Property Description

Built in the nineteenfifties according to plans by architect Simon Mossa who also designed the Cabirol stairway leading to the beautiful caves known as Grotte del Nettuno the El Faro Hotel was revamped in 2003 regaining the splendour that made it famous in the fifties when artists such as Antony Quinn and Liz Taylor patronized it The hotel represents the peace and calm of an ocean liner with its stern resting on the rocks enriched with arches and balconies in Aragonese Catalan style If you venture beyond the arches in the front garden youll be struck by the spectacular view of Capo Caccia as well as the original size of this place unnoticed by mass tourism and surrounded by a nature reserve on all sides plus the brandnew Capo Caccia marine reserve Rest in one of its 88 rooms in typical Sardinian style listen and plunge into the crystalclear sea breaking on the rocks to the cry of a lone seagull Hotel El Faro has recently refurbished its congressrooms creating one hall with natural lighting overlooking the sea for up to 180 people and 4 more rooms with natural lighting and seating for 2080 Thanks to its unequalled position facing southwest the hotel enjoys the benefits of a microclimate which gives the Porto Conte peninsula sunshine and cool air while the surrounding area has sultry weather and hazy skies Recent visitors to the hotel include artists such as Paolo Conte Pino Daniele Francesco De Gregori James Brown and Beppe Grillo
