Cookery Holiday in Sardinia
Sardinia;
part of Italy, yet unique. The story goes that God created Sardinia
and marvelled at what he had done, he tried to re-create this
wonder, but failed, he named this second creation: Paradise!
Sardinia;
a Mediterranean island blessed with warm sunshine, turquoise crystal-clear
seas, white flour-like beaches and miles of unspoiled coastline.
The hinterland boasts miles of rugged countryside dotted with
picturesque villages. Here you can enjoy all that is good about
Italy, as well as something more. Whether it is your choice
to simply relax in a beach-side villa or apartment, join in with
some of the numerous watersports on offer, or simply soak up the
unique and fascinating culture, Sardinia has something to offer
everyone. Working with our 'partners' in Sardinia, Creativity

Sardinia
is an island of many faces, consequently, a holiday in Sardinia
can be tailor-made to suit your ideas and tastes. You could choose
to stay near Alghero in the North West.
RyanAir flies into Alghero from London Stansted Airport on a frequent
basis.
It
is a very pretty city that combines an untouched and completely
pedestrianised medieval town centre with beautiful beaches and
clear seas. Originally a fishing village, it was seized by the
Genoese towards the end of the 12th century and became an important
fortress. The city then came under control of the Catalans in
the 14th century and still has many Catalonian characteristics
to this day. There is a vibrant restaurant and cafe scene where
visitors can sample the local wines and the local cuisine especially
renowned for its seafood dishes. This beautiful old town with
its historic fortifications, the nearby beaches, caves, cliffs
and the busy nightlife combine to make Alghero a great place to
visit in its own right as well as being an ideal base from which
to explore the rest of Sardinia. From here you can hire a car
or even take public transport to other parts of the island, many
of them, as yet undiscovered by mass tourism and offering a serene,
relaxing holiday, but with sports and sightseeing on hand for
those who want them !
The
area of north eastern Sardinia is famous the world over, a name
that speaks of elegance and wealth, great geographical and costal
beauty, a synonym for V.I.P. The Costa Smeralda,
the territory of the north eastern Sardinia community and township
of Arzachena, the beginning for tourism in Sardinia some 40 years
ago. From its "Emerald Sea" and the many white sandy
beaches to villas,which make one wonder if they are real or perhaps
part of a film set. Ports and coves whose anchored yachts are,
at times, even bigger than the villas nestled into the surrounding
hilltops.Yes, this is the Costa Smeralda no equal on earth, a
place of the powerful, entertainers, politicians, athletes and
the world's business class.
Unlike
the north, east and south coasts, Sardinia’s central west
coast south from Bosa to the islands of Sant’ Antioco and
San Pietro, is for the most part, very much like it may have been
30 to 40 years ago. The Oristanese is an area
beginning at the southern point of the Sinis Peninsula and northward
to the seaside community of Santa Caterina di Pittinuri. A coastline
blessed with an untouched geographical beauty which for the most
part is unspoiled by man.
On the Sinis
peninsula , you will want to wander the marshes, admire the pink
clouds of flamingos taking off into the sunset, watch the local
fisherman land his catch, and then allow the local restaurants
to spoil you with a feast fit for a king based on the best of
the day's catch. Menu ? Not likely. A wonderful dinner,
lovingly prepared and served with warmth and unparallelled hospitality.
A night-time walk where you can truly see the stars - What could
interrupt this Paradise on earth? - Well, perhaps an international
football match featuring Italy - but little else!
South
of the city of Olbia (22km.), is the small town
of San Teodoro and its 32 km of unspoiled coastline.
A few decades ago a quiet, small, pastoral and fishing community,
in recent years the region is becoming the number one location
for Italian and European summer tourism in Sardinia. The coast
is blessed with an unmatched splendour; long white sandy beaches,
clear, and at times, transparent sea, large limestone and granite
rock formations that capture the interior scenery, with San Teodoro
the guardian, and Porto San Paolo to the north
and Ottiolu to the south the lookouts. From the
4 Km.long La Cinta Beach and all the many other
amazing white sandy beaches that dot this seaside paradise, to
all the fine shops, fine restaurants and night spots, these
locations are a must on any beach lovers' itinerary.
