Sardinia.... a little piece of paradise

Sarah Todd on 28 September 2011
This was my second visit to Sardinia and I was wondering whether this time would be as good as the last... may I say that it was even better !!

Sardinia is simply beautiful - the crystal clear sea lapping the soft, white sandy beaches - I haven't seen any beaches this good outside of the Caribbean (and I will challenge anyone to tell me otherwise)!

We stayed in the South of the Island this time and made the most of our 4 day break with a nifty little Fiat 500 to explore the local area. Once you head out of bustly Cagliari you hit the coast road which takes you to some great little beaches dotted in between the local villages. I can definitely recommend a little beach called 'Tuerredda' (not well signposted so look carefully) with a great beach cafe/bar called 'Poseidon' - we could have quite easily spent all day and night here!

Travelling at this time of year can be a bit of a risk with the weather but we were very lucky and enjoyed 4 days of cloudless skies (which was just as well because there was a heatwave going on back in the UK)! The weather was also at a perfect temperature for our little 2 year old who spent his days on the beach, jumping the waves and building sandcastles on the shore.

Yes, Sardinia can be quite pricey but remember....you are paying for a 'little bit of paradise' ... surely that's got to be worth every penny!
