Sardinia Travel Tips

I just got back from a 2-week adventure in Sardinia and Corsica and I was completely blown away by the beaches, the food, the mountains and the sheer beauty! It's a truly magical place that is not to be missed. See below for all my recos if you plan to visit!

We flew into Olbia - Costa Smeralda/ Porto Cervo is where we visited along with the stunning Su Gologone but would also love to go back and visit Cagliari in the south! A car is a definite must - the roads are great and easy to drive (we rented from Sixt).

HOTEL

Cala Di Volpe - this is where we stayed, a beautiful property and amazing service

Su Gologone - THE most special hotel. Started as a restaurant and the daughter of the owners is an artist who turned it into a spectacular experiential hotel. If you can - stay in the artist's suite - it is magical!!

Quattro Passi AI Pescatore
La Scogliera (a must!!) - in La Maddalena
SOMU
Il Fuoco Sacro
Essenza Bistrot
La Pasqualina
Phi Beach (go for sunset - food was ok but the views are insane!)
Ritual (fun for a cocktail and views and the club / food was horrible!)
Confusion (they also have a champagne and shisha lounge)
Su Gologone Hotel restaurant

RESTARAUNTS

ITINERARY

Spent a day driving up to San Pantaleo (cute little medieval town with great little shops and restaurants) - from there we drove to Palau where we took a ferry to La Madalana (a must!). Had lunch at La Scogliera which was incedible. Tons of beautiful beaches there (cala corticcio, cala granara) - I would actually recommend going by boat (think it's easiest to see more beaches that way!)

DAY 1

San Pantaleo

La Madalana

Spent a day relaxing at the hotel / had access to their beach Matsuhisa (and had lunch there).

DAY 2

Drove down the coast - stopped in a medieval town called Posada (great views) and ended up in Su Gologone. Spent 2 days there (lots of things to do from hikes, to cooking classes, to horseback riding, to watching movies under the stars!) - don’t miss the boutiquie there!! We didn’t make it to the beaches by Su Gologone but if you can head to the Golfo of Orosei for a boat day and visit Cala Luna and The Pisine di Venere which are supposed to be spectacular natural pools.
