Albergo Diffuso Mannois: A Scattered Hotel in Orosei
Instead of a single hotel building, the rooms of the Mannois are spread across several historic stone houses in the old town of Orosei – an "albergo diffuso," as this concept is called in Italy.
The "Albergo Diffuso" concept
In an albergo diffuso, existing historic buildings in a town are converted into hotel rooms instead of building something new. This preserves the original fabric of the place, while guests stay spread across several buildings in the town centre.
Location
Orosei sits at the northern edge of the Golfo di Orosei, with good access to the region's beaches and a worthwhile, well-preserved old town with several churches.
Good to know: Orosei makes a good base for exploring several beaches of the Golfo di Orosei without staying right in the middle of a tourist centre like Cala Gonone.
An albergo diffuso lets guests live right within the town's historic core, instead of in a separate hotel complex.
Who it suits
Suits anyone wanting to explore the Golfo di Orosei while preferring to stay in a historic town centre rather than a modern resort.
