Costa Smeralda – heaven on earth? Harpendia magazine in association with Just Sardinia


We all make choices on what a holiday can offer - for us it is peace and sunshine, small hotels set in green gardens and close to the beach. The Costa Smeralda seemed the ideal choice.

All the boxes were ticked - even the drive up to the hotel was lovely - enormous sculpture like rocks framed each side of the manicured lawns, and then we arrived at .......... a low rise hotel -TheHotel Pulicinu (which seems to be the style in most of Sardinia).  Our room had a small balcony overlooking the two pools - twin beds and small shower room, there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us.  The possibilities of a week’s relaxation gave us energy to unpack and try out the pool area. The views over two bays where magnificent with mountains in the background - picture postcard!!!!

We ate by candlelight every night on the terrace, the sunsets being the icing on the cake to end our days.  Sardinian bread, as thin as paper, is delicious but we had to restrict ourselves to enjoy the four courses that followed. Local fish was always cooked in an authentic Sardinian style and the sommelier was happy to encourage us try a local wine with our choice of dish.  The lounge area had many types of seating (and the usual TV mostly tuned into football), there were lots of quiet areas where you could have a drink, read or just rest. Breakfasts again where excellent with a vast array of anything you could wish for - and if it wasn’t there they could get it for you.

There were many positives. Visiting the beautiful beach at BajaSardinia was one - reached by the shuttle bus from the hotel - our first glimpse at the bluest sea we had ever seen was breathtaking and the short walk to the beach took us past many lovely shops and bars. We found a lovely private beach area where we hired beds and parasols daily. At lunch time we ambled to what was to become “our favourite bar” The Baracuda.  Fabulous food, friendly staff and great views. The shuttle bus will collect you at your chosen time, and by 6pm we where ready for an iced lemon before the short ride back to the hotel.  There are many opportunities to join day long boat trips which take you around the headland and various islands - some with pink sand. The Costa Smeralda conjures up an area full of film stars - pricey restaurants - but ........ that was not the case (if we’d gone 20 minutes around the headland then we would have arrived with the beautiful people) - we had our own beautiful people - and enjoyed the week of our lives. Sadly all holiday have to end but our wait in one of the loveliest airports (Olbia) helped ease us back to the flight home. The Costa Smeralda in Sardinia is beautiful ..... you will not be disappointed.

Lazy days in the laid-back south of Sardinia



With ancient ruins, a crystal-clear sea and relaxed resorts, Grace Bradberry finds Pula the perfect place for a child-friendly break…

“Walking up the hillside track to the ruins at Nora, on the southern tip of Sardinia, I feel as if a lifetime of internal conflict has been resolved. I am visiting a ruin - and yet I am scarcely leaving the beach. Below, to the left, is a gorgeous arc of sand and sea, dotted with towels and sun shades and the paraphernalia of a beach holiday. I will be, at all times, within five minutes of this gorgeous expanse as I tour the site.

How brilliant of first the Phoecians then the Romans, to pick this spot to build: sharing the same car park, that requires no long, sticky car journey, no sad half day parted from the sand and sea - in other words, the perfect Mediterranean holiday ruin with a toddler in tow.  And so we - my three year old son and I - "do" the ruin.  I have a slightly heavy heart as there is a compulsory 45 minute tour, in Italian.  But I soon feel slightly ashamed at my attitude - this turns out to be a major site, and the tour guide is lively, switching easily into English.  the oldest inscription dates back to about 1,000 BC and there are the remains of a Phoenician temple to the goddess Tanit.  (Part of that original city is now submerged and can be seen on a separate snorkel tour).  Much of the rest of the site with its baths, theatre and luxury villa, dates back to the Romans, who made Mora the capital of Sardinia in 238 BC, and built a main square overlooking the sea.  We do not quite make it to the end of the tour, I have to admit:  as the sun creeps higher in the cloudless sky, so does the temperature until my son finally cracks and lies down on the rubbly path by the Roman theatre, all possible interest spent.  "No!" he cries.  We beat a retreat and, in a cafe that sits on the dividing line between ruin and beach, we grab the last terrace table not taken by a coach party.  We have done the ruin.  Now for the beach.  South Sardinia is all about the beach - no one would claim anything
else.  In the north east, there is the Costa Smeralda, which is about the beach, but also about luxury shopping, the villas of the trashy mega-rich, and nightlife (Berlusconi’s seaside estate, Villa Certosa, is in this region, with its grotto, fake volcano and notoriously young female guests).  Indeed, it's this expense and bling for which Sardinia is best known. 

