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, Luton, Bristol, East Midlands, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh and Dublin (see Travel to Sardinia p100). 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.
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 region is tranquil and does not appear to have been invaded by the influx of tourists you might find elsewhere in Italy.” Suzan Uzel, Cambridge Style Magazine
“The best holiday we have been on, without a doubt. We will return to Sardinia and only with yourselves. Thoroughly impressed with Just Sardinia, thank you for giving us a holiday to remember! We had the best time ever.” Mrs Edwards, Hotel Relax Torreruja Thalasso & Spa Sept 2011

SARDINIA BEACHES
Sardinia Beaches
“Sparkling emerald sea, swaying palm trees and beautiful secluded sandy beaches that wind around craggy coves as far as the eye can see.” Eileen Leahy, Daily Express
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.

SCENIC SARDINIA
Scenic Sardinia
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...
History & Culture
Mountains
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.
The contrasting mountainous interior has far reaching views of the island from the summits of Monte Limbara in the north, 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.
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.
Created by wind erosion, there are some incredible rock formations throughout the island. Look out for the Bear Rock at Capo d’Orso in the north east, 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.
Barumini has the formidable Su Nuraxi complex and the Giara di Gesturi nearby has more Nuraghi to discover along with herds of semi-wild ponies.
Stunning Coastal Drives
Bitti in the Barbagia region practices local ancient traditions pursued by craftsmen and sheep farmers.
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.
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 island’s history from its beginnings to modern day.
Scenic Train
Oristano and its province also contains remarkable centres of historical interest including Tharros, an ancient Phoenician & Roman city, Fordongianus Roman baths, Santa Cristina sacred well and Nuraghe Losa.
‘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.
Festivals
Vineyards
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.
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 Cherry Festival in Nuoro in June. 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/events
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, a 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 9.00am to 1.00pm and 4.00pm to 8.00pm Monday to Saturday. Supermarkets are found in most large towns with a good range of products but remember this is Italy, not the UK!
8
Fascinating Rock Formations
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. See our Wine Tour (p15).
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 east 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 attract 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, a farm with traditional cooking and horse riding, or a villa where you and your family can get away from it all, 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.
“For adventurous types, the interior offers wild and rugged terrain and a National Park, with mountain peaks, rivers and waterfalls and rich chances for adventure sports such as trekking and canoeing.” Alex James, ABTA Magazine

Sardinian cookery is bursting with intense, fruity and aromatic flavours and offers a rich repertoire of dishes for a memorable culinary experience.
Traditional Sardinian cuisine has the taste of the island itself, with fish from the sea, herbs from the mountains and fruit and vegetables ripened in the warm Mediterranean sunshine. Seafood and wild game give strength and distinction to meals with different breads and local wines being the essential basics.
TASTE SARDINIA

“Sardinians take food very seriously. Wine is produced locally, everything you eat is grown pretty much on your doorstep.” Lucy Cavendish, BA High Life Magazine
Dining Out
In Sardinia there are a wide range of dining options for you to enjoy during your stay on the island. For eating out, there is a huge choice from cheap and cheerful pizzerias to sophisticated restaurants for fine dining, with excellent local cuisine often featuring fresh fish and seafood as a speciality.
Hotel Dining Our customers frequently ask us about flexibility within half board and full board options offered by our featured hotels. We can now offer the following alternatives to add value and variety to your holiday.
Brunch Around Option (Full Board only) Hotel Marinedda, Hotel Torreruja, Resort & Spa Le Dune, Park Hotel Cala di Lepre, Resort Valle dell’Erica (supplement) and Resort Cala di Falco: Guests on full board (half board and brunch) at any of these hotels are invited to eat brunch at any of the other hotels listed above, at no extra cost, as many times as they wish during their stay.
There are many agriturismo (farm) restaurants that usually serve a set menu of local Sardinian dishes including pane carasau (paper thin bread baked with olive oil and rosemary) Sardo ham, sausage and Pecorino cheese, home made pasta such as ricotta and spinach ravioli, farm reared suckling pig (porcheddu) roasted with garlic and rosemary potatoes and followed by traditional seadas (pancake) with orange flavoured honey, accompanied, of course, by a jug of local wine. Make sure you try a glass of Mirto or Limoncello – the local digestivo!
Dining Out with Children
Sardinia is very family orientated and children are welcome in most restaurants. Although they rarely have a children’s menu, they will adapt portions and there is usually something that suits everyone. Please bear in mind that like the rest of Italy most restaurants make a cover charge and generally open at 7.00pm.
Dinner for Lunch Exchange Hotel Relais Villa del Golfo, Resort Cala di Falco, Park Hotel Cala di Lepre, Resort Valle dell’Erica, Cervo Hotel, Hotel Petra Bianca, Hotel L’Ea Bianca, Club Hotel Baia Sardinia, Hotel Abi d’Oru, Hotel Gabbiano Azzurro, Hotel Torreruja, Hotel Marinedda, Su Gologone Country Resort, Hotel Costa Dorada, Hotel Stella Maris (high season) and Hotel La Playa: Just Sardinia has collaborated with the above hotels to arrange a ‘Dinner for Lunch’ exchange. This enables guests with half board accommodation at any of the above hotels to have lunch instead of dinner as many times as they wish during their stay. This offers guests greater flexibility and the opportunity to sample the local restaurants and Sardinian cuisine.
Please note: The options on this page are subject to availability and any changes are made at the discretion of the management at the time of booking your meal exchange. Car hire is required (extra cost). With so many wonderful gastronomic delights available on this beautiful island, we hope that these arrangements will enable our guests to really savour the flavour of Sardinia!

