An elegant yet discreet wonderful hotel in Palau, Sardinia |

In Palau, Sardinia, in the extraordinary scenery of Maddalena Archipelago, La Vecchia Fonte Hotel (4 stars sup.) owes its name to the old fountain located in the town centre square. The hotel, which is elegant yet discreet, and really painstaking, with the architectonic lines of ancient taste, is an exclusive structure and the perfect place for a pleasant stay even thanks to the impeccable service, the professionalism and the courtesy of the staff. The natural and typical Mediterranean materials, which it has been built with, create a unique harmonious continuity with the surrounding atmosphere.
The cork guarantees an isolation of high level to the entire structure thanks to the elevated degree of acoustic absorption, while the ancient wood of chestnut tree confers to a warm and welcoming aspect.
Entering in the hotel you can pick immediately the particular atmosphere: the hall recalls the typical seafaring setting with the hatch , as light source, and the arches in finely shaped wood that remember the hold of the vintage sailing ship.
