Sardinia - any recommendations?

Scam · 16 Mar 2017 at 17:32

The girlfriend and I are looking at going for a nice summer jaunt in July. Something nice and easy but with a bit of culture or places to explore. For some reason we've got Sardinia stuck in our heads but we're not really sure where to start. Can anyone recommend any towns/places to stay? We'd be after a bit of culture, definitely good food, relaxed evenings. We're not really beach people but being on the coast would be nice. Thanks for any pointers

Can't give advice on where to go, but there are cheap flights available to Alghero

Alghero is fine for a few days, a bit of a hidden gem Imo. Old town is nice and the beach is pretty decent to. Great places to eat as well.

Alghero is lovely. I would recommend hiring a car because it's the only way to reach some of the best beaches such as Porto Ferro. We stayed in the Sa Cheya Relais hotel (no 1 ranked on TripAdvisor) just outside town which I would highly recommend, it's a small quiet hotel with friendly staff, a great pool, amazing breakfast and has one of the best restaurants in alghero on site. If you're not hiring a car it might be a bit out of the way though.
