SARDINIA AS A HOLIDAY DESTINATION
Sardinia as a holiday destination Sardinia is not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated Italian island set in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, west of mainland Italy and south of Corsica. With 1800km of coastline, it is renowned for white sandy beaches, fascinating rock formations and sparkling emerald sea. Yet being the second largest Mediterranean island, it has so much more to offer with an interesting history, a wild mountainous interior, vibrant towns with local traditions and warm and friendly people. Sardinia can be reached by just a 2 hour flight from the UK. There are now direct flights from many UK regional airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Bristol, East Midlands, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh and Dublin (see Travel to Sardinia p96). There are 3 airports in Sardinia: Olbia in the north east, Cagliari in the south and Alghero in the north west. Sardinia is an island that allows you to truly experience the very essence of Mediterranean life. The cuisine offers a rich repertoire of dishes, heavily influenced by the country’s various neighbours including Corsica and Italy, accompanied by impressive local wines. The mixing of game and farm produce (traditional with inland towns) and fish and seafood (traditional with coastal towns) result in a combination of flavours and appearance that is unique to Sardinia. Sardinia has something for everyone from the jet set world famous Costa Smeralda, with breathtaking scenery and exclusive hotels, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and azure blue sea. Wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches, vibrant yet uncommercialised towns and villages, a mountainous interior with wonderful views of the island, refreshing lakes and waterfalls, and an interesting history. For example, there are around 7000 ‘Nuraghi’ (mysterious stone dwellings dating back 3,500 years), throughout the island as a permanent reminder of its prehistoric occupation, as well as numerous examples of Roman architecture as a catalogue of their dominance. We love the island, its people and its way of life. Come with us through these pages on a journey through Sardinia. Let us tempt you with sailing and swimming in its turquoise sea. Learn about its 4000 year history, its archaeology and architecture. Discover its traditions and festivals and experience its mouth-watering foods and wines. Share our enthusiasm by spending your next holiday in Sardinia.
“The island is beautiful (especially Baja Sardinia), the hotel excellent, everywhere seems to be child friendly and the beaches and sea are by far the best we have visited in Europe” Mr Busby, Resort Cala di Falco June 2010
Don’t worry if you haven’t been there. We have! All the staff at Just Sardinia have visited Sardinia many times, for both educational visits and for their own holidays. We would be delighted to extend our personal recommendations to you, either before you go or during your holiday from our local staff in Sardinia. These include places to visit, worthwhile excursions and activities to suit your party depending on where you are staying, what you like doing and of course the weather! Some of these can be planned in advance or on arrival – whatever suits you. Please give us a call and we will be more than happy to answer any questions or queries you might have and guide you to a holiday that suits your requirements. You can be sure to speak to somebody who knows Sardinia and has visited the accommodation in which you are interested.
“The real draw here is the beaches. Lapped by translucent blue waters backed by maccia and famed by Mistral-warped granite outcrops, they are among the finest in the Mediterranean.” Oliver Smith, Daily Telegraph

SARDINIA BEACHES
Sardinia Beaches
“More Caribbean than Mediterranean, Sardinia’s beaches are some of the best in Europe” Bridget Stott, Harpers Bazaar
With over 1800km of unspoilt coastline, Sardinia is renowned for beautiful beaches and the clearest translucent azure blue sea in the Mediterranean… Being the second largest island in the Mediterranean, the coastline varies enormously from north to south and east to west. However, wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches to discover, from the famous Costa Smeralda stretching for 55km in the north east, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and Caribbean – like turquoise sea.
“Sardinia has some of the world’s most idyllic beaches. Mile upon mile of pearly – white sands dip into waters of dazzling shades of aquamarine and emerald green. Elsewhere, rugged cliffs plunge into the sea and tiny coves and picturesque harbours beg to be explored. The waters really are swimming-pool-blue – and the sandy coves are often deserted.” ‘Best Beaches in Sardinia’ by Adele Evans, Times Online.
