San Francesco Heritage Hotel

Set within a beautifully restored 14th-century cloister in the historic centre of Alghero, the San Francesco Heritage Hotel presents a peaceful, refined façade that immediately signals character and calm. Inside you’ll find elegant columns, warm stonework and a relaxed communal lounge that invites you to unwind, perfect for the downtime you need around training or race preparation.

Every morning you’ll enjoy a generous continental-style breakfast served in the lovely cloister courtyard — ideal for fueling up before a swim, bike ride or run. With fresh coffee, pastries, fruit and savoury options, you’ll get the boost you need without leaving the building, and the central location makes it easy to get back to your room or head out for a warm-up session.

The serene setting is a welcome counterpoint to intense training days.

The hotel’s central location means you’re simply minutes from the seafront promenade — perfect for open-water warm-ups, recovery walks by the harbour walls, or an easy swim at one of the nearby beaches. Being in the Old Town puts you right where you can access the coastline and use your surroundings for both active and recovery work.

Each room is air-conditioned, has free WiFi, private bathroom with shower, a desk and quiet décor with warm wood-tones and a view of the cloister courtyard in many cases. The simple yet focused room setup means you’ll get good rest without unnecessary distractions — ideal when you’re in competition-mode.

You’ll find complimentary WiFi throughout, daily housekeeping, a bar and lounge area for relaxation and a breakfast service in the courtyard. The hotel is located in the ZTL (limited traffic zone) in Alghero’s historic centre, so bringing a car requires awareness of access restrictions. The central location means you’re a short walk from buses, taxis and bikes.
