Guesthouse The Smerald

Autonomy, comfort and relaxation a stone's throw from Alghero's lido

Welcome to our website.

We are Daniele and Roberto. Together with our parents we have been operating for several years in the accommodation and tourism sector to make your vacations in Alghero special. We first renovated our family building at Via Oristano 50 to make it a convenient and comfortable guesthouse, immediately baptized with the initials of our names: R & D.

The facility is just 200 meters from the Lido di Alghero, a beautiful city beach with panoramic views of the prestigious old town to the left and the majesty of the Coral Riviera gulf before our eyes.

All 6 double rooms at R & D Guesthouse are modern and cozy, have a private bathroom and are equipped with every comfort. Try the two special Queen rooms with whirlpool tubs!

We have always tried to respond to our clients' wishes as best we can. Thanks to listening to them, we have enriched our offer with three more facilities taken over in the vicinity of the main guesthouse:

  • The Smerald, at Via Baleari 28 B, just 400 meters from the main building, consisting of two double rooms
  • The Smerald 2, at Via Europa 6A, adjacent to the R & D, with three double rooms, two of which are Superior with whirlpool tubs
  • The Smerald 2.2, at Via Carbonia 38, just 160 meters from R & D, with three double rooms.

All our rooms have private bathrooms, TV, mini fridge, free wifi and air conditioning.

We guarantee daily housekeeping and towel change every three days of stay.

The check-in service is fully automated: thanks to the innovative Vikey system, our clients, after registering, can access the facility at any time with total autonomy and security.

For every need we are at your complete disposal, to make your stay in Alghero truly unforgettable!

Accessibility Information

Together with our selected providers, we are committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to people with disabilities. We devote significant resources to ensure that our website and room booking pages are easier to use and more accessible for individuals with disabilities, based on the strong belief that everyone has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort, and independence.

Along with our partners, we continuously strive to improve the accessibility of our website and the pages for booking rooms and/or purchasing additional products and services related to the stay. We firmly believe it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use, even for those of us with disabilities.

In our ongoing efforts to improve and consistently address accessibility issues, we regularly scan all web pages using accessibility scanners provided by third-party commercial partners to identify and fix any potential accessibility barriers on our site. Despite our efforts to make all our web pages and content fully accessible, some content may not yet have been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be due to not having yet found or implemented the most appropriate technological solution.

  • Image text alternatives: Some images do not have meaningful text alternatives for users.
  • Reading order: Due to the modular structure of some pages, the reading order of elements may not match their visual order.
  • Focus contrast: In some cases, when elements receive focus, there may be insufficient contrast between text color and background.
  • Keyboard operability: Some components cannot be operated using only a keyboard.
  • Animated content: Some pages contain animated content that cannot be paused or hidden.