Some of our favourite beaches… North East (p22) Archipelago di Maddalena 7 beautiful islands of which 5 are uninhabited, all surrounded by a national marine park. Valle dell’Erica Secluded coves and the long white sandy beach of La Licciola. Santa Teresa Town beach of Rena Bianca and the Spiaggia dei Due Mari double bay at Capo Testa. Costa Smeralda (p38) Costa Smeralda With more than 80 bays, rocky coves and sandy beaches such as the famous Capriccioli beach, Spiaggia di Principe and Baia Sardinia.
Cala Goloritzè
Central (p55) Cala Gonone Access the dramatic east coast of Sardinia by boat and visit the renowned satellite beaches of Cala Goloritzè, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine, Cala Biriala and Cala Luna. Costa Verde Sardinia’s wildest, most stunningly beautiful beaches south of Oristano on the west coast. South (p63) Chia Famous for its fabulous beach, with a forest of Juniper trees and sand dunes as a backdrop to the beautiful white sands found here. Costa del Sud Stretching 20km west from Capo Spartivento to Porto Teulada with a corner of paradise to be found at Tuerredda.
Archipelago di Maddalena
Cagliari Popular with the locals, Poetto Beach is just 5km from the city and stretches for 11km. Villasimius Double bay with the wide, sandy Spiaggia del Simius on the eastern side, flanked by lagoon with pink flamingos, and Spiaggia del Riso on the other side. Costa Rei Beautiful 8km white sandy beach and along the 30km scenic coastal road to Villasimius, Cala Pira, Cala Sinzias and Cala Marina. Alghero (p83) Alghero – Fertilia 5km Lido beach and Spiaggia di Bombarde and Lazzeretto near Porto Conte.

SCENIC SARDINIA
Scenic Sardinia
“Olive groves and vineyards on one side and the rugged coastline on the other, whipped by the boisterous maestral wind that whittles it into curious formations like the famous bear that gives the enchanting Capo d’Orso its name.” Emily Heward, The Halifax Courier
History & Culture
Scenic Train
Sardinia has so much to offer visitors, all the year round, whether you wish to relax or sightsee, whatever the weather! Sardinia has it all...
Sardinia has an ancient history for you to discover with Roman ruins and Nuraghi (mysterious stone dwellings or fortresses dating back 3,500 years), found throughout the island as a permanent reminder of its prehistoric occupation. There are numerous examples of Roman architecture as a catalogue of their dominance, ancient villages with a varied history to explore and archaeological sites to visit. Alghero is enriched with both Catalan and Roman history with its old walled town, cobbled streets and ramparts with lookout towers, containing a wealth of architectural interest. Barumini has the formidable Su Nuraxi complex and the Giara di Gesturi nearby has more Nuraghi to discover along with herds of semiwild ponies. Bitti in the Barbagia region practices local ancient traditions pursued by craftsmen and sheep farmers. Cagliari, Sardinia’s capital city in the south, was founded by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians and is home to Sardinia’s National Archaeology Museum. The town displays medieval architecture and monuments tracing the islands history from its beginnings to modern day. Codrongianos is in the heart of an area of archaeological interest just outside Sassari and makes an ideal base for visiting Basilicas and typical ruins. Nora is considered to be one of the best examples in Sardinia of an ancient Roman provincial city. Oristano and its province also contains remarkable centres of historical interest including Tharros ancient Phoenician & Roman city, Fordongianus Roman baths, Santa Cristina sacred well and Nuraghe Losa.
There are also many equestrian events such as Sa Sartiglia Carnival in Oristano in February and L’Ardia Horse Race in Sedilo in July. For a calendar of events, please visit www.justsardinia.co.uk.
