Holidays in Sardinia

Sardinia abounds with Mediterranean and alpine flora. By the sea, juniper, lentisk and strawberry trees flourish - enjoy the sweet miasma as you explore. And the island's untravelled paths mean that you can still see wild horses, porcupines and mouflons. On the migratory route, there are many birds, including Sardinian Marmora, Eleonora's falcon and golden eagles. Much of the coastline is tranquil and untamed, and dolphins still swim in the Orosei Gulf.

On a walking holiday in Sardinia you'll savour the local cuisine, which consists of village recipes passed down through generations. In Dorgali you can savour the signature dish called anzelotto, which is ravioli filled with delicious fresh ricotta, meat and tomato sauce. By the sea, fresh fish abounds, with sea bass, bream and mullet frequently on menus. Another favourite is spaghetti alla bottaga, a salty dish with dried and salted grated fish roe. Everywhere, you'll find the wafer thin, crispy shepherd's bread - pane carasau. Made that way to be carried in their satchels and to keep well for long periods, it's delicious dipped in the local ricotta cheese.
