Bosa lies in a luxurious valley where the Temo river flows peacefully, reflecting the many colors of the little village in the province of Oristano. Its lively city center has a multitude of open spaces, where you can find children frolicking between shiny bars and traditional restaurants.

Alghero

Let's begin with a kiss when the sun sets behind one of the most beautiful landscapes of the coastline. Alguer - as it was called during the Catalan presence - accounts for 44.000 inhabitants and stands in the province of Sassari. Couples who choose Alghero, will love to get lost in the picturesque architecture of its old town overlooking the sea, between narrow streets and ancient traditions. Even in winter, Alghero is sunny and seductive like a traditional song from Catalogna, to listen late in the evening, while looking at each other's eyes, leaving your souls connecting.