Tenuta Pilastru provides a perfect base in the heart of the beautiful Sardinian countryside for a holiday as active or relaxing as you want it to be.

VINE RATING (See p5)
New to Just Sardinia, the Hotel Don Diego has recently been refurbished to now provide attractive accommodation along with excellent service. It will suit both families and couples looking for a character hotel in a quiet location. I would highly recommend upgrading to a Junior Suite as the sea views are part of the hotels appeal and hiring a car due to its secluded location.
The Standard rooms are located along the path leading to the hotel and are comfortable, functional and have a small terrace. The Standard Seaside rooms are close to the beach but do not have sea views. The Junior Suites have an open plan bedroom/lounge area and the Family rooms have a bedroom and separate living room, both having a furnished terrace enjoying stunning sea views.

Pula
Cagliari, situated on the central south coast of the island, is Sardinia’s capital city and centre for commerce and industry. With its international airport, it provides a gateway to the beautiful, relatively unspoilt, southern coastline and is flanked by several up and coming beach resorts. The city is characterised by colourful medieval architecture, central Castello and atmospheric port with ‘passeggiata’. There are interesting streets lined with shops and restaurants, the National Archaeological Museum, art galleries and monuments tracing the island’s history.
Pula is a charming colourful town in south west Sardinia with a selection of shops, restaurants, gelaterias and café bars. The ancient archaeological ruins on the coast at Nora are nearby, considered one of the best examples in Sardinia of an ancient Roman provincial city, with temples, baths and mosaic floors clearly visible. The nearest beach is at Nora, there is golf at Is Molas 9/18 hole course, and there is a natural marine shelter and sea turtle rescue centre at Nora Lagoon.
Chia Chia is a small village surrounded by fig groves, once protected against pirate raids by the Torre di Chia, an ancient stone watchtower. On the other side of the tower is the fabulous Chia beach, with a forest of Juniper trees and sand dunes as a backdrop to the beautiful white sands found here. The Is Molas golf course is nearby and Chia itself has a pitch and putt course. Inland are the caves of the Grotta de S’acqua Salia and the Grotta Is Zuddas, only recently discovered.
Costa del Sud The Costa del Sud stretches west from the southern tip of Capo Spartivento with a 20km scenic coastal drive to Porto Teulada. Golfo di Teulada has indented bays with Spanish watchtowers with swimming possible from the rocks or small stretches of sand.

This area is renowned for some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches in Italy and the electric aquamarine coloured sea. The landscape is set off by rolling hills covered with aromatic green Mediterranean vegetation and dramatic granite cliffs, an area which is mainly undeveloped.
Santa Margherita di Pula Santa Margherita di Pula is situated between Pula and Chia, on a long stretch of coast fringed by pine groves and sheltered by a line of mountains, predominantly undeveloped. It is approximately 10km from the charming town of Pula and the Is Molas golf course is a similar distance. The locality offers a wide range of activities including watersports from Nora and Chia beaches, sightseeing at Nora with ancient Roman ruins and for interest the natural marine shelter and sea turtle rescue centre at Nora Lagoon.
Teulada The small town of Teulada is about 4km inland from the Costa del Sud and has a variety of shops, supermarket, pizzeria, restaurants and café bars. There are sculptures dotted around the streets for an annual exhibition from June to September when sculptors visit the town from all over the world to create from local marble or granite. The town is known for its handicrafts including embroidery, tapestry, cork and terracotta pipes.
Villasimius Villasimius is situated on the beautiful south eastern tip of Sardinia with stunning white sandy beaches and electric blue sea. The headland of Capo Carbonara has a harbour, an old fortress and there is a double bay with fine white sand on one side and granulated sand on the other.

