Neoclassical palazzo in the heart of Cagliari, between Sardinian history and the MGallery collection.
Palazzo Tirso MGallery Cagliari
From
325.8 €
“Two pools in the historic centre, including one on the rooftop with views over the Golfo degli Angeli.”
The Palazzo Tirso MGallery occupies a neoclassical building on Piazza Deffenu, a stone's throw from the port and the Castello district. We appreciate the two pools, rare in the Sardinian city centre, and the spa that compensates for the lack of an immediate beach. The rooms blend period mouldings and contemporary furniture, some with views over the ochre roofs of the old town. The restaurant offers an honest Mediterranean menu, without starry pretensions. The service remains attentive without being intrusive, typical of the MGallery collection. From 325,80 € per night, it is a good base from which to explore the Sardinian capital without sacrificing comfort ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Palazzo Tirso to couples in their thirties and forties seeking a comfortable base from which to explore southern Sardinia, between the beaches of Villasimius and the ruins of Nora. Business travellers appreciate the proximity to the port and institutions, with private parking and reliable Wi-Fi. Families find what they need thanks to adapted facilities and flexible service, yet the atmosphere remains predominantly adult.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Palazzo Tirso is set in a neoclassical building in the historic centre of Cagliari, with a light-stone façade and generous ceiling heights. The interiors blend original mouldings with contemporary MGallery design, pale marble underfoot, furniture with clean lines. The rooftop, fitted with a pool and loungers, offers clear views over the city roofs and the gulf. The scale remains human, far from large beach resorts, with the atmosphere of an urban boutique hotel.
