the saint in winchester Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 Seen a reasonably priced flight to Sardinia in August. Anyone been before and can appraise? I am googling about it, but customer feedback is king! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 Went there in 1990 for the world cup. I'd wait for some more recent advice! Actually just remembered I crewed out of there in 2007, but I think the same still applies..:-) Some beautiful beaches, food and wine good (try the lamb and Cannonau and Monica di sardegna decent reds if you don't buy the cheapest) but August will be hot and busy.

Kingsland Red Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 Had a great holiday in the north of the island last September. Nice warm climate ( its as far south as Rome on the mainland). Sandy beaches reached via tracks off the roads and some lovely towns with good restaurants . The interior is worth exploring as well . We flew into Olbia airport on the NE coast, a bit like Bournemouth airport, and stayed at Isola Rossa ( NW coast) for one week and San Pantaleo (NE) for a second week, near the Costa Smeralda yachting towns. It's Italy without the frenetic chaos of the mainland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 21 April, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 April, 2017 Thank you, Sue and especially Kingsland Red. We would also be flying into Olbia so your comments are invaluable, so I will research those two areas you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 My colleague went recently and said it was great. If you want nice scenery, weather, food, peace etc. then it's ace apparently. If you want Disney Land or all-night raving then probably not for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 I went there some years ago on a windsurfing trip and I can endorse what Kingsland Red has said. Beaches and watersports venues are beautiful...would like to have explored more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 I'm going there in June for two weeks. I shall report back. Everyone I've spoken to said it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 21 April, 2017 Share Posted 21 April, 2017 I've been a number of times with and without kids. It's utterly, utterly marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfield Saint Posted 22 April, 2017 Share Posted 22 April, 2017 Went last June - flew into Olbia and stayed on Costa Smeralda in Baja Sardinia. Absolutely loved it!! Quite busy in June so can imagine it gets very busy in the Italian peak holiday periods. Don't bother with the boat trip around the archipelago though as a bit of mass transit day with 10 mins on each beach. 100% going back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 22 April, 2017 Share Posted 22 April, 2017 Beautiful place. The north-east - the Costa Smerelda (Emerald Coast) is fantastic but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
