Sassari Hotels

Sardinia’s second largest city, Sassari’s monumental piazza belies its workaday nature, most apparent in the characterful narrow winding alleyways of its walled old town. Two unusual museums that repay a visit are the GA Sanna Museum, for its inuraghi/i (Bronze Age stone towers which dot the island), and the Museum of the Sassari Brigade which deals with the First World War. Good beaches nearby are Alghero and La Pelosa.
