Heavenly hilltop hideaway
Perched high on a hillside and surrounded by scented trees and shrubs, this secluded and serene hotel enjoys unspoilt views over the historic town of Castelsardo and the Gulf of Asinara beyond.
Begin your day with Bajaloglia’s buffet breakfast – brimming with locally sourced produce – before heading to the gorgeous pool or sea-view jacuzzi. There’s also a fine sandy beach nearby where you can bake under the Sardinian sun.
The rooms are full of character and offer plenty of little luxuries, including spacious balconies and terraces where you can enjoy a glass of Sardinian wine while soaking up those sea views.
Prefer to soak up the culture instead? Bajaloglia is a short drive away from some of Castelsardo’s famed sights, including the 16th-century cathedral and Museo dell’Intreccio Mediterraneo – a must-visit for history buffs. The town is well worth exploring, too, with its charming cobbled alleyways full of local artisans, or you can head to the bustling port to watch the world go by.
Come sunset, secure a seat at the bar for expertly made aperitifs and unspoilt views across the Sea of Sardinia, before heading to the à la carte restaurant for fresh, home-style cooking. At this hilltop hideaway, ‘la dolce vita’ is the order of the day.

Find out more about Castelsardo
Charming Castelsardo reclines on Sardinia's northwest coast and is strong a contender for the title of loveliest town in Italy. Choose a holiday to Castelsardo and you'll be rewarded with a mysterious medieval fortress, a splendid seaside and a culture of traditional handicrafts and sumptuous cuisine.
Perched on a promontory in the centre of the Asinara Gulf, this picturesque town is crowned by a medieval castle that was once the home of the aristocratic Genoese Doria family. The Old Town surrounds the castle and it's here that you'll find many of Castelsardo's excellent restaurants on atmospheric cobbled streets. The town has its own pretty little beach surrounded by newer hotels and bars but there's lots of other great seaside options to be found just outside of town. On the way, stop for a photo of the Elephant Rock, a stone outcrop that resembles an elephant raising its trunk.
