I’m looking for a price estimate for 10 days car rental in July/August, so I can get the gist of whether the offer I have is good or bad.

Thanks!

Hi
I tried to make beach reservation at nikki beach on july 4th but its already full. Any tips?

Any other beach clubs recommendations?

thanks!

We will spend 2 weeks in Posada in a few days. We will bring our bikes and plan to ride approximately 80-150 km a day, depending on elevation and road conditions. Now I'm wondering if we should bring our gravel bikes or road bikes? We don't want to ride on busy streets and prefer bike paths or small roads without much car traffic. I have no idea about the condition of these smaller roads or bike paths in the posada area so I'm hoping to get some advice here.

We’ll be there in September for a week. Looking for a nice hotel, not super luxury, maybe average about $400-$500/night. I appreciate any insights and recommendations. Thank you.

Hi!
This will be my third consecutive year visiting Sardinia. During my first two trips, I mainly explored the northern part of the island, so I’ve already visited La Maddalena, Alghero, Castelsardo, and even reached Olbia. Last year I also spent time around Santa Teresa Gallura, Bosa, and explored many of the famous beaches such as Cala Luna. I also did several boat trips to discover the coastline and hidden coves.

This year, I’m considering doing something different and heading south to explore places like Villasimius and the surrounding area. I would love to hear your recommendations and whether you think it’s worth it.

The main goal of my trip is to find the most beautiful turquoise waters and the best spots for snorkeling and diving. I’m especially interested in marine life, underwater scenery, and places where I can experience Sardinia’s sea at its best.

I will have a car with me, so I have complete freedom to move around the island. I’ll be staying for seven days and arriving by ferry in Porto Torres, but I’m flexible and can drive anywhere if it’s worth the trip.

Based on those interests, what areas, beaches, or diving/snorkeling spots would you recommend the most? :)

I am planning first trip to Sardinia. Begin in Cagliari (seeking hotel recommendations there--luxury price--up to $2000) euro night.. is ok)

From there, with a rental car, hope to drive along the west coast and spend a few nights at LE DUNE. Looking for comments on anyone who has been. Their pool is not heated and I aim an avid swimmer.....would water temperatures be ok in early June? From there, on to Alghero (VILLA LAS TRONAS??)....and I will post another series of questions about that leg of the trip. Main interests are scenery, swimming in warm water (I am a lap swimmer) and food.... We have a generous budget but are not looking for bling and glitz on the Costa Smeralda..

Hey guys , going to be in the east coast for a couple of of nights , was wondering if anyone had recommendations for cool upscale bars/restaurants that turn a little “clubby” as the night goes along (not sure how to describe it better !)- DJ , opportunity to get up and dance and socialise etc .

Not really into Nightclubs (hence not really looking at Ritual and some others) but love the active bar scene . Thanks in advance !

Staying near Spiaggia La Pelosa early August. I see I need tickets for the beach and they release 48 hours before from the authorized site. Is this like a guarantee I’ll be able to purchase when the site goes live or could I be screwed?

I see there are unauthorized resell sites and don’t know if they’re legit. (lapelosa-tickets.com)

I just dont want to go all this way for a vacation and not be able to go to the beach I booked the trip for lol

Getting married in Mallorca then skirting over to Sardinia for a week honeymoon (then going to taormina).

Staying at baglioni resort, very excited. Any must dos or sees? Restaurants? We won't have a rental car unfortunately.

Early September!

Hi everyone,

I’ll be arriving at Alghero Airport soon and I’m looking to rent a car. The issue is that I don’t have a credit card, only a debit card, and I can also pay cash if needed for the deposit.

Does anyone know of any car rental companies at or near Alghero Airport that accept debit cards or cash deposits for the security deposit? I’d really appreciate any recommendations, websites, or personal experiences.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone!

We’re planning a trip to Sardinia without a car and would love some advice.

Would it be better to fly into Alghero or Cagliari if our main goal is to stay on the Baunei coast and visit places like Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Luna using buses, walking, and boat tours?

For a 4–5 day stay, where would you recommend staying as a base on the Baunei coast?

After that, we’re thinking of spending our last couple of days closer to the airport before flying home. We’ll be relying entirely on public transport.

Any tips from people who have done a similar trip would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello people, we come on 28th of june till 8th of July and we would like to rent also a boat for Madalena area. What do you recommend? Booking in advance? I am thinking about the weather, maybe on that day will be cloudy or idk.

