About Sardinia
With a coastline that borders turquoise water teeming with fish and white-sand beaches, valleys with pastures of wheat and groves of olives, and mountains peppered with caves and grottoes, Sardinia awaits those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
Sardinia, Italy’s second largest island, is the perfect blend of mystery and glitz. From your villa, located in either the north or south part of the island, you should drive along the northeast corner, the fabled Costa Smeralda, “Emerald Coast,” a yachter’s paradise and a favorite among royalty and movie-stars filled with luxurious shops and beautiful beaches. Influenced by Greeks, Phoenicians, Byzantines, Romans, Genoese and Spaniards, Sardinia is perfect for history-lovers who will enjoy touring the impressive medieval old city and visiting museums and the unique prehistoric ruins including the nuraghe, ancient cone-shaped stone towers. Epicureans will love indulging in the fresh fish and meat, handmade pasta, and homegrown cheese native to this island. Sardinia, with its posh northern coast filled with unspoiled beaches, its lively capital, Cagliari, in the south, and its picturesque towns filled with history, truly has something for everyone.
