To really get the most out of Forte Village in stunning Sardinia, we recommend staying in the bungalow-style rooms amid the verdant green grounds.

They are located in peaceful pine groves right next to the sea. Also there is a dedicated reception and the use of two pools (one is heated with a sea view right in front).
