Italy Gears up to Welcome British Tourists Back This Summer


09 March 2022 - Gearing up for a potential opening to Brits from 17th May, things are looking fairly sunny for Italy. Whilst it’s still uncertain as to when travel will be definitely back on the cards, according to a recent survey by Skyscanner, it’s not stopping British holidaymakers from making enquiries about travel to Italy this summer. Anecdotal evidence from key tour operators including Kuoni and Just Sardinia shows that Italy is high on the agenda for when we can travel once again.

With restrictions beginning to ease around the country, those looking for a rural escape can put Sardinia on the map following the recent news that it’s become one of the only regions in Europe in the ‘white zone’. With minimal restrictions now in place, the region has seen the reopening of gyms, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres as well as extended curfews for bars and restaurants.

Italy is the full package with something for every type of traveller. From the Aeolian islands dotted off the coast of Sicily, to the jet-setters on the foodie island of Sardinia and not forgetting its beautiful art cities: Venice, Rome Milan, Turin and Florence. Oozing with galleries, museums and churches and of course, the re-opening of Mausoleum of Augustus, the monumental tomb of Rome's first emperor which has been closed for over 14 years, Italy is a must visit destination this summer.

2021 Highlights include:

PARMA - Visit Italy’s capital of culture

In 2020, Parma was named Italy’s capital of culture by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, and will retain the prestigious title for another year following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. After restarting its calendar of cultural activities and events in summer 2020, the city is set for a rich programme this summer. Officially named Parma, UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, the city is known for its outstanding contribution to Italian food and is one the destinations offering the highest number of traditional Italian products. The city also boasts a fantastic array of museums, exhibitions and culture. This combined with Parma 2020+21 firmly taking centre stage as one of the key cultural events of the year, makes Parma a destination not to be missed.  https://parma2020.it/en/

ROME – Take in the sites of Mausoleum of Augustus, now open after 14-year closure 

Steeped in history, Rome’s Mausoleum of Augustus monument reopened to the public last week on 1st March following a major restoration. Described as an historic day for Rome, the site was constructed in 28BC and is the capital’s largest circular tomb which has been closed to the public for much of the last 80 years, with access stopped completely in 2007. The monumental tomb of Rome's first emperor is destined to become a major draw for tourists, following decades of abandonment. Tourists can book a 50-minute tour from 21st April priced at just four euros. https://www.mausoleodiaugusto.it/en/booking/


SARDINIA – Explore the low-risk island and take advantage of the late-night bars and restaurants

With Sardinia now in the ‘white’ zone and minimal restrictions across the island, the sunny coasts of Sardinia are a must for every type of traveller. Guests can go beyond the beaches and discover Sardinia’s mysterious ancient structures, hiking trails and colourful mountain towns from Neptune’s Grotto to Cala Brandinchi. Not forgetting its exquisite food and lively atmosphere, guests can now take advantage of the eased restrictions and visit the island’s cafes, bars and restaurants during the summer evenings following the recently extended curfew, 23.00 for restaurants and 21.00 for bars.

Just Sardinia Receives Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award 2021


Just Sardinia has won the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service award
, an independent seal of excellence that recognises businesses for delivering exceptional experiences, as rated by real customers.

Created by Feefo, Trusted Service is awarded only to businesses that use Feefo to collect genuine reviews and insights. Businesses who meet the high standard, based on the number of reviews they have collected and their average rating, receive the award. A highly valued badge of approval, this accreditation remains unique, as it is based purely on  interactions with real customers. As all reviews are verified as genuine, the accreditation is a true reflection of a business’s commitment to outstanding service.

Feefo gives Platinum Trusted Service awards to businesses that have achieved the Feefo Gold standard for three consecutive years or more. In normal times, the Feefo Gold Trusted Service award recognises organisations that have collected at least 50 Feefo reviews in a year and have achieved a service rating of at least 4.5. This year, to avoid penalising businesses suffering unduly from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the criteria has been adjusted. Organisations that won a Gold Trusted Service award last year but struggled to achieve the required number of reviews this year, have been assessed on an average rating over the 24-month period covering 2020 and 2019.

Huw Nurse, MD of Just Sardinia commented: “We’re very excited to receive this award from Feefo because it’s based on the feedback of real customers, who are the most important judges of all. It recognises how hard we work to give all our customers the best possible experience, even in a year as tough as 2020. Everyone at Just Sardinia is fully committed to the highest quality of service, so it’s important for us to listen, understand and respond to all our customers. The beauty of Feefo is that it enables us to consistently improve, so we’re looking forward to another successful year.”

Congratulating Just Sardinia on winning this year’s award, Steph Heasman, Director of Customer Success at Feefo, commented: “The Trusted Service award has always been about recognising companies that are outstanding in customer experience and generate great feedback from happy customers. 

“This year, despite the incredible challenges of a global pandemic, so many companies using Feefo have continued to provide remarkably high levels of service and they deserve a huge amount of credit for what they have achieved. It’s why we have changed our criteria to be fair to the organisations that have struggled in such difficult circumstances. At Feefo we help our clients give their customers the best experiences possible.

“I’m confident that throughout 2021 we’ll see even greater customer experience achievements from our partners as we return to something like business-as-usual.”

Feefo is a reviews and customer insights technology company that provides businesses with the tools to collect real, purchase-verified reviews and insights. Working with over 3,500 clients, Feefo ensures that all feedback is authentic, by matching it to a legitimate transaction, to increase consumer confidence and enable businesses to make smarter business decisions.

Forte Village Sardinia - The COVID19 Free Resort

Interesting news article in CGTN advocating Forte Village as a Covid19 Free Resort...

"At this time of year, European thoughts turn to the heart warming idea of a long summer break abroad enjoying sun and sea. But with the COVID-19 pandemic still circulating and infections rising in several parts of the world, there's a question mark over whether summer holidays will go ahead as normal this year. 

One hotel which changed its business model in light of COVID-19 restrictions is the Forte Village resort on the Italian island of Sardinia. Last year, Forte Village invested more than a million dollars in an onsite COVID-19 testing centre as part of its newly-introduced protocol to test guests on their arrival at the resort.

"During the lockdown, we were brainstorming with the team and thought that this year … (we needed) new, exciting things to offer to the client, the focus was more on how to make Forte Village the safest place in the world," said Lorenzo Giannuzzi, CEO of Forte Village.

"We decided to enlarge and to invest in our medical team by bringing new doctors. And we started to research what was the most safe and reliable test, and with a lot of research, we finally found it. We worked with three universities to put together this protocol that is vouched by very eminent scientists," he explained.

The protocol introduced at the resort was to carry out a rapid antibody test on all guests at check-in before they enter the resort. The test involved a small finger-prick, which was then taken to be analysed in the hotel's testing centre and results were produced in around seven minutes, meaning guests would not have to wait for a long time.

Once a negative result was produced and everything was fine, the guests would then be allowed to enter the resort without having to worry about wearing a mask or social distancing for the duration of their stay as a COVID-19-free environment was promised by only allowing those with negative test results on the site.

"I was quite impressed with the solution they brought because we knew it's all going to be safe, we didn't have to wear masks once we've passed the test," Razvan Rosan, a Just Sardinia guest at the resort, told CGTN Europe.

As one of the first resorts in Europe to introduce testing measures, Forte Village said a positive to testing guests was that once inside, group sporting activities or the water park or even eating in the restaurant could be enjoyed by guests without social distancing restrictions."

Just Sardinia are offering 15% Discount on all the Forte Village hotels and up to 2 Children (2-12yrs) Go Free (on certain dates and hotels)>