Towns & Villages, Shops & Markets A wealth of shopping awaits you throughout the island ranging from the chic designer boutiques in Porto Cervo to traditional handicrafts, arts and crafts, ceramics, embroidered linen, cork and coral products to be found in all the villages and towns. Weekly markets, offering local produce and traditional wares, take place in most large towns throughout the year. Alghero particularly has an excellent range of shops, including designer boutiques, department store, daily fruit and flower markets and weekly antiques stalls. Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, similarly offers excellent shopping with elegant boutiques and jewellers, museums, art galleries and monuments tracing the island’s history. Generally the shops are open from 9am to 1pm and 4pm to 8pm Monday to Saturday. Supermarkets are found in most large towns with a good range of products but remember this is Italy, not the UK!
Mountains The contrasting mountainous interior has far reaching views of the island from the summits of Monte Limbara in the north, from Punta La Marmora in the Gennargentu mountains south of Nuoro in the east, and from the Sarrabus mountains just north of Cagliari in the south. There are lakes, waterfalls, gorges, fascinating geology and the native flora and fauna to discover.
Festivals Throughout the island and throughout the year there are numerous festivals which provide a good opportunity to see traditional costumes and local handicrafts, hear local music with singing and dancing, and taste local produce at typical Sardinian food stalls. Sardinian festivals are usually religious in origin, but others celebrate annual events such as the harvest. There are also many gastronomic events as local products come into season, such as the artichoke festival in Uri in March and the Cherries festival in Nuoro in June.
Fascinating Rock Formations Created by wind erosion there are some incredible rock formations throughout the island. Look out for the Bear Rock at Capo d’Orso, the Valley of the Moon at Capo Testa on the northern tip of the island and the Arco dell’Angelo just north of Cagliari in the south.
Stunning Coastal Drives There are scenic drives with breathtaking views out to the Sardinian islands and Corsica, along the Costa Smeralda and from Villasimius to Costa Rei to name but a few.
8
‘Il Trenino Verde’ (The Little Green Train) railway provides a different way to see the interior of Sardinia. There are 3 narrow gauge scenic routes from Palau to Tempio in the north, Bosa to Macomer in the centre and Arbatax to Mandas in the east. The trains travel through areas where the natural surroundings are still unspoilt, crossing forests, skirting lakes and coastlines and passing by ancient monuments.
Vineyards For tours and wine tasting, Sella & Mosca in Alghero is one of the largest vineyards in Europe with an excellent repertoire of wines. Also Oliena, situated in the mountainous eastern Barbagia region, is held in high esteem by the mainland Italians for its heady, fruity Cannonau wines. In the south, Dolinova vineyard north of Cagliari produces sweet Muscatel wines and north of Oristano the villages around Zeddiani is the core of the Vernaccia wine producing region.
Walking & Trekking Both the coastline and the mountainous interior of Sardinia offer great possibilities for hiking, trekking and walking such as • Walking in the hills behind Alghero for lunch with the shepherds • Coastal paths from Santa Teresa to Capo Testa lighthouse to experience the amazing rock formations carved by the wind and views to Corsica • The Gennargentu and Supramonte mountain ranges offer adventurous trekking to explore ravines and cliffs, grottoes and canyons, prehistoric tombs and Nuraghi. For a thrilling trip through the natural beauty spots and history of north western Sardinia, see Cycling & Walking in Sardinia (p11).
Bird Watching There are numerous possibilities: On the island of Caprera in the north the peregrine falcon, tufted cormorant and some rare gulls can be spotted; On the north west coast between Bosa and Capo Caccia near Alghero, you may be lucky to see the rare bearded or griffon vultures; In Oristano in the west, the lagoons attracts thousands of pink flamingos in the autumn and is a haven for the purple heron, coot, shelduck, buzzard and feathered tamarisk; On the south western tip of the island you will find heron, cormorant, purple moorhen and peregrine falcon and in the mountains behind, partridge and wild duck.
