Many years ago on a very frosty morning at the end of March, we left England to travel to Sardinia for the very first time. We arrived in Alghero less than 2 and a half hours later and were delighted to find the island in bloom. The spring sky was clear and bright and the aroma of thyme and orange blossom filled the air.

We spent a few hours in the bustling town of Alghero exploring the historic centre with its massive stone walls and fortifications, and after a visit to San Francesco monastery and a spot of lunch in the sunshine overlooking the sea, we headed for the quieter East coast of the island.
Once we had settled into our small hotel in Orosei, we took a walk around the pretty little market town, the marina and along the long, sandy beach, and in the evening the hotel owner introduced us to some traditional Sardinian cuisine in his restaurant. We ended our first day in Sardinia with a delightful meal of Malloreddus alla Campidanese (a saffron pasta dish with a hearty salsiccia sauce), stuffed snails with artichokes, lamb in white wine sauce and 'Involtini', accompanied by a wonderful bottle of local wine from the Sella & Mosca vinery, followed by a plate of 'Seadas', the famous little cheese pies with honey and lemon drizzle.

The next day, fresh and keen after a restful night, we set about discovering the surrounding area:
Sardinia's rugged beauty had attracted us already on our trip across the island, but after a few days exploring this area we were completely captivated by the untamed beauty of the coast line and the impressive Gennargentu mountain range. The majestic cliffs and hidden bays with fine white sand next to the turquoise and sometimes emerald green sea, the fragrance of unusual flowers and shrubs and the taste of the first artichokes and wild asparagus sprouting in the meadows under the pine trees, invigorated all our senses.
We saw many unusual birds on our nature walks , watched cormorants diving off the cliffs and flamingoes wading in the lagoons. We climbed over the sand dunes in the Parco Nazionale at Capo Comino and walked along the beaches of La Caletta, Posada, Budoni and San Teodoro just miles and miles of light sand and only the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore. Heavenly!

When we ventured further inland by car, we found the strong contrast between the modern ports and towns and the hinterland with its traditional villages and 'Nuraghi' immensely fascinating. Traces of a multitude of foreign influences on the island's architecture, traditions and food became apparent. We were taken by the earnest yet exceptionally friendly manner with which the Sards welcomed us and with the help of our friendly and knowledgeable hosts, we were able to get to know some of Sardinia's varied cuisine and sample the local culinary delights.

Towards the end of our stay we took a boat trip along the coast with an experienced diver, who showed us mesmerising sea caves and beautiful deserted bays with such clear waters, that we could see to the bottom of the sea far below us. By then we were seriously enchanted with Sardinia. and upon our return to the UK, family and friends were surprised to hear us talk with such zeal about the island and keen to discover it for themselves.

We were of course overjoyed when they confirmed that we had indeed discovered a little gem of an island in the middle of the Mediterranean and equally astonished to find that this part of Sardinia was still almost completely unknown to Holidaymakers from the UK and Ireland, but when we looked for holiday rentals in the area, we soon discovered "Sardafit", a group of local Holiday home owners, who had already been offering their seaside villas and apartments to visitors from Continental Europe for more than 20 years.

We were amazed to find such a wide and varied selection of properties close to the most wonderful sandy beaches and the crystal clear sea, and after ater a few more visits to Satdinia, we decided that, with our enthusiasm and many years of experience in the travel industry, we were ready to introduce this coastline of Sardinia to the UK and Ireland. We have since also attracted many international travelers and had a wonderful response to our program.
With the program in its 8th year and our love for Sardinia unscathed, we hope that you will be just as enchanted with this wonderful island as we are!
