Hotels in Sardinia, Italy

Sardinia is a large Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea, famous for its dramatic granite cliffs and turquoise waters. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers around 86°F (30°C) perfect for windsurfing in the Gulf of Orosei, and mild winters near 50°F (10°C) ideal for hiking the limestone Gola su Gorropu gorge. The northeast Costa Smeralda offers upscale beach clubs and luxury yachting, while the west coast's Sinis Peninsula has ancient Phoenician ruins and quieter coves for snorkeling in the sea. In spring and fall, you can visit the 17th-century Berchidda village for its jazz festival or explore the prehistoric nuraghe towers scattered across the interior.
