On its own website, L’Agnata di De Andre, set at the foot of Mount Limbara in Northern Sardinia, is described as a “country chic hotel”. It is set in the country – in fact, it’s so remote, it’s very difficult to find initially – and it is very “chic”. But it’s as far from a […]
By town standards, Alghero, on the north western coast of Sardinia, is small. The historic centre can be walked in a couple of hours and the long sandy, pine wood fringed beaches to the north are close enough to walk to. (If you want real privacy however, you need to take public transport, the car […]
One of the joys of being lucky enough to do a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants trip, with no real forward planning, is discovering real gems, off the tourist track.

Having heard lots of people rave about this north eastern Sardinian coastline, we thought that a slight detour was definitely in order. We’d been staying at an agriturismo in the Saltara region and were heading to a second, a little further south (but still deep in northern hills) & the coastline to the east was […]

As the “Hip Hotels Italy” says, “Officially, Sardinia is a part of Italy; culturally, it’s another world…” And, this is what Hotel le Dune seems to be. Part of another world. Located in an area that was once […]
