Sardinia is a low-stress family destination with short flight times, great villas and hotels with pools, gently shelving beaches - and all with that traditional Italian appreciation for family life.
With its exclusive reputation, exquisite coastline, and a beautiful rural interior, Sardinia is the perfect place for friends, or for couples to spend a romantic holiday or honeymoon.
