The Villa Piras is listed in Lonely Planet and was our second choice – the first choice was fully booked. We stayed at the Villa Piras for three nights at the end of September. From the outside the hotel has nice character and contours, not the big box style so common with hotels. The lobby was pleasantly appointed and the staff was very friendly. This is a family run hotel and it shows in the care of the building. Our room was tastefully decorated, with local colour. It was large and very clean. The bathroom was also very clean and had plenty of towels. The whole room was comfortable. It came with a fridge and free WiFi. Our room was close to the lobby so we had WiFi access in the room. Breakfast was better than we had thought, consisting of bread, cold meats, cheese, yoghurt and cereals. Other reviewers had complained about the coffee, but it is now very good.
Our shower did not drain very well. One comment to the owner and the drain was cleaned. It worked fine after that. So the attention to detail and to our comfort was quite evident with all of the family members. When setting up the WiFi, I was offered a cup of coffee. Small deeds make a fine hotel and this one meets the criteria. The room bedding and towels were changed on a daily basis.
We strongly recommend this hotel to use as a base to visit Alghero (a 15-20 minute walk) and the beautiful surrounding area. Car parking is available for €5 or for free on the street right in front of the hotel.
