If the outside of the structure is any indicator of the inside, I'm sure it's lovely. I cannot confirm this, however, because Anna never showed up to let us in. I told her via e-mail several weeks prior that we would be there between 4pm and 6pm (we were driving from Canniogne di Arzachena and were unsure of the exact time) and that we didn't have international calling on our cellphones. She replied favourably that she would see us then. She did not tell us we would need to call her when we arrived. We rang the bell and rang the bell for almost an hour and a half. Nothing. ||||We went around the corner to the gas station to ask for use of a phone and they told us they didn't have a phone and to walk around the port and ask other people (while one was standing right there, talking on his cellphone). Really? Not that this is the B&B's fault, but I will tell you there is little-to-no reason to visit Porto Torres unless you are en route somewhere better. It's a commercial and industrial port town, no real restaurants, hotels, or nightlife, and dog feces on the sidewalks-- literally. ||||We drove to Sassari instead and, for 60 Euro, had a room and breakfast. ||||I am not saying "Don't stay here." I am saying, if you are going to, you had better have a way to call Anna and let her know you're there. A poor way to run a business in my opinion, but good...

Read moreAbbiamo cenato in due in questo ristorante. Abbiamo preso una casadina di terra che abbiamo diviso (buona), una zuppetta di frutti di mare dove dovevano esserci cozze, vongole, calamari e gamberi ma è stata una delusione in quanto le vongole erano 4, i calamari erano 2 miseri anelli e i gamberi erano 2 talmente piccoli che non si riusciva nemmeno a sgusciarli, in pratica c’erano solo cozze e il sughetto era pressoché invisibile, pochissimo. Abbiamo preso poi una bistecca di bue, non ci è stato chiesto il livello di cottura che volevamo, buona ma sapeva molto di brace e senza nemmeno due patate o due foglie di insalata come accompagnamento, quindi abbiamo preso insalata a parte. Mi è stato poi proposto un piatto da assaggiare di anemoni di mare fritte, 6 polpettine di cui non mi è stato detto il prezzo e che mai avrei preso avendolo conosciuto prima. Mezzo litro di bianco portato a tavola senza possibilità di refrigerarlo, caldo imbevibile dopo 10 minuti. Il pane lo abbiamo chiesto 3 volte prima di riceverlo, inoltre sono arrivati a tavola piatti non nostri. Servizio scadente nonostante il ristorante non fosse nemmeno pieno. Per i 91€ pagati ci siamo alzati insoddisfatti, per 20€ in meno a poca distanza si mangia molto di più e molto meglio in rapporto...
