Relais Bellavista 5

First, the best news: here, you can wake up to the sound of waves, grab your towel, and jump into the turquoise water, then watch the sun sink into the sea while enjoying an aperitivo in the evening. Located in a quiet bay in northwestern Sardinia, this charming B&B ticks one of the boxes when looking for holiday accommodation – it's within walking distance of the sea. And that makes it clear how you'll spend your days here: sunbathing in colorful deck chairs (with sea views, of course!) and spending lots of time on the sandy beach below the accommodation with its small bar. Away from the tourist crowds and nestled in a hilly landscape, the area around Relais Bellavista 5 is also great for hiking. The three guest rooms are individually designed, with glass and steel, white plastered walls, concrete look, old wooden beams, and decorative finds from nature such as dried plants and driftwood. The minimalist design and use of light colors convey calm and relaxation. The natural outdoor decoration is just as beautiful: succulents climbing over natural stone walls, fig cacti, and bougainvillea. The various terraces are also the perfect place to enjoy breakfast. Coffee, seasonal fruit, cereals, fresh bread, and waffles—everything is so lovingly prepared that you start looking forward to it the night before. And with the view of the endless blue sparkling in the sun, everything tastes even better, of course

WHAT WE LIKE MOST:

• Mediterranean lightness is combined with industrial chic. Relais Bellavista 5 has its own distinctive style, and each room has its own character.
• The B&B was built directly on the hillside, so it’s surrounded by natural vegetation and rugged rocks, making you feel very close to nature.
• The interior with its natural materials, discarded balloon bottles, and reused old wooden beams from an old mine creates a harmonious connection to the surroundings and its history.
• The friendly and helpful staff, who are happy to share the best insider tips for Sardinian cuisine and undiscovered dream beaches with guests
• den Garten, der mit vielen mediterranen Pflanzen das beste Setting für entspannte Lesestunden bietet – oder um bei einer Flasche Vino ins Gespräch zu kommen
• Many of the delicious things that thrive in the garden can be found on the breakfast table: fresh herbs, aromatic tomatoes, peppers, or strawberries
• The play of colors in spring when the plants bloom and form a stunning contrast to the rugged rocks and turquoise blue sea
• The feeling of being wonderfully away from it all—and yet having the beautiful things in life right in front of you

GOOD TO KNOW:

• The B&B has three individual double rooms. Each has a separate entrance and its own bathroom with shower. The garden and terraces can be used by all guests.
• Bathrobes and complimentary toiletries are provided.
• On hot days, guests will appreciate the air conditioning.
• Each room has a mini-bar, and snacks and drinks can be stored in your own refrigerator. A coffee machine and complimentary mineral water are also available.
• A varied breakfast is served on the terrace and is included in the room rate.
• Dinner can be arranged upon request and served à la carte. 
• Yoga sessions can be arranged for guests. Needless to say, they take place outdoors, while breathing in the fresh sea air with a view of the waves.
• Active travelers can try their hand at windsurfing, kitesurfing, or stand-up paddleboarding on the surrounding beaches.
• Fancy a little excursion? The limestone promontory of Capo Caccia with its steep cliffs as high as 300 meters in places and the famous Neptune’s Grotto is about 35 kilometers away.
• The two beaches that can be reached on foot: Cala dell’Argentiera is just 200 meters away, while Cala di Punta la Banderetta is 700 meters away.
• The ruins of the historic mining settlement of Argentiera (formerly one of Italy’s most important places for silver and lead mining) can now be visited—a fascinating, long-lost place right on the beach.
• As the accommodation is surrounded by nature, you’ll need a car here.
• The nearest airport is Alghero, about 30 kilometers from Argentiera, and Olbia Airport is about 140 kilometers away.
