Holiday rentals and lettings in Sardinia

Sardinia truly has something for everyone. Its clean, sandy coastal beaches are some of the finest in the Med and make for a great place for a family holiday. For those seeking adventure, consider a holiday rental inland such as the lovely town of Nuoro. You’ll find relief from the host summer sun here, too. Or perhaps you’re seeking city life, in which case look no further than the thriving capital, Cagliari, right on the southern tip of the island. Sardinia: The holiday of a lifetime.

With an astonishing 18,000+ holiday homes for you to choose from, Sardinia will have the perfect holiday letting for you. Many of the coastal rentals have a stunning sea view, and most have delightful terraces to enjoy a glass of wine and soak in the atmosphere. Generously sized out of town houses often have their own swimming pools to enjoy and a welcoming and attractive garden space to relax in.

Sardinia is an Italian island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off Italy’s west coast. There are frequent flights into the airport at Sardinia’s capital, Cagliari, which is only four miles from the city centre. The slower paced option is a ferry from Naples which takes around 14 hours. Once you’re there, the sky’s the limit in terms of your options. Adventure sports inland, sunbathing on the 2,000 (!) kilometres of beaches, city shopping, or just hanging around the pool under the sun – the choices are infinite! Don’t miss Porto Cervo in the north east for the most upmarket and fancy shopping outlets, or the antiques market in Bastioni di San Remy, only on Sundays.

Sardinia has something for every adventure seeker. The mountainous inland region is overlaid with hiking routes for all experience levels, and Biking Sardinia in the north west will provide you with everything you need for a mountain bike tour. But if your idea of an exciting time is a fabulous and beautiful beach, you’ll adore Cala Luna on the east coast, a secluded beach with – if you want to – caves to explore – or soft sand to snooze on if that’s more your thing!

Sardinia is famous for its crafts, not least its woven fabrics. Artisan Maurizio Savoldo, based right in Sardinia’s centre, hand dyes fabrics using traditional techniques to create one of a kind scarves and home furnishings. Basket weaving – done by both men and women – is a strong cultural link to the old times in Sardinia. Local plant materials provide the supplies for these attractive and practical products. Using a rather less common material, filigree gold jewellery is also a skill that is dear to the Sardinians. Combining the expertise of basket weaving with the deftness of the jeweller, fine pieces of wearable art are created, ready for you to love and to buy.

Sardinia’s coastline is extensive and beautiful. From tiny, private coves to wide, well serviced beaches there is something to suit everyone’s needs. Particular delights include Cala Mariolu to the east, home to some of the best snorkelling in Sardinia, and Spiaggia di Liscia Ruja, where the finest soft, blonde sand on the island is to be found, together with exceptional restaurants and the most gorgeous, clear blue sea. For cosy, private beaches you can’t do better than the truly lovely Quinta Spiaggia on the north east coast – Small and perfectly formed!

Enjoy being driven through the beautiful countryside of Sardinia in a 4x4 off roader, discovering places most tourists never see. TrekZone di Pietro Fiori offer access to rarely-seen, untouched areas of the island.

The town of Alghero in the northwest has a historical old centre which must not be missed. Famous for its gothic buildings, Alghero is a real gem of a city. Another history hot-spot is Oristano, home to the Sartiglia, a historical re-enactment of a skills tournament. For Roman history, consider Forum Traiani Thermae, less than 30km from Oristano, where you’ll find thermal spas still in use which were used over 2,000 years ago by the Romans.

Food and wine lovers will be delighted by the guided tours on offer. Various options include trips to local vineyards and tastings of local food specialities. Check at the tourist office for times and availability.

Cattedrale di Santa Maria is an absolutely unmissable stop on your tour of the island. Its Baroque interior is one of the finest of its kind.

One of the prettiest towns in Italy, Bosa’s candy-coloured houses are a classic Sardinian sight. Bosa, which is west facing, also offers its lucky visitors extraordinary sunsets. The ideal place to watch the sun go down for the last time in your holiday of a lifetime to Sardinia!
