The smile of summer
About
Meet The smile of summer, a local business in Sardinia, set right on Spiaggia di Maria Pia, 07041 Alghero SS, Italy. First-time visitors should expect a café that serves beachgoers and passers-by in the Alghero area rather than a formal dining room. The setting places it directly beside the shoreline of Maria Pia, with the town of Alghero close at hand.
The smile of summer opens every day from 09:00 to 19:00, giving a full daytime window for coffee, snacks and a break from the sun. Travellers have scored it 4.4 out of 5 across 640 reviews, a strong signal of consistent service. Three photographs accompany the listing, so the beachside address remains the clearest reference. Alghero is one of the nearby places that frame a visit, alongside Cagliari, Olbia, Sassari, Nuoro, Oristano, Costa Smeralda and Porto Cervo.
Reaching the café from the island's main towns is straightforward, since Alghero sits on Sardinia's road network and the surrounding routes link it to the wider region. The venue occupies a spot on Spiaggia di Maria Pia, a location that anchors it in the north-western part of the island rather than on the southern coast.
Sardinia's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, with the busiest stretch running from June to September. Island cooking centres on seafood, handmade pasta, olive oil and local wines, and the café's beachside position suits a light stop between swims. Flights, ferries and hydrofoils connect Italy's islands to the mainland, while Italian serves as the everyday language. The café's position on Spiaggia di Maria Pia makes it a practical stop for travellers moving between Alghero and the island's other towns.
