Costa Smeralda is the ideal location to be seduced by the many charms of one of Italy's largest islands, Sardinia. Its white sandy beaches caressed by a sea that changes from crystal clear around your toes to a deep inky blue on the horizon is just the beginning. Add to this a backcloth of rugged mountains with ancient monuments and traditions, lakes and forests, unspoilt villages and 'chic' marinas, and you will soon succumb to its temptations, including ....

Private cruises with stops for a swim and picnic in a quiet cove.
Sail to the Archipelago of Madallena and its pink beaches.
Visit Cagliari for its opera and shops.
Take the same train journey as in DH Lawrence's 'Sea and Sardinia'.
Follow the paths of Shepherds through beautiful landscapes.
