On the eastern coast of Sardinia, the Hotel San Contonera is in Arbatax - close to some of the most popular beaches in the region and nearby to the town of Tortoli. This modern hotel was constructed in 2003, using state-of-the-art techniques but with a nostalgic nod to the old, dark-red coloured roadhouses of the island ('sa contonera' is Sard dialect for 'roadhouse').
