 stars and both imposing top notch.
Villa las Tronas is a small hotel with some long history that dates back to 1880 when the villa "castle" like was built. Italian royalty used to stay there. When the private villa turned in to the hotel - in 1959, among first clients were Samuel Beckett, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.
There is a swimming pool and most of guests prefer to stay in that area. Their beach is very authentic and I love it a lot. They put special stairs so you get in the water safe among the rocks and have a beautiful swim. But if it's stormy - then you're not lucky to get into the water.
There are a couple of sophisticated suits which I recommend. Most of the rooms overlook the sea and if you have a balcony - it's really a view.
The personnel all these years are mostly the same, they are like family. We always have a late evening flight and when they are not fully booked they do everything to comfort you and either keep your room for a late checkout or transfer you to another room if yours is already booked. Very nice and sympathetic people.
Breakfast is very good: buffet offers all typical selection, except for the smoked salmon and Champagne. There are few dishes in the menu that are some extra, like different kinds of omelet etc. Great appetizing super fresh croissants and swell cheese selection.
Lunch and dinner are served in their restaurant too and have to mention - that it's one of the best restaurant in Alghero, may be even the very best for the cuisine, the ambient, the view. And they are very flexible - that's what I appreciate a lot: if you ask to cook something that is not on the menu or to change something in the dish, like instead of seafood pasta make a risotto, they are willing to do that.
Gym is in another small building as well as SPA. Though gym is pretty tiny, it has all basic things you might need. I would change few cardios though and add some new ones. They have SPA services by appointment and there is another indoor swimming pool and sauna there.
They don't do turn down service. They used to, may be even a year ago, but this year they stopped, I don't know why. I like turn down service and I think that in 5 star hotels it's essential: it's always a pleasure when you have fresh towels and cozy bed ready for you to get in.
Parking inside the property and its self-parking.
A splendid place to visit and come back!