Going to Sardinia for the first time! My partner and I will be there for 7 days (I know not enough time to take in everything the island has to offer). But I’m struggling to pick where I want to base the stay, we will be renting a car so we can travel around more. Does anyone have any recommendations? We are hoping to stay up north to hit La Perlosa, Alghero, La Maddalena and any other places that you think are a must see! I’ve been looking at staying in San Pantaleo but unsure if it’s best to be closer to the coast?! From confused tourist.

Buongiorno principi e principesse!
Cerco consigli su dove prendere un hotel in Sardegna. Ci vado quest’estate al fine di agosto, insieme al mio amico migliore. Noi veniamo dai Paesi Bassi, e io in passato ho vissuto a Bologna, ma non sono mai stata in Sardegna.
Non abbiamo figli, ci piace (ovviamente) andare al mare, e di sera vorremmo andare in città (Alghero, mi sono sentita dire? Oppure è troppo turistica?), cenare ai ristoranti, bere vino e uscire. Non ci piacciono i locali enormi e molto turistici, ma cmq cerchiamo vivacità - e speriamo di ballare su Giuni Russo :) Sappiamo che a fine agosto ci saranno turisti un po’ ovunque, ma sarebbe bello evitare le classiche trappole. Se ci potete qualche consiglio saremmo felicissimi e molto grati! Grazie mille in anticipo!

Hello! I'm visiting Sardegna with my family, and I keep seeing this matchstick graffiti around Alghero. Does anyone know if there is a story behind it? I think it's beautiful, and I have a very similar tattoo. I'm curious if there is a political meaning? I don't know much about Alghero subculture or politics, and would love to learn more.

We are two adults spending 3 nights around the Romazzino area with a rental car looking for more off-radar beaches and restaurants avoiding the overcrowded, ultra-lux spots. We tend to prefer a more unorganized local beach vibe for a good swim over pricy yacht drops and seeking rustic tavernas serving simple, local cuisine over Michelin stared or overhyped restaurants. Would love to hear from locals and experienced travelers on this one!

Can you book a sunbed on the official Cala Brandinchi website or is it only for the entry tickets? I found other websites to book the sunbeds online, but I am unsure if they are legit (linked below). Has anyone used these?

I am going in this July so I want to ensure I have a spot since it’ll be so busy.

Sorry, but the beach was really crowded so i couldn't take other photos

Ciao everyone,

I’ll be staying near Olbia from July for an entire month. Is it possible to rent a small boat so I can have my own excursion? I’ve never driver a boat so that is a factor. I’ve heard that no license is necessary for small boats. Please confirm. Also, I’m on a tight budget. I’ll have a car so I’m willing to drive to any port that’s a reasonable distance. Thanks in advance.

Just bought airline tickets for my girlfriend and I to visit the first week of August! We land in Olbia and will be there for 3/4 days before heading to Naples. It will be our first time ever in Italy. Any advice from the Sardinia locals? Restaurants? Favorite places?

I'm coming for my honeymoon in 10 days - I'm hoping to surprise my wife by setting up a photographer and access to a vintage car - even if I can't drive it - for the photos. Literally an hour or two. I think this would be timeless and likely our favorite photos from the entire wedding overall. Doesn't have to be ultra luxury ferrari-esque, a classic fiat or alfa romeo style would be amazing.

Tough task - I can't seem to find anything online. Any insight here for me? Thanks.

My partner and I will be traveling to Sardinia mid-July and staying in the South West coast as well as the eastern, more inland region. We are primarily going for hiking and nature.

As we are staying away from the most touristy areas and will probably stick to more local places, are reservations a concern even during the peak tourist season?

Also open to any recommendations in those areas if anyone has them.

Thanks!

Hi, I’d really appreciate some advice on how to approach my first month or three in Sardinia—as someone who’s never been there before, is traveling with cats, in a van, with all my worldly possessions, and during the summer high season.

My job in Prague ends in two months; I want to load the cats into a camper van and head to Sardinia to slowly figure out if we can find a place there for maybe a year.

If I didn’t have cats, it’d be no problem—I’d just go through the campsites and slowly get my bearings, but as it is, I need some kind of base, an apartment, a community, something—where the price is reasonable and I can pay monthly.

Am I right in thinking I should probably head to Cagliari, where there are the most expats?

Do you have any ideas on where to look for short-term rentals that aren’t exactly touristy apartments? I know during the peak summer season, I probably can’t avoid higher prices too much. Have you had good experiences with Idealista?

Thank you very very much
