Premier Spas & Romance - Winter/Spring 2008 - (Page 30) Sardinia Located 125 miles from the Italian mainland, Sardinia offers a host of high-end resorts and historical and natural attractions. The second-largest Mediterranean island, Sardinia boasts more than 900 miles of rocky coastline and is home to a bevy of pristine beaches. Its climate is moderate with little rainfall, rendering it an ideal vacation destination. With its location on the island’s southern coast, Sardinia’s capital city, Cagliari, also known as “the City of the Sun,” is awash in beautifully preserved medieval architecture. Advise clients in search of prize photo ops to visit San Michele, a hilltop castle offering a bird’s-eye view of the city. Another “must-see,” Poetto Beach is one of the best in the world and is lined with cafés and energetic nightlife. Local artisans and craftsmen produce original keepsakes to the delight of locals and visitors. Dining options are of equal quality: Traditional Sardinian specialties include wild boar ham and sa fregula (pasta in fish broth). In addition to the comfort of world-class hotels, visitors to Sardinia are treated to remarkably unspoiled scenery. Its scenic mountains, bays, gorges and lakes provide the opportunity to be closer to nature. Cagliari’s airport is located just outside the city at Elmas, and is easily accessible from most major Italian cities. Rome is a 50-minute flight away; London airports are accessible within two hours. www.bestsardinia.org www.sardegna.net I.
