The best area to stay in Mara is Alghero, a historic port city on the northwest coast of Sardinia, renowned for its Catalan Gothic architecture and beautiful coastline.
Alghero's old town, known as "Fertilia," is the main draw. It's a pedestrian-friendly area enclosed by ancient sea walls, with narrow cobbled streets, historic churches like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria, and a bustling harbour. The Lungomare Barcellona promenade offers lovely views of the sea and the Capo Caccia cliffs.
Couples will find Alghero particularly appealing. The old town offers romantic strolls, excellent seafood restaurants, and boutique shops. The proximity to stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Maria Pia and Le Bombarde, easily accessible by a short drive or bus, makes it ideal for relaxing by the sea during the day and enjoying the city's charm in the evenings.
For families, staying slightly outside the immediate old town, perhaps along the Lido area, offers a good balance. Here, you'll find hotels with larger rooms, often with pools, and easier access to the wider, sandy beaches that are great for children.
