Welcome in Sardinia

An island with multiple facets

Sardinia is an attractive island immersed in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, located in the western part of Italy and south of Corsica. The region offers to its visitors an admirable natural and cultural inheritance.
You will primarily discover a whole range of balneal sites giving free access to swimming and diving, all this in perfect harmony with the mountainous terrain crossing the center of the territory.
In other words, the many beaches, limestone cliffs, valleys as well as the vegetation associated to the Sardinian landscape will transform your stay into an unforgettable experience. From a cultural point of view, the isolation of Sardinia over the Italian peninsula gave place to a strong Sardinian identity.
Actually, the language (which includes several dialects), the art expressed through paintings known as “Murales” of Orgosolo for example, the worldwide unique “Tenores” singing from the city of Nuoro, the dances such as the “ballu tundu”, all the treasures belonging to the Mediterranean cuisine graciously emphasized by the regional typical gastronomy, the traditional outfits/behaviors along with the curious archeological sites such as the “Nuraghe” architecture (dating from the second millennium B.C) popping out from time to time along the roads therefore portray and flaunt all the unknown wonders and compelling symbols linked to this beautiful island.
And last but not least, you’ll be able to appreciate the print left by various dominations throughout the centuries; the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, the italic people, the Moors and Spanish have thus strongly influenced the Sardinian architecture.
Hence, all this diversity, local wealth and distinct culture make of this area a highly exceptional destination either for your vacation or relaxation.
