An ancient crossroads of civilization from the Phoenicians to the French, Sardinia’s unblemished landscape is dotted with the enigmatic nuraghi, beehive-shaped stone megaliths, which tell a tale of its long-gone inhabitants. Discover this little-known island for yourself, blessed with unspoiled coastlines (and thrilling rides), a rugged interior, and half of the country’s sheep population—which means extra helpings of cheese, accompanied by the local Cannonau red. (It’ll be your little Italian secret.)
All of our scheduled trips can be booked as private trips (your dates, your group).
The right number of like-minded travellers to make new friends.
Your dates. Your group. Our expertly-designed itinerary.
Tailored to your interests, a bespoke travel experience.
“I can’t say I really ‘work out,’ but I’m in good shape and am relatively active.”
“I enjoy a good walk or ride, and feel comfortable while on the move.”
“I get moving at least once a week, and don’t mind a little sweat.”
“I get moving a few times per week and enjoy some exertion.”
“I want to feel invigorated each day and going hard is how I like to do that.”
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
We craft extraordinary experiences, tailor made to meet your every need,
with every stitch of every day crafted just the way you want it.