For reservations contact us on 01202 484858 or email holidays@justsardinia.co.uk
Enjoy a short break or longer holiday in the peace and quiet of the Sardinian countryside. Sardinia, being relatively unspoilt and a large Mediterranean island, has a huge interior made up of some rugged mountainous landscapes and surrounding natural countryside. Just Sardinia offer a selection of countryside hotels, agriturismi, villas and apartments in order to experience a relaxing holiday away from the bustle of the towns and coastal resorts, yet within easy reach by car of the beautiful beaches for which Sardinia is renowned. Whether you are looking for a small personal hotel in which to unwind, or a farm with traditional cooking and horse riding, or a villa where you and your family can get away from it all, hopefully you will find what you are looking for from our personally chosen collection suitable for all tastes and budgets. Most of the hotels can offer any day arrival, any length of stay (subject to availability) for short breaks, tours or longer holidays.

There are horseback riding centres and horse trekking offered from the hotels in this area (see p62) to experience riding on the beach, in the pine groves or in the mountains.

Marine life abounds and there are many dive schools (some operating from some of our hotels) offering taster sessions for beginners, courses for those wishing to gain their PADI dive qualification and dive trips for qualified divers.
Golf Some spectacular courses are to be found in Sardinia to experience the contrast of the lush green fairways against the bright blue sky whilst enjoying superb sea views: Il Pevero Golf Club (North East) on the Costa Smeralda can be described as one of the world’s most beautiful golf courses with sweeping sea and coastal views. Is Molas Golf Course (South West) near Santa Margherita di Pula has unique views of the Roman ruins of Nora and turquoise bay, coupled with impeccably kept lawns offering an unforgettable golfing experience.

Horse Riding There are some beautiful bridleways along the coast, with the opportunity of riding on the beach and in the Sardinian countryside to enjoy the spectacular scenery. Some of our hotels in the north have their own riding schools and in the south horse riding can be arranged from some hotels too. Around Oristano horse trekking is popular to experience riding on the beach, in the pine groves and in the mountains and can be organised from the hotels in this area.

The region of Oristano is situated in the centre of the Campidano Oristanese vast plain, on the central west coast of Sardinia. There is a local airport with internal flights from mainland Italy. For a modest sized territory it offers a great variety of landscapes, from sandy beaches to basalt high plains and the steep precipices of Montiferru. Geologically the territory is the result of considerable historic volcanic activity and erosion but Oristano and its province also contains remarkable centres of historical interest. The region has a varied tradition of fine foods and wines grown in the rich fertile pastures resulting in strong and unmistakable flavours. Due to its geographical position close to River Tirso, the sea and various marshes, Oristano’s cuisine is mainly fish based with many local and regional specialities. The town of Oristano has been described as one of Sardinia’s most colourful towns with an interesting history reflected byGolfo its architecture and gothic cathedral. The coast boasts stretchesdi of Palmas fine sandy beaches and many ‘Torre’, old lookout watch towers from the 15th century and the old Roman town of Tharros. Oristano is Cape Teulada also flanked by a series of lagoons populated by a wealth of wildlife, birds and thousands of pink flamingos in the autumn. The wonders of the Oristano region include the dramatic coastline, the natural countryside, the rugged mountains and Tirso and Temo rivers, the only navigable rivers in Sardinia. The weather, typically Mediterranean, assures a mild temperature all year long and allows olive trees, citrus fruits and vineyards to flourish. Sports lovers can choose from a great variety of activities, also favoured by the climate, including: Watersports found on the beautiful beaches such as Is Arutas, Putzu Idu, Mari Ermi and Sa Rocca; Diving and snorkelling around the protected marine area and Mal di Ventre Island Fishing in the lake of Omodeo, in the rivers and in the sea Horse riding, Oristano is called ‘the land of the horse’, with riding schools and horse events taking place throughout the province including the famous Sa Sartiglia Carnival in Oristano (6 – 8th March 2011) Bird watching in this area of Sardinia has a haven of interest including the wild kingdom of the griffon vulture just north of Bosa and the lagoons around Oristano are a natural oasis for flocks of pink flamingos Hiking and biking are also popular pursuits to tour the local area, with guides available.
