Tour · 7 nights · with Travelsphere
A week-long escorted tour with Travelsphere along Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, combining guided visits to vineyards, medieval towns and marina-side resorts with several days left at leisure to amble or relax on the island’s northern shores.
Highlights
Marina and Stella Maris church at Porto Cervo
Guided walk of Alghero’s medieval old town
Wine tasting at a Sardinian vineyard
Optional ferry trip to Bonifacio, Corsica
Several full days at leisure in Cannigione
Travelsphere’s Sardinia’s Emerald Coast is a seven-night escorted tour that begins in Olbia, the gateway to the island’s sophisticated north-east. The itinerary includes a day exploring Costa Smeralda’s marina in Porto Cervo, with its unusual Stella Maris church and the nearby artists’ village of San Pantaleo, where granite mountains frame a peaceful piazza.
Journeys
Midway through the holiday, the journey turns to the north-west coast with a guided tour of Alghero’s medieval old town, including its Gothic cathedral and sea walls topped by views of Capo Caccia cliffs. There’s also a wine tasting at a local vineyard, where small Sardinian delicacies provide a flavour of the region’s rural produce. Several days in Cannigione are left free for doing as much or as little as suits you, with optional trips available – including a ferry crossing to Bonifacio on neighbouring Corsica.
This is a balanced holiday that mixes cultural visits with genuine downtime. The hotel’s location between beaches, cafés and artisan shops may well tempt you to extend your free time beyond what’s on the itinerary, and that’s part of the appeal.
