For many years Forte Village has been known as one of the prime holiday addresses in Italy.

On the southern coast of Sardinia, the city of Cagliari is some 30 minutes drive away to the east.

Forte Village actually consists of no less than 8 hotels within one 25 hectare garden paradise, on a superb pale sand beach. One of these being the 5 star Castello Hotel.

This is an elegant and sophisticated hotel surrounded by mature trees and gardens. The beach and the water sports centre are a 2 minute stroll away. The breakfast buffet offers an enormous choice of tastes to help you start the day, and the Cavalieri restaurant is reserved exclusively for the hotel guests’ dinner service. We recommend the à la carte Is Arenas overlooking the beach too.

The menu of room types is extensive! Each one is air-conditioned with a satellite TV, a mini-bar and a safe. Superior rooms overlook the trees, the gardens or pool towards the sea. Executive, Deluxe and Prestige rooms can all accommodate a 3rd bed or a sofa bed. On the top floor you will find spacious Executive Deluxe Mare rooms and Junior Suites which have a terrace and usually a seaview. A selection of 8 luxurious Suites complete the choices – we have full details of each type to help you choose. 

The key to this superb holiday venue is choices. There are no less than 21 different restaurants to tempt, from the Pasta House to the Torre Grill a traditional steak house, Japanese, Sardinian, seafood, up to the Etoile for a superb à la carte Mediterranean menu. Reservations are required and some restaurants charge a supplement to HB guests. New this summer a Gordon Ramsay restaurant - gourmet corner!

Sporting activities abound! Of course there are swimming pools, more than 10 of them. Floodlit tennis courts? Yes, 10 altogether, with professional instructors on hand. Golf at the Is Molas Club is about 10 minutes away by car. Water sports include boat rental of catamarans to kayaks, also windsurfing boards and pedaloes. You can water ski, sail and dive with qualified instructors.

Leisure Land offers even more exciting activities such as a half kilometre go-kart track with electronic timing, a 7 lane bowling alley, trampolines and no less than 3 practice football pitches.

If relaxation is your goal, the beach, the gardens and the Sardinian countryside are there to ensure you can do nothing and do it well.

The Thermae Spa has a very extensive range of treatments including Thalassotherapy, Ayurvedic massages and so much more. There are also 6 pools, saunas, Turkish bath and a very large gymnasium for which guests pay a daily entrance charge.

Shopping for designer labels, crafts, jewellery, books and perfumes is easy in the Piazza Maria Luigia.

Please note that the hotels at Forte Village will only accept arrivals and departures on a Saturday or Sunday when holidaying between 26 July - 4 September 2010.

We include a private taxi transfer from Cagliari – approx. 30 minutes
