Our Sardinia holidays & tours
Our Sardinia holidays take you to the sides of the island that most holidaymakers don’t see. They eschew the popular Costa Smeralda for other emerald green delights, such as the green pine woods of the mountainous interior and the windswept Costa Verde. You can also visit the Roman Amphitheatre at Nora and the Roman ruins at Tharros, and the mysterious Nuraghe ruins, found nowhere else on Earth. Our holidays ensure that Sardinia remains protected, whether that’s helping preserve local traditions in winemaking, homemaking and baking, or using local bus routes to minimise traffic. By focusing on locally-run hotels and employing people from the community, whilst you might come to Sardinia to admire its history, you’ll also be securing its future.

Sardinia holiday highlights
Set off Italy’s west coast and hanging like a pendant below Corsica, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and has more than its fair share of highlights, from gorgeous coastline to lively cities to ancient historical sites. It’s the perfect destination for those of an active bent and there are plenty of walking and cycling trails to keep you busy, as well as windsurfing and diving for those who prefer to use their energy in the water. Trips tend to be active and small group, travelling with an expert guide, and they provide a great overview of the island.
Barbagia
1. Barbagia
The Romans christened Sardinia’s mountains and valleys ‘Barbaria’ (barbarian) and left them unconquered. Now Barbagia, remains untamed, and fiercely attached to local music, folktales and dialects. Hike the Gennargentu Massif; carpeted with herb scented scrub and roamed by wild horses; admire murals in former bandit town Orgosolo and walk from Is Muralleddas to Texil through woods of oak, cherry and cork.
Costa del Sud
2. Costa del Sud
Stretching from the harbour town of Porto di Teulada to the popular resort of Chia, the Costa del Sud is home to some of the island’s best beaches and swimming spots. They are all joined together by a gorgeous coastal road, the Strada Panoramica della Costa del Sud, which winds its way along the cliff tops with beautiful views at every turn.
Costa Verde
3. Costa Verde
The windswept coastline of the Costa Verde couldn’t be more different that the managed glitz of the Costa Smeralda, Sardinia’s most popular beach spot. Stretching almost 50km from Capo Pecora in the south to the Torre dei Corsari in the north, the Costa Verde’s wild sands are backed by dunes, cliffs and mountains and the woods and scrubland beyond are home to Sardinian deer and rare birds.
Nuragic villages
4. Nuragic villages
Strewn across the landscape are over 7,000 prehistoric stone monuments and towers called Nuraghe. Constructed by Bronze Age Nuragic societies between 1800BC and 500BC the circular structures aren’t found anywhere else on earth, and little is known of their origins or purpose. One of Sardinia's biggest collections of these structures is at Serra Orrios, which consists of 100 or so circular huts and two temples.
Sinis Peninsula
5. Sinis Peninsula
This marine protected area is a low lying outcrop. Lush countryside gives way to gorgeous beaches, plus lagoons and marshes teeming with fish and, in season, birdlife. Nuragic ruins are scattered across the landscape and one of Sardinia’s most important archeological sites, the Punic-Roman site of Tharros, proudly overlooks the sea. It’s a fantastic place to explore by bike or on foot, and there’s surfing, windsurfing and diving.
Su Gorropu Gorge
6. Su Gorropu Gorge
Europe’s deepest canyon, this isolated and dramatic gorge is encased by limestone walls soaring up to 400m high and has been shaped over time by the force of the Rio Flumineddu, a river that still flows along its bed. It’s fantastic for hiking and climbing and it’s sometimes possible to spot mouflon (wild sheep) on the rocks and golden eagles soaring in the sky above.
