Experience Nature in Alghero: Unique Excursions and Outdoor Adventures
Hiking and Trekking in the Porto Conte Park
Starting directly from the village-campsite, you can explore one of the most fascinating natural areas in Sardinia. Torre del Porticciolo is in fact located within the Porto Conte Natural Park, a protected area of over 5,000 hectares that hosts extraordinary biodiversity. With its varied landscapes — from sheer sea cliffs to the scents and colors of the Mediterranean scrub, to pine and holm oak forests — the Park is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Numerous nature trails are perfect for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, with routes suitable for both families and experienced hikers.
Unmissable stops in the Park include:
- Le Prigionette, the former penal colony now transformed into a visitor center immersed in nature.
- Punta Giglio and Capo Caccia, spectacular viewpoints overlooking the white cliffs.
- The Neptune Caves, one of the most fascinating karst cave systems in the Mediterranean.
We know the Park like the back of our hands and take care of it every day, with passion and respect. You can explore it by choosing between guided activities or free itineraries through one of the most beautiful natural areas in all of Sardinia.

Discover Alghero and Its Surroundings: Unforgettable Excursions
In addition to the Porto Conte Natural Park, staying at the Torre del Porticciolo Holiday Village and Campsite allows you to easily explore other wonders of Sardinia’s northwestern coast.
Among the most popular excursions are visits to the fortified city of Alghero, known for its Catalan old town and coral workshops, and boat tours to the Neptune’s Caves, which can also be reached by sea.
Don’t miss the excursion to the picturesque Asinara Island, with its unspoiled beaches, wild landscapes, iconic white donkeys, and numerous former prison buildings scattered throughout the area. These now-abandoned structures once made the island famous for its “notorious” inmates just a few decades ago.
Other easily accessible destinations include:
- Bosa, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, with its colorful houses overlooking the Temo River.
- Stintino and La Pelosa, featuring Caribbean-like waters perfect for a relaxing day.
