What makes Sardinia holidays special
Clear coves, little harbours, a terrace at sunset and town squares that come alive in the evening. A self-catering villa puts you right in the middle of it.
Where to find the best villas in Sardinia
The island is bigger than it looks: from the northern tip to the south coast is about four hours by car. Pick the region by the holiday you want.
East: the Gulf of Orosei
Cala Gonone is the base for coves like Cala Luna and Cala Mariolu, mostly reached by boat. Cala Goloritzé is reached on foot; in summer access is limited.
South: Chia, Teulada and Villasimius
Dunes and shallow turquoise water at Chia, the bay of Tuerredda and, near Villasimius, Porto Giunco beach with flamingos in the lagoon behind it. Ideal for a family villa holiday.
West: Alghero, Stintino and Sinis
Alghero's old town, La Pelosa near Stintino — with limited, pre-booked access in summer — and Is Arutas with its quartz sand. Taking sand, shells or stones is forbidden in Sardinia.