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 2012 there are a choice of airlines flying direct to Sardinia on various days of the week and many from 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 £15pp 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 and airport lounges, which can all be booked online.
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 - you will 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/holidayextras for further information and to book these services or call our Reservations Team on 01202 484858.

When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. A contract will exist as soon as 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 maybe 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 2012.
Your holiDaY pricE Prices included in the brochure and website are in UK pounds sterling and were calculated using an exchange rate of 1.13 Euros to £1 on 1st October 2011, however, we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. We will be able to tell you the up-to-date price of your holiday and 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. 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 packagE holidays
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, car hire, 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, compensation below, 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: British Airways, Titan Airways, Ryanair, EasyJet, BMI, Jet 2 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 maybe other significant changes which constitute major changes. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights. Period before departure when a major change is notified More than 56 days 55 - 29 days 28 - 7 days Less than 7 days
Compensation payable per passenger 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, pandemics and unavoidable technical problems with transport.
accoMModation only
We reserve the right to change or cancel your booking. Subject to the note below, if we make a change and you don’t want to accept it, you can take any alternative accommodation we are able to offer you (you will pay the increase in cost if the replacement is advertised at a higher price than your original booking, or receive a refund of the difference if it is less expensive) or a refund of the money you’ve paid to us. This does not apply where the change is not material. Examples of non-material changes include, but are not limited to, temporary withdrawal of facilities or seasonal unavailability of amenities.
For reservations contact us on 01202 484858 or email holidays@justsardinia.co.uk
Subject to the note below, if we have to cancel, again we may be able to offer you an alternative. If you accept it, you would pay the difference if it was advertised at a higher price than your original accommodation, or receive a refund of the difference if it was advertised at a lower price. Or we will refund the monies you have paid us for your accommodation. We will not be responsible to pay any compensation following a change or a cancellation by us. Any amendment or cancellation fees you incur in terms of other arrangements you have made with other providers under separate contracts are not claimable from us.
iMportant notE:
If a change or cancellation occurs because of circumstances beyond our control, for example war, riot, industrial dispute, actual or threatened terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, flood, epidemic or pandemic illness and all similar situations we will have no liability to you. No compensation, costs, expenses or any other sums, including the cost of securing alternative accommodation will be paid by us.
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 re-bookings. 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 departure Over 56 55 - 29 28 - 22 21 - 8 7-0
before Cancellation Charge 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 Rep, 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 by ABTA and administered independently. 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. 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 £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within eighteen 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 Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Details on request or from www.abta.com.

We have a duty to select the accommodation providers with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the accommodation, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the provider with reasonable care and skill, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens at the accommodation or any acts or omissions of the provider or others. We also have no liability in the following situations: i. Where the accommodation cannot be provided as booked due to circumstances beyond our control (see the Note in clause If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday) ii. Where you incur any loss or damage that could not have been foreseen at the time of your booking, based on the information provided by you. iii. Where you incur any loss or damage that relates to any business activity. iv. Where any loss or damage relates to any services which do not form part of our contract with you. If we are found liable to you on any basis, we limit the amount we have to pay you to a maximum of three times the cost of your accommodation. This limit does not apply to cases involving death or injury.
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.

It is particularly important that you have the right cover for what you want to do on your holiday. Visit www.justsardinia.co.uk/travelinsurance for further information.
Passports, Visas And Travel Documents Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. British citizens currently do not require a visa to visit Italy. However, your passport must be valid past your return date. If you are not a British citizen or require further information on passport and visa requirements please visit www.fco.gov.uk. If planning to hire a car, please ensure that all drivers take their original driving licence with them for presentation to the car hire company at the pickup point. You will also need a major credit/debit card. We cannot be held responsible for any failure on your part to provide these documents. Please note that you should carry some form of ID with you at all times in Italy.
Health And Safety Your wellbeing 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 Inoculations: At the time of the website going live and the brochure going to print, there are no recommended inoculations for visiting Italy. However, we do advise you to check the latest information with your GP or health centre. 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 605 0707 or visit www.ehic.org.uk. Please note the EHIC card 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 e.g. different types of accommodation. For details about the facilities available at each accommodation, please ask our Reservations Team for information.
In some cases we will require a medical certificate from your doctor. For special requests (eg low floor, special meals etc), please consult us or your travel agent when you confirm your holiday booking. We shall always do our best to meet your requirements, BUT NO GUARANTEE IS GIVEN as this does not form part of your holiday contract.

We will store and use the information which you supply to us and other members of your party, for purposes set out in our Privacy Policy.