Tharros Serious excavations began in 1956 to uncover this most prosperous of west coast Phoenician port cities, founded around 730 BC. Tharros’ archaeological site reveals the later Roman city: a street of shops and taverns, a temple with two of its Corinthian columns restored, a monumental water cistern and public baths transformed by the early Christians into a basilica. Forum Traiani Thermae Costa Rei
Forum Traiani (Fordongianus) was a Roman spa town 28km from Oristano. A number of thermal buildings dating back to the period CAGLIARI of Roman domination, have recently been brought to life including Villasimius gliari Ypsitanae). The Terme a very interesting thermal-complex o di Ca(Aquae Capo Carbonara G ol f Romane has sulphurous steaming water gushing into the river at a temperature of 54 degrees centigrade. The Bagni Termali Pula are 19th century bath houses and Terme Sardegna is a modern Teulada Margherita di Pula thermal complexS.where you can sample a range of treatments from massage to mud packs. Chia Cost Cristina Santa a del Sud About 25km north of Oristano, the nuraghic complex of Santa Cristina is set among olive trees comprising a nuraghe, sacred well and other nuraghic buildings, some dating back to 1800 BC. The most impressive part is the sacred well and underground shrine.
Nuraghe Losa Around the 15th century BC, the Nuraghi civilisation began to spread with truncated cone structures intended to defend the villages called ‘Nuraghi’. The greatest examples are situated inland and include Losa of Abbasanta (about 30km north east of Oristano). This great black basalt tower, more than 3,500 years old, is one of the island’s major bronze age monuments. Though it may have originally been a mausoleum, Losa meaning tomb in Sardinian dialect, the Phoenicians, Romans and perhaps Byzantines took it over as a fortress.

Steeped in history with a very ‘olde worlde’ charm, the position of this hotel provides stunning sea views from most of its rooms and certainly from the dining room. I would recommend bed & breakfast in order to sample the local restaurants, but do have dinner in the hotel during your stay, reserving a window table, to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the bay. The hotel would suit couples who are looking for something special, either for a weekend spa break or longer holiday.

TRAVEL TO SARDINIA
Travel to Sardinia
Travelling to and from Sardinia and getting around the island made easy by your Sardinia specialist.
Travel to Sardinia by Air Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, lying west of the Italian mainland and south of France and Corsica, yet it can be reached by a mere 2 hour flight from the UK. For 2011 there are a choice of airlines flying direct to Sardinia on various days of the week and from many regional airports within the UK to all 3 airports in Sardinia: Alghero (north west), Olbia (north east) and Cagliari (south). For advice on the best route or alternative non-direct flights please call our Reservations Team on 01202 484858
AIRPORT LOUNGES Airport lounges are not just for business class passengers. From £16.00 per person you can relax in first class comfort in a lounge and escape the hustle and bustle of the airport terminal for up to 3 hours before your flight. Airport lounges provide up to date flight information, daily newspapers and internet access. All drinks and snacks (excluding champagne) are included in the entry price.
Just Sardinia has linked with Holiday Extras, the UK’s leading supplier of airport hotels, car parking, airport lounges and travel insurance which can all be booked on our website.
AIRPORT PARKING You can save yourself a lot of trouble and expense by pre-booking your airport car parking. Holiday Extras & Just Sardinia can find you the best airport parking prices whilst our easy to use booking system will save you time and effort.
TRAVEL INSURANCE We strongly recommend that you and all the members of your travelling party are adequately insured with travel and medical cover as soon as you book your holiday, to ensure your holiday is also covered in case of cancellation.
AIRPORT HOTELS An airport hotel stop-over is the perfect way to begin a holiday enabling you to arrive at the airport relaxed and ready for travelling. We offer UK airport hotels with or without car parking. Often an airport hotel stay with parking can work out cheaper than airport parking alone!
