A magic word for discovering Sardinia Arba at Ashar. It sounds like a magic spell – and perhaps it is. It’s the old name for Arbatax, in Sardinia, set along the eastern coast which is an island intact within the Island. It’s an Arab word and means the fourteenth tower, the fourteenth of those towers which stood sentinel along the coast to check Saracen invasions. It’s the magic word which will bring you to an island of coddling, relaxation and old-style hospitality. It’s the name of our hotel, elegant and secluded, just like a large villa. Arbatasar Hotel welcomes you with a harmonious blend of warm, muted colours which invite repose after all that sun, sea and nature. You can relax here, there’s a pool for swimming or sunbathing, and with grateful care and attention we have preserved the shade of gnarled trees which have witnessed the passage of time and customs. And all this is planned to make you feel at home after your exploration of the Island’s splendid, unspoilt nature of the coast and mountains. From here, venture out to stroll through the narrow streets, among the small shops and down to the harbour, which has a magic all of its own because it is enfolded by a cascade of red porphyry rocks which plunge down into the emerald sea. Arbatax – your starting point to live the Sardinia experience. Arbatasar – the place to stop and savour true Sardinian hospitality. The Arbatasar Hotel is a four-star hotel in the centre of Arbatax, near the tourist harbour. It is open year-round and has 45 double rooms, all with en-suite bathroom and air conditioning, direct telephone, internet connection, hi-fi, fridge bar, safe and SAT-TV. The Hotel also has a congress hall and meeting rooms, restaurant, bar, garden with swimming pool and a shaded, controlled parking lot. Our staff provides information on places of interest to visit and routes, or to help you organise excursions or sports activities and, of course, to give you any other type of assistance you might need. The Arbatasar restaurant offers international cuisine and dishes which our talented chef creates with the precious aid of the extra-fresh products of our Island and sea. |
