Sardinia Villas, Hotels and Apartments

The Island of Sardinia

Sardinia - the scenery is breathtaking with a dazzling variety of - colours of the seas which range from deep blue through to turquoise.

This land of high mountains, green plains and a superb coast line with crystal clear seas also has a mysterious past. When a people known as the Nuraghi who like the Tuscans left their mark on the island and seemingly disappeared except for the igloo shaped stone houses of which over 7000 are left on the island dating back to the pre bronze age.

Twice the size of Corsica and a lot more friendlier and unlike its French neighbour you will find quality restaurants abound at reasonable prices. Local wines especially whites are excellent. Scenery, sea, beaches, mountains and ideal temperatures from April to November - what more can one ask for?

In popular resorts such as Porto Rotondo on the islands famous Costa Smeralda there are many delightful (and can be expensive) restaurants, cafes and bars. However, Sardinia is very much orientated to the Italian market which is a short season of July and especially in August. Outside these two high season months eating places cannot be sustained on overseas visitors only. Therefore, DO NOT expect restaurants to be open every day in every resort - some only open for evening meals and some only open at weekends.

Do be aware that not every person working in tourism is speaking English - you would be wise to take a dictionary for some understanding of restaurant menus. Don't expect snappy service - in Italy it is more "Slow Food is better than FAST FOOD!!". Therefore, relax and take on the same pace and you will soon find Sardinia is the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean.....

Getting There:
By Air: We act as agents for Holiday Options (ATOL) who in summer operate flights from Stansted to Olbia and Alghero every Saturday from mid April to end October. Ryanair operate twice daily from Stansted.

Car Hire: Do rent a car the island has only 1.5 million inhabitants and public transport can be sparse. To get the best out of your trip, explore the often deserted interior of the island as well as the coastal areas. You will be rewarded with some fantastic scenery.You will soon run out of film in your camera - that's a promise.

Our car rentals are fully covered with CDW theft cover and unlimited mileage. What makes us different from the rest is that there is no excess to pay if you or others damage the vehicle. Most car rental companies hold you responsible for the first £350 and upwards of accidental damage. This can make that cheap car rental deal on the internet very expensive, if you even damage a door mirror! We even include two drivers as part of the deal - which is extra with every other rental company.

Book car rental at the same time as booking your self catering rentals and you even get £20 per week discount - making
our deals even more attractive.

Ferries: it is possible to self drive and take one of the ferry routes from Genoa (crossing time 13 hours) or Livorno (9 hours) to Olbia. Also ferries from Marseilles
