Miramare Cagliari Hotel Museo

Chandeliers hang from the ceilings and rich reds and purples colour the walls at this port-side boutique hotel. With around a dozen rooms – some overlooking Cagliari’s harbour – this place feels intimate but is still in the thick of the action. A pretty internal garden, filled with Sardinian flora, is a tranquil spot for an afternoon coffee but the real USP is the art: everything from the paintings to the furniture is for sale.
