“Honore De Balzac wins for its location in Alghero's historic center; stepping outside places you directly amid the ancient architecture. I was particularly struck by the blend of traditional palazzo features with modern comforts in the rooms, creating an inviting atmosphere. While some have noted minor issues, like the A/C's strength, the overall experience points to a stay of considerable value, especially for couples seeking a central, characterful base.”
