15 June 2011

Sardinia has been voted one of the Top 10 holiday destinations in August according to The Conde Naste Traveller. Here's what they said: "Over on Sardinia, the Costa Smeralda is a romantic and dazzlingly beautiful holiday destination" "The Aga Khan turned Sardinia's Costa Smeralda into a eco-sensitive millionaire's paradise in the 1960s. On this north-eastern stretch of coast, where rugged landscapes meet pampered living, the rich rarely venture far from their villas or yachts. Infamous as the summer headquarters of the Italian paparazzi, who hunt for the starlets and celebrities who flock here, the Costa Smeralda is nevertheless a romantic and dazzlingly beautiful holiday escape." Also included in the Top Ten are: Cote d'Azur, Ibiza, Mayan Riviera, Karala, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Cairo, Bhutan and Montana.
