Sardinia Reviews

In that slouched sort of manner often adopted by smokers, or teenagers, my Sardinian friend and I sit on our haunches on the steps of a stone patio, outside a little Sardinian house. My friend’s grandmother lived in it, once. She also died here, many years ago, in the room overlooking the orange trees. This week, however, the little house is ours. ...  Read the complete review

Listen, do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell? (Hope you’re singing along with me!) I don’t usually tell my secrets but this is so special I want to share it. Holidays. We do need then now and again, and we were really looking forward to visiting Sardinia when BANG, the airline ran into problems and folded and we ...  Read the complete review

It was Cyprus that Saki described as having "produced more history than could be consumed locally," but the same could be said of almost any of the Mediterranean's larger islands, and certainly of Sardinia. * One is reminded of Sardinia's history almost on arrival, assuming one has come the cheap way, by Ryanair ...  Read the complete review

We decided on a Sardinian holiday after visiting Corsica last year. The islands are very similar with the obvious exception of one being French and the other being Italian. On the whole, the roads in Sardinia are better than Corsica and it is certainly cheaper to get to (£120 round trip through RyanAir flying from Stansted to Alghero). ...  Read the complete review

We are not well travelled, but decided to take advantage of the Ryanair cheap flights to Alghero in Sardinia February 2003. We found very little information on the internet so I hope the following helps a few fellow travellers. Alghero Airport: We took the 8.45 flight from London Stansted to Alghero-Fertilia and arrived local time at ...  Read the complete review

LOCAL TRANSPORT When we arrived, we first tried to find the bus that was to take us to the city centre (reminds me of John ...  Read the complete review

I should warn you: this is the longest opinion I’ve written so far. A double espresso beside your computer might help you to get through the reading. Not a cup of tea, we’re going to coffee country! In case you think of going to Sardinia or any other Italian region one day, forget about tea altogether. Only a masochist would order tea in an ...  Read the complete review

Sardinia is a fairly vast Island, something I didn't realise when I went there, it has a huge variety to please all tastes, there are the AMAZING & GLORIOUS views which are breathtaking the ride from Bosa to Alghero is not to be missed. There are the nuraghe which are ancient Iron Age building which are of a really distinctive shape, and ...  Read the complete review

I went to Sardinia in September because I had heard that the island was one of the most picturesque in the Mediterranean, and Ryan Air were offering return flights from £29! I was not disappointed with either of these reasons. Flying to Alghero in the North West of the island, I was greeted by beautiful weather, and a lovely city split into ...  Read the complete review

Some people always get Sardinia and Sicily mixed up but I'll give you a clue...Sardinia's the one with beautiful beaches and lots of sheep (like Wales!) while Sicily's the one you always see in Mafia movies :) I think Sardinia is a really nice place to go on holiday: lots of things to do especially in the summer and many places where to relax ...  Read the complete review