Please visit www.justsardinia.co.uk for further information on how to book these services or call our Reservations Team on 01202 484858.

Complaints
Just Sardinia Welcome Pack – provided at all our villa accommodation, which includes a few necessities for your arrival. Supermarkets – are found in all towns and are open generally 9am – 1pm and 4pm-8pm Monday to Saturday. Remember that they will be closed at siesta time, generally 1pm – 4pm and all day Sunday. Bigger supermarkets with a greater range of products are found in larger towns, some open all day and on Sunday in the height of the summer season. Sardinia has a wide range of local produce but please remember it is Italy, not the UK! Large towns also have a weekly market offering locally grown and produced fruit, vegetables, cheese and meats – please ask your Rep for days and times. Villas & Apartments – have a minimum of a fridge, hob, sink, storage, crockery and utensils but some will not have kettles, toasters, microwaves or ovens (please ask our Reservations Team for details). We suggest that you take with you some basic items such as a tea towel, dishcloth, salt and pepper, washing-up liquid and possibly a travel kettle. Cleaning & Linen – changed generally weekly. If you require further cleaning or linen and towels, this can be arranged for an extra charge. Please discuss this and book with our Reservations Team before your holiday if required. Cala di Falco & Torreruja Villas – please note that for a 1 week holiday the villas will have been cleaned and made up for your arrival, the towels will be replaced mid week (normally Wednesday) and a final clean will be done on your departure. For a 2 week holiday the villa will have been cleaned and made up for your arrival, towels replaced mid week, sheets and towels replaced and the villa cleaned on the Saturday or Sunday, towels replaced again mid second week and a final clean done on your departure. This is included in the price of your holiday. An extra linen change and cleaning can be arranged at 60 euros per clean and must be booked in advanced but paid locally.
Our resort staff have been chosen for their wealth of local knowledge, expertise and love of the island. A Just Sardinia rep will make contact with you on your arrival in Sardinia either by meeting you at the airport or by text or by telephone. On arrival at the airport, make your way through to the Arrivals Hall and if you have transfers arranged a transfer driver will be there to meet you and will assist with your transfer arrangements to your accommodation. If you have hired a car, please make your way to the Car Hire desk there the agent will assist you with the collection of your vehicle.
In the unlikely event of dissatisfaction with an element of your holiday, we would stress to you to let the Just Sardinia rep or reception know about it so that we can rectify the situation as soon as possible. It is much better to solve any issues during your holiday than to wait until you return home. (Please see Terms & Conditions on p100 for Complaints Procedure.)
Your reps mobile telephone number and an emergency contact number will be given to you in your pre departure email, by text on arrival in Sardinia and will also be in your accommodation information file and are contactable at any time during your stay in Sardinia. They can assist you with information about your accommodation, resort, local area and can recommend places to visit, boat trips, activities, excursions and restaurants depending on your own requirements and interests. Our reps are there to help and ensure that you have the best possible holiday but in the unlikely event that something is not to your satisfaction then please inform them as soon as possible and they will do their best to resolve the situation.

Your Financial Protection The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from the website & brochure. We provide this security by way of an ATOL for holidays that include a flight in the package (number 10217) administered by the Civil Aviation Authority and a bond held by ABTA for holidays that do not included flight in the package (number W6775).
ATOL Protection
When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package from Hargreaves & Nurse Ltd T/a Just Sardinia you will receive a Confirmation Invoice from us or via our authorised agent through which you booked confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 10217. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of our air holiday packages includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices.
ABTA
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W6775. The monies you pay to us for your holiday which does not included a flight ie accommodation, car hire and/or transfer are protected by way of a bond held by ABTA and provided by Travel & General. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. Further information on the Code and Arbitration can be found at www.abta.com.
