Development Strategy
The property of Palazzo Doglio was purchased by the ownership of Forte Village Resort, believing strongly in the appeal of Cagliari the city as a touristic destination. The development of the hotel of Palazzo Doglio is actually part of a larger urban renewal project done in partnership with the local government. This project included fixing old roads in the neighborhood and developing a new square and pedestrian walkway right at the entrance of Palazzo Doglio providing essentially a new life to this central but previously forgotten neighborhood
