Discover island living at its finest with this beautifully balanced escape combining leisurely pleasures and gentle exploration. The stunning Costa Smeralda beckons with pristine beaches and tranquil bays, while a guided stroll through Olbia reveals its authentic character. This historic city centre charms with independent boutiques, inviting wine bars and café-filled piazzas that capture the genuine spirit of Sardinian life. Our wonderful lunch together at a traditional Locanda rounds off our cultural immersion perfectly. The remainder of the week unfolds entirely as you wish – perhaps a scenic boat journey exploring La Maddalena’s captivating bays and islands, or an engaging day learning traditional crafts including cork production and Castelsardo’s distinctive basket-weaving techniques. Alternatively the cobblestone streets and gothic buildings of Alghero await, offering a fascinating contrast to your encounters in Sardinia so far or why not take a ferry over to Corsica to explore its glorious natural harbour and Old Town. Freedom and choice define this delightful Mediterranean retreat.
