01 · In a sentence

Birkin Porto 1870 in Cagliari, open AprilAugust.

Birkin Porto 1870 rises along Cagliari's historic waterfront, its restored 19th-century architecture framing panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the city's limestone hills.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the venue with natural light, while the adjacent Porto district offers cobblestone streets and harbor-side atmosphere for ceremony and cocktail settings.

This four-star hotel on Via Roma positions guests steps from the old town's cultural landmarks and dining scene.

Compact & bijou - rooms rather dated but containing all basic facilities. Beautiful view from the Breakfast bar overlooking the promenade and marina, whilst located at the bottom of the old town. Staff excellent and very enjoyable breakfasts.
