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 7 hotels within one 25 hectare garden paradise, on a superb pale sand beach. The second hotel we offer is the 4 star Le Palme.

Families will find this low rise hotel ideal. It is set in the resort’s mature pine trees,close to the shops, pools, beach and restaurants.

ACCOMMODATION

Family Bungalows have a bedroom, bathroom and a living room with a double sofa bed, very suitable for children under 12. The Family Bungalow Plus have 2 bedrooms that connect, each with its own bathroom. The second bedroom is a little smaller. For larger families or groups of friends, 2 Superior Bungalows on the ground floor can be combined with a first floor Palme Roof room, with 3 bathrooms in total.

The Bellavista is exclusive to Le Palme guests and offers breakfast and dinner – delicious Italian flavours close to the beach.

We really feel this is excellent family accommodation with space for children to let off steam.

DINING

Forte Village actually consists of no less than 8 hotels within one 25 hectare garden paradise, on a superb pale sand beach. 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 Forte Gourmet for a superb à la carte Mediterranean menu.
