Hotel & Sports Halls
Hotel Califfo
We will stay at Hotel Califfo, near Cagliari, a vintage 4* Hotel quite well connected to the city centre.
As usual you will be accommodated in double or triple rooms for the nights of Friday and Saturday. Of course breakfast is included.
Extra nights
If you wish to book extra nights (remember the nights of 6 and 7 September are already booked, so you don't have to do anything for those nights) you can contact directly the Hotel at this adress: info@hotelcaliffo.com. Please write in the Subject line "EVS 2024 extra nights booking".
Cost per night for a double room, breakfast included, is € 74.
How to reach Hotel from Airport (and viceversa)
The best way to reach Hotel Califfo from Cagliari-Elmas airport is to take the train to Cagliari and then take the bus "PF".
On exiting arrivals at the airport, follow the directions to the Elmas Aeroporto railway station on your left.
Train tickets cost € 1.30 each: you can buy them at the ticket machines in the arrivals hall or directly at the station. Remember to validate your ticket at the station before boarding. Trains depart for Cagliari every 20 minutes from 6.37 am to 11.00 pm. The journey takes 5 minutes.
On reaching Cagliari station, exit the building and cross the road to Piazza Matteotti on the opposite side, where you will find the terminus of the PF bus. Tickets cost € 1.30 and you can buy them from the ticket machine at the terminus or onboard through the Busfinder app: downloading this will also enable you to look up the bus timetables and routes. Remember to validate your ticket after boarding.
The bus ride to the hotel takes about 40 minutes: your stop is "L. da Vinci (Hotel Califfo)".
