Solo travel experience

It was winter and I didn’t have a car, so I didn’t have the best time in Sardinia. This was my last international travel and I’d love to visit again on summertime and hopefully with a rented car. Apart from that, the coast is beautiful, the food is simple but good and people can be friendly.

Couple travel experience

Sardinia is a very nice island with mountains and the sea side. I always felt save during the stay. We had 4 different accommodations in just one week so we saw a lot. Is good to reserve a table in the restaurants before hands as it is quite busy always.
