What travelers are saying
- summafunmumVancouver, Canada117 contributionsA lovely, long, white sandy beach, just a 45min walk (or 15€ taxi) from Alghero harbour-front where our cruise tender dropped us off. Very popular with families as the water is calm and shallow. It was already busy by 10am and wish we had known to book loungers and an umbrella in advance as there were none available along the entire beach. They’d ALL been reserved. Still, we laid out our towels and made the best of it. Plenty of little places to grab a snack or a drink. It felt very local and untouristy.Written August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris Gus WoltmannQuito, Ecuador1 contributionWe were here last August with my family. The walk down and up the steps was quite challenging for me I have to say! The views are incredible, you can literally see the edge of the island. The grotto itself is quite a small inlet, but I'd say it's a quite underrated place. A bit on the expensive side though.Written January 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- IlyaNJMarlboro, NJ991 contributionsA long strip of sand, with several club sections, several bars, chez-lounges and umbrellas for hire, and sports rentals. Cold water after the recent storms, but tranquil, and likely warm at regular times. Very nice even in the less-than-perfect conditions. Club sections may cost €40 per two chez-lounges and one umbrella, whereas open-beach vendors charge only €15 for the same.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel IBolton, UK1,245 contributionsLovely sandy beach located around 8-10 in from Alghero. Accessed from the main road out of Alghero on the road to Capi Caccia. Due to its location the sea here is renowned for being clear but cooler than other Alghero beaches. Has the reputation of attracting a younger crowd.Written September 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah MWorksop, UK245 contributionsWe came to the wine tasting on a tour operator trip. Lovely drive to it. The premises are in an idyllic location and the property is well kept. We had a very informative tour around the vineyard and the olive grove, followed by the wine tasting. This was really interesting and the wines were paired with cheeses and sausage. All in all, a very pleasant evening, would recommendWritten September 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PVB7411 contributionsWe went towards the end of the hours of operation (at around 6:15pm). It was far less crowded at that time. By 6:30pm, the line was non existent. Other reviews mentioned that you can traverse the steps without paying a fee. That was not possible when we went. You have to buy the tickets to go down the steps. The caves are beautiful (especially the first part you go to). After that area you can go deeper, although after a while I will admit we were anxious to get out. There is a guide who gives a talk to everyone in various languages (Italian, of course, as well as English). The walk takes you to several other chambers, and then you loop back and exit where you came in. The climb back up the stairs at around 7:30pm when the sun was setting was a little bit of a challenge. You need not be in peak physical shape, but it helps (bring water bottles with you). If you go at the end of the day, there is a road that takes you up to a good area to watch the sun set.
If you are looking for some quick photos and have younger children, I would recommend just visiting the first and maybe second chambers and then circle back and exit for the long climb back up.
Wear sneakers or shoes with treaded soles. It gets slippery.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- K_N_CsillaBudapest, Hungary6 contributionsIt is a beautiful little treasure near to Alghero. We were there in April in preseason, so it was very calm and beautiful.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NikJAscot, UK935 contributionsMostly walk around the old streets of the town… We parked about a kilometre, always to avoid parking fees. There were lots of one-way streets.
Historically, really nice with the abundance of restaurants and small alleyways.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tony L6 contributionsWife and I really enjoyed our day at Rosannas. We booked on WhatsApp the previous day. The booking procedure was easy and quick.
Upon arrival we had access to really comfortable sunbeds, front row by the sea. The beach itself is beautiful and the sea perfect for swimming and paddling.
You have access to clean toilets which is a big plus. One thing I would say is if getting some food at the cafe is you are better getting a panini or sandwich. These looked fine, whereas the hot food such as lasagne is microwaved and not pleasant.
However overall for the setting and the comfort Rosannas is good value and makes for a lovely beach day.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a beautiful place and can imagine it’s very busy in the summer. It’s a definite ‘must do’ out of season if you’re a wine lover ! It was a very convenient and enjoyable stop travelling back to our Agristurismo from Alghero to Santa Maria Palma.would definitely return and recommend:-)Written October 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