Your Contract Your contract is made on the terms of these conditions, which are governed by English Law and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may, however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. A contract will be made when you or your travel agent call, email or fax our sales office to make a booking, and we reserve all the elements of your holiday and confirm the booking to you (verbally, in person, on the telephone, online or in writing). A booking reference number will be given to you at this time. By asking us to confirm your holiday booking you are accepting the terms of this agreement and consent to us processing personal information about you and other members of your party (see Data Protection). Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions. You will be required to pay a deposit of £120 for each person (including infants) when you book. Please note your booking deposit maybe increased or there may be a charge payable for some accommodation or flight bookings where it is necessary to secure specific facilities with full payment at time of booking eg specific types of airline tickets. The balance must be paid at least 8 weeks before departure otherwise the booking may be cancelled by us and you will be liable for cancellation charges as stated below. Any monies paid by you to a travel agent in respect of the confirmed booking are held on behalf of us. On receipt of our confirmation invoice, it is important that you check all details are correct, including the spelling of all names, and if they are not correct you must contact your travel agent or us immediately. Any changes must be brought to our attention before your ticket wallet is issued (usually 2/3 weeks before departure) or you will be liable for any costs incurred for the re-issuing of tickets and travel documents. Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.
Brochure And Website Validity Prices in this brochure and on the website are valid only for holidays which depart and return before 31st December 2011.
Your Holiday Price Prices included in the brochure and website are in UK pounds sterling and were calculated using an exchange rate of 1.1 euros to £1 on 1st October 2010, however, we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. We will be able to tell you the upto-date price of your holiday and of any other services advertised in this brochure and website before your contract is confirmed. We reserve the right to increase the price of your holiday after you have booked but no later than 30 days before the departure date stipulated and we will forward a revised invoice reflecting any changes made.
100
The price of your travel arrangements can be varied due to: Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.
If We Change Or Cancel Your Holiday We aim to provide the holiday as planned but as arrangements are made well in advance, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. Most changes are of a small nature and you will be advised as soon as possible, provided there is time, before your departure. We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements. For example if the minimum number of clients for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 8 weeks before your departure date, except for the reasons outlined in Important Note – Events Beyond Our Control. Occasionally we have to make major changes to your flight, hire car, transfer or accommodation. If we tell you about any of these changes after we have confirmed your booking you will have a choice of the following: 1) Accepting the new arrangements offered by us. 2) Accepting a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or closely similar standard and price. 3) Cancelling the holiday and receiving a full refund. We will also pay to passengers, who have paid the full brochure or website price, compensation as follows, unless the change is for reasons beyond our control (see Important Note). In accordance with EU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer. We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used as follows: Monarch, British Airways, Titan Airways, Ryanair, EasyJet, BMI, Jet2 and Thomson Fly. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding gate. Such a change is deemed to be a minor change. Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard.
Major Changes We consider a ‘major’ change as one involving a change or substitution of accommodation to a lower grade than stated in our website or brochure (whether star rating or our own vine rating), a change of UK departure airport (except between London airports Heathrow, Gatwick, City Airport Luton and Stansted), a change in the time of your departure or return flight by more than 12 hours (but not a flight delay as this is covered under insurance). These changes are only examples and there may be other significant changes which constitute major changes. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights Period before departure when Compensation payable per a major change is notified full fare paying passenger
More than 56 days 55 – 29 days 28 – 7 days Less than 7 days
Nil £10 £15 £25 Child pro-rata
Important Note – Events Beyond Our Control The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. Force Majeure: We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport.
If You Wish To Change Your Booking If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements (e.g. Flight Tickets) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. If all names change on any booking, then cancellation charges will apply. Any alterations made within 8 weeks of departure may be treated as cancellations and rebookings. Please note: Once you have booked your own flight, a change of name and/or departure details are not always permitted by airlines.
If You Wish To Cancel Your Booking Cancellations must be notified in writing and the following charges will apply from the date of receipt by us: No. of days before departure Cancellation Charge
Over 56 55 – 29 28 – 22 21 – 8 7–0
Loss of deposit 50% 75% 90% 100%
Please note: When booking your own flight some airlines will apply a 100% cancellation charge from the time of booking. This will be advised by the airline at the time of cancellation. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.
