5 Majestic Hotspots Around Sardinia

Its no secret the island of Sardinia is an island paradise

. Located at the heart of the Mediterranean, staying in a villa in Sardinia is just about the perfect way to soak in the beauty of the land and its culture, while avoiding the bustling and crowded hotel environment.

Even when you long for some peace and quiet cocooned in a lovely villa in Sardinia, the list of must-visit attractions around the island will definitely give you enough reason to get out and about. Apart from its beaches, here are the top five tourist attractions that you dont want to miss when planning a holiday here.

1. Nuraghe of Barumini

Declared as as world heritage site by UNESCO back in 1997, the Nuraghe of Barumini, also known as Su Nuraxi, is one of the best-preserved and most important among over 7,000 nuraghe that are scattered all over the island.

2. Maddalena Archipelago

Composed of seven major islands, the stunning Maddalena Archipelago is yet another one of the UNESCO world heritage sites you can find on the island - bestowed with the honour in 1994. It boasts crystal clear waters and stunning views, raved about by locals and tourists alike. Whether you plan to stay in a villa in Sardinia or a hotel, you can arrange for a full or half day excursion to this region. You will delight in the small coves and beaches that can only be reached by boat, and soak in the beauty of nature that has been so wonderfully preserved.

3. Chia Beach

Among the many beaches of the island, Chia retains its popularity due to the clear waters that bathe the coast stretching for six kilometres. In this area you can also visit another archaeological site called Nora; the site is of Punic origins and is considered to be the most ancient town on the island. From Chia, you can also visit Capo Spartivento, where you will find the Faro di Capo Spartivento, a lighthouse converted into a luxury guesthouse.

4. Su Gorroppu Gorge

Su Gorroppu Gorge is recognised as the deepest canyon on the entire island and, in fact, also the deepest in all of Europe. Located in the region of Ogliastra on the southern part of Sardinia, here you can experience the wildest and most unspoilt nature as you trudge along the lands of centenaries.

5. Alghero and Bosa

Both unique and charming, Alghero and Bosa can be found on the north-western coast of the island and are definitely worth a visit. Alghero boasts an evocative historical centre, coupled with stunning beaches nearby. Fifty kilometres away is Bosa, considerably smaller and with the romantic charm of a river city steeped in tradition.

A look at these attractions will easily explain why this lovely Italian island remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy today. So look forward to enjoying a fun-filled and picture-perfect holiday while staying in a charming villa in Sardinia.
