Tuerredda, Sardinia

Aworld away from the chic and glamour of the northern Costa Smeralda, Sardinia’s southwest corner is an unspoiled region of mostly deserted beaches fringed by azure waters, watched over by fascinating island capital Cagliari, with its Roman remains and remnants of the prehistoric Nuragic civilisation. The region is also gateway to a rugged, mountainous interior through which the famous Little Green Train makes its way.

Based in a newly refurbished four-star country hotel in the quiet village of Sant’Anna Arresi, just 10 minutes away by regular shuttle bus from the beautiful beach and tiny resort of Porto Pino, the holiday combines plenty of time for rest and relaxation with some fascinating included and optional excursions. Join your tour manager for a guided introduction to elegant Cagliari, a settlement since before Roman times, and which combines a sense of history with a modern charm and an air of relaxation. Explore the fortified Citadel, overlooking the scene, and stroll arcaded Via Roma and bustling Via Sardegna. An undoubted highlight will be the journey on the famous Little Green Train through forests, over ravines and through tunnels, calling at several remote villages, a world away from the beaches, towns and coast. With a last included excursion taking in the two beautiful offshore islands that grace Sardinia’s southwest corner, plenty of time to enjoy the pool, delightful Sant’Anna Arresi and Porto Pino’s beach, this is a wonderful holiday in a beautiful corner of the Mediterranean.