But here, in the more laid-back south, there are mid-range hotels alongside the expensive ones, as well as small B&Bs and agriturismo rooms for a little as €30pp per night.  It feels as if there is just the sand, sea and a smattering of small towns, rather than some kind of consumer paradise. We are staying on the edge of Pula, a mile or so up the road from Nora, and 27km from the capital Cagliari, outside which lies the south’s main airport.  Pula is not a flashy town but it has an attractive main square edged by tourist shops, a deli, and a restaurant or two, a couple of supermarkets (we are self-catering), and a church.  We dine at one excellent restaurant Zia Leunora, down a side street, where we eat fish baked in salt and steak in a pretty courtyard with flowering climbers.  My son's favourite dinner though is pizza from a cubby-hole of a takeaway, eaten sitting on a wall.

Our apartment is in the Lantana, a Roman-villa style resort that makes a point of being family friendly and has a large pool with a shallow area and a lovely children's playground.  I could have happily hung out there all day, but that would have been to miss not only Nora but the glory of the beaches.  And what beaches.

Pula is the start of a long string of sandy strips, curving round along the SS195 to Porto di Teulada.  In the middle of this sweep, just beyond Nora, is a kind of mystery stretch hidden from view first by a pine grove and then by the vast Forte Village, an (expensive) complex of hotels and restaurants, which for a long time was an island of luxury tourism in the midst of an otherwise undeveloped coast.

The most glorious of the beaches is Chia, one of those knock-out crescents of sandy perfection, sheltered by dunes and junipers, that features in people's list of top-ten beaches.  Here we stand in a vast sandy moonscape and everything is golden, and perfect and very hot.  At one edge is a cafe selling old-fashioned bottles of Coke, and a place with surfboards to hire.  Then nothing for ages - just sand and sea - until you reach another cafe at the far end.

We paddle, walk half way, get too hot, fight over applying sun cream, make sand castles, get too hot again...and finally I realise that this beach is just too perfect for a toddler.  It's a place for couples and teens, and surfers and well anyone who doesn’t throw a tantrum when they get hot.

By now, I have a taste for the Sardinian roads.  It's time for a mini road trip.  So on a day even hotter than the last (the week would crescendo to 100 degrees) we set off southwest, for the island of Sant'Antioco - my kind of island in that it can be reached by driving across a mile-long causeway (no sea-sick boat trip involved).  Even at 10.30am, as we park near the harbour, the heat hangs heavily.  We walk through a big open square with deserted coffee shops until we reach the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, entirely shaded by trees.  Up a cobbled street and past old women sitting half asleep in doorways, we make it to the church square and step inside the Basilica di Sant'Antioco Martire, built in 1102.  A young man immediately asks if we would like to go on a tour of the catacombs.  We descend a few steps into a small labyrinth, musky with the smell of earth and old bones (Saint Antiochus is said to have sought refuge and died here). 

But with that visit, our exploration is over.  The following day, we go to the pool and beach.  And the day after that.  We've done enough."

Why Sardinia ?


Sardinia, or in Italian 'Sardegna', is not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated Italian island, west of mainland Italy and south of Corsica. With over 1800km of unspoilt coastline, it is renowned for beautiful beaches, translucent azure blue sea and fascinating rock formations.

Yet being the second largest Mediterranean island, it has so much more to offer with an interesting history, wild mountainous interior, vibrant towns with local traditions, colourful festivals.  The people are warm and friendly and enjoying themselves in a way of life.  A warm welcome awaits you in Sardinia!

Climate
Sardinia has a pleasant 6 month summer, hot and dry from May to October but often with a breeze due to its location in the centre of the Mediterranean. The winter months are mild with a good amount of sunshine, particularly in March and April when all the flowers are out and it can be hot during the daytime and cooler in the evenings.

Easy Access by Air
Sardinia can be reached by just a 2 hour flight from the UK. There are now direct flights from many regional airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, Luton and also Dublin.  There are 3 airports in Sardinia: Olbia in the north east, Cagliari in the south and Alghero in the north west.

Mediterranean Lifestyle
Sardinia is an island that allows you to truly experience the very essence of Mediterranean life. The cuisine offers a rich repertoire of dishes, heavily influenced by the country’s various neighbours including Corsica and Italy, accompanied by impressive local wines. The mixing of game and farm produce (traditional with inland towns) and fish and seafood (traditional with coastal towns) result in a combination of flavours and appearance that is unique to Sardinia.

Something for Everyone
Sardinia has something for everyone from the jet set world famous Costa Smeralda, with breathtaking scenery and exclusive hotels, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and Caribbean-like turquoise sea.  Wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches, vibrant yet uncommercialised towns and villages, a mountainous interior with wonderful views of the island, refreshing lakes and waterfalls, and an interesting history. For example, there are around 7,000 ‘Nuraghi’, (mysterious stone dwellings dating back 3,500 years), throughout the island as a permanent reminder of its prehistoric occupation, as well as numerous examples of Roman architecture as a catalogue of their dominance.