Complaints If something is not satisfactory during your holiday, you must report it to the Just Sardinia Resort Representative, who will do everything they can to resolve the problem as soon as possible. We would prefer to solve the problem locally but if this is not possible, you should complete and sign a Resort Report Form supplied by our resort staff, outlining the details of the problem. Please give this form to our Representative who will give you a copy, which you must provide with any correspondence sent to us in the UK. If the matter cannot be resolved while you are on holiday, please write to us within 28 days of your return to allow the matter to be investigated properly. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. If a complaint cannot be settled between us you may, if you wish, refer the matter to arbitration under a special scheme arranged with ABTA which is administered independently by IDRS, part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. It provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within twelve months of the date of return from holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA/IDRS Mediation procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
Our Liability To You If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of twice the invoice total. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: a) The contractual terms of the companies that provides the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and

Prompt Assistance In Resort If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.
Anti-Social Behaviour When you book accommodation through us, you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of all members of your party during your stay. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the stay of any party member(s) whose behaviour is such, in the reasonable opinion of the accommodation provider or us, as to cause or to be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to anyone else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges will then apply and no refund will be given. Furthermore, we shall be under no obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodation) you may occur as a result of your stay being terminated. If you cause damage to the accommodation in which you are staying, you must fully reimburse the accommodation provider concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your stay if the cost has been established by then or as soon as it has been established if later. You must also indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the accommodation provider or any third party as a result. This will also apply if, in the opinion of the transport carrier, you appear unfit to travel or are likely to cause disturbance or danger to other passengers.
The Conditions Of Your Ticket When you travel by air or by sea, your journey maybe subject to certain international conventions such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention or Athens Convention. You agree that the transport company’s own Conditions of Carriage will apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions.

Health And Safety
Your well being whilst on holiday is of prime importance to us and we will do our best to ensure your holiday is safe and trouble free by working with our service providers to improve standards. It is, however, important to remember that standards abroad are not always the same as those we would expect at home and so we do ask you to take care while you are away. We strongly urge you to follow the safety guidelines detailed in our documentation plus any extra information afforded by individual service providers. All properties we offer receive a regular inspection as well as ongoing reviews throughout the season. Fire Safety: Always familiarise yourself with the fire exit routes and fire safety equipment on arrival at your accommodation. Personal Safety: Use common sense and take the same care for your safety and belongings as you would do at home. Most resorts are generally safe but you are advised not to walk alone at night in unlit areas or obviously display valuables. We recommend the use of safety deposit facilities at your accommodation (there may be a small charge for this). Please take notice of advice given by our Representatives about local conditions. For Guidance and Information: Please check with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Tel 0845 850 2829 or visit their website at www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo Health and Hygiene: You should take care to minimise the risk of holiday illness while you are away and should take advice about your specific needs before you go. We recommend that you obtain a valid EHIC (formerly E111) from your Post Office or telephone 0845 606 2030 or visit www.ehic.org.uk. Please note the EHIC form DOES NOT REPLACE THE NEED FOR VALID TRAVEL INSURANCE.
Special Requests/Needs
Some of our customers have special needs. If this is the case, please let us know in advance about any disability and our Reservations Team will be happy to help you with any special arrangements needed. Facilities for customers with special needs will vary eg different types of accommodation.

For special requests (eg low floor, special meals etc), please consult us or your travel agent when you confirm your holiday booking.

Over the years, many Just Sardinia customers have asked us “Do you feature any other destinations”? In 2009 we started to look for an island that would complement Sardinia and we fell in love with the Caribbean ‘Spice Isle’ Grenada – a destination that we feel will suit our Sardinia customers, with a great selection of accommodation, amazing powder white sandy beaches, stunning scenery and warm, welcoming locals.
