Lantana Resort Hotel & Apartments, Sardinia

Lantana reopens for the 2011 season at the beginning of April  It is a family-run resort in the south-west of Sardinia, 500m from the popular historic town of Pula and a short distance from one of Sardinia’s best stretches of coastline.  Comprising 25 rooms and 33 spacious one and two bedroom apartments (each with private terrace or balcony), this four star hotel is the perfect choice for family holidays and couples looking for an affordable break.  This year Lantana will open with six brand new garden apartments and a new bar area.

The resort is built in a Mediterranean style and is appointed with traditional, local furnishings and modern facilities.  There is a large freshwater swimming pool, surrounded by immaculate lawns and a tropical botanical garden, a play area for children and a nine-hole putting green.  The hotel is also within close reach of some of the islands’ most sought after sandy beaches and a wide range of watersports and activities including boat trips, fishing excursions, guided bird-watching tours to see Sardinia’s famous pink flamingos and visits to the ancient Roman ruins are on the hotel’s doorstep.
