It only takes about an hour to drive from Cagliari to another not very well known but beautiful spot of Sardinia: the peninsula of Sinis, located in the Oristano Gulf on the west coast.

Last time I have been there I have visited one of the most fascinating archaeological and panoramic sites of Sardinia, Tharros. This was a Punic, Phoenician and then roman city located on […] Continue Reading…

Since I was a teenager Alghero was one of the top favourite places to go for my summer holidays, main reasons being its fabulous night life, good camping sites and lots of nice beaches nearby…(Le Bombarde was my favourite one).

But now that I am older and wiser…I like it even more. It is indeed a lovely town that has got so much to offer to people of all ages, […] Continue Reading…

Which is the best part of Sardinia Manuela?

I have been asked this question so many times and here is my answer for you: Sardinia is all beautiful from north to south. Where you go depends on what you are looking for, but if you are looking for the unusual and the most authentic side of Sardinia, then you have to aim for its rocky heart.

From the villages of Oliena […] Continue Reading…

How many times we hired a car in Sardinia and drove from Cagliari to Villasimius Luca? Many..but many times we did not even reach it..

There are too many others beautiful places in between.. the journey in itself is spectacular if you can relax and enjoy the views. ..as I normally do. Off course, if you are driving, you must focus on the many narrow bends up and down […] Continue Reading…

Last summer, for the first time, we hired a boat and went sailing.

As usual, at the end of this post some useful info and a link for driving directions, but now I would like to begin from the end of the story: at the end of our sailing weekend, my sister and her boyfriend, who is an experienced sailorman, asked me if everything was all right, it didn’t look […] Continue Reading…

Canoeing in Nora’s lagoon is certainly one of those experiences that I will never forget and I will surely repeat..
It is such a relaxing feeling to visit the lagoon, especially first in the morning, when the waters are so calm, smooth and still fresh. It is so peaceful that you can only hear little crickets and birds singing, few fishes jumping and the noise of the oars sinking in […] Continue Reading…

In Cagliari there is a very characteristic market. The part that I prefer is the fish market, with its kiosks and fishermen screaming to attract my attention and to promote their products. But the real reason why I like it, is because without even thinking, I know that it is probably the most alive and authentic spot of Cagliari. You can feel it. All my senses tell me that […] Continue Reading…

When I come back from Sardinia I always bring back some Mirto liquor.

Once I was invited at a friend house here in London and brought a bottle. We had dinner and start drinking it after the coffee. It was really nice and cold, so my friend drank quite a lot of it. He did not show up the morning after at work, and few days later he told me […] Continue Reading…

Hi everybody, I would like to introduce a small paradise in Cagliari. Some pictures:

The area called Cala Mosca has few beaches, still has the fine white sand that use to be in all Poetto (Cagliari’s beach). Cala Mosca was never busy in the past, mostly due to the Military Bases that were just there, so the area was partly off limit. Another reason was the “popular “neighborhood nearby […] Continue Reading…
