Benvenuto & Welcome to Sardinia!

Unlike Italy, which swarms with tourists all year round, Sardinia is often overlooked by the average tourist. Some of the most unique archaeological sites, like the Nuraghe, lie nestled in nooks across the towns of the region. Festivals in Sardinia bring people spilling out onto the streets and reflect the vibrant culture of the locals while smaller village festivals offer a chance for visitors to get a peek into the lives of the Sardinian islander. For the romantic holidaymaker, the cosy grottos tucked away around the island are truly precious. Take a look at our map of Sardinia for the location of the Sardinia hotels available to be booked through our booking portal.

Some have even called Sardinia the 'Caribbean of Europe', but Sardinia continues to retain its charm despite all the accolades that have come its way. The second largest Mediterranean island, this region of Italy has a population of about 1.65 million. Most towns are located along the coast and the interiors are largely uninhabited. An unusual statistic on Sardinia is that it has as many as four million sheep on its lands! Lamb is therefore a regular feature on menus of the restaurants in Sardinia and, along with the local Pecorino cheese,is a major item of export.

Besides Italian, locals also speak a local language - Sardinian. The language interestingly traces its origins to Near Eastern languages, Etruscan and Phoenician. Officially, however, Italian is the main language in Sardinia. Put your Sardinian language skills to the test staying in an authentic Sardinia hotel.

The capital, Cagliari, has a number of historic places to see in Sardinia besides the numerous scenic locations to catch a glimpse of the turquoise Mediterranean. In fact, in some of the older parts of the city on the hill top, you can combine culture and history with gazing out at Angels Gulf. The stark white towers of the castle from the 13th century and the ancient city walls are just two of the highlights of a visit here. There is even an aqueduct and temple ruins, and a Roman amphitheatre that beckon history buffs. To understand the history of the island a little better, spend some time at the Sardinian Archaeological Museum in the old part of town. And when you're done, don't miss one of the longest beaches in the country - the 13 km long Poetto. This beach has been earmarked for conservation and is being restored due to years of erosion.

The wide open spaces are ideal for a number of different outdoor activities in Sardinia like biking, trekking, hiking, climbing or just plain old walking. The pleasing Sardinia weather that lasts all year round, the unusual festivals, the great food, superlative wines and inviting locations are hard to pass up. Take the time to venture out beyond the towns and cities where you arrive to explore the lands around and you won't be disappointed. As exciting as the bigger towns may be, they are just a curtain raiser for what lies beyond.

Several tourists simply make a stopover at Costa Smeralda and claim to have seen Sardinia. However, this is far from representative of what is on offer. Gorgeous though the north-west coast may be, there are far too many beaches and coastal areas in other parts of Sardinia that are just as spectacular and cannot be ignored. like the spectacular Gulf of Orosei with its protected beaches. The pick of the lot are the coastal towns of Villasimius, Torre delle Stelle, Costa Rei and Chia. Even the interior of the island, where the mountains are, can be quite a delight to visit and there are a number of Sardinia hotel options available to make your stay comfortable. Nuoro makes a good base to explore this part of Sardinia where the lofty peaks of the Gennargentu mountain range stand tall.

While in the region, you may spot some unusual ancient constructions, the most important of which are arguably the stone relics from the Nuragic civilisation. The 7000 Nuragic exemplar counted all over the island are quite easy to reach and you will see many even while driving on nomal roads, but a stop to visit them is absolutely a must.Check out the great range of Sardinia tours on offer across the region.
