Make a run for Italys hidden regions: Inland Sardinia

In yesterdays Sunday Times, 26th February, Stanley Stewart picked his five favourite less familiar corners of Italy to explore and included Inland Sardinia...click here to read article.

Just Sardinia suggests to eat and sleep at the Su Gologone Country Resort, a family owned rural resort immersed in the unspoilt central Sardinian countryside between Oliena and Dorgali at the foot of the Supramonte mountains. Originally started as a restaurant, it is well known for its excellent cuisine and now as an established hotel with spring water pool, tennis court and trekking excursions to experience real Sardinia. This would be good to combine with a beach hotel such as the Club Hotel Baia Sardinia, situated on the spectacular beach enjoying wonderful views, direct beach access and a choice of restaurants for a relaxing holiday on the Costa Smeralda, just 40km from Olbia airport and 130km from the Su Gologone.

Prices from £985 per person to include 3 nights at the Su Gologone Country Resort in a Classic room with half board and 4 nights at Club Hotel Baia Sardinia in a Standard room also with half board, BA flights from London Heathrow to Olbia and a Group A hire car.
