“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.”
Of all Italy’s regions, Sardinia is perhaps the most enigmatic. Its impenetrable mountains were long the domain of bandits and kidnappers, yet home to some of the friendliest people anywhere. It is hard to say which is more stunning: the verdant sheep-covered hills of the interior or the vertiginous limestone cliffs plunging into a cobalt sea. Focusing on one corner of the vast island, this trip will take you from the towering Limbara massif to local artisanal shops and the Costa Smeralda, one of Europe’s most glamourous destinations. Along the way, superb cycling and a day of discovery in the Maddalena Archipelago render the experience all the richer.

In a prized position, right above the Costa Smeralda, Li Finistreddi offers guests exceptional views of the Mediterranean sea and the surrounding Gallura countryside. The property, with only 19 rooms, is entirely intimate and delicately perfumed by the wild rosemary, juniper and myrtle native to the area. Dinning on the terrace, with a fabulous view of the archipelago of La Maddalena, is a magical experience.
The Cala di Volpe is the epitome of Costa Smeralda chic, and a must on many bucket lists. A member of the prestigious Luxury Collection, the property occupies a private section of coastline, complete with its own harbour, beaches, and piers.
Travelling with B&R is what being alive is all about. It's action packed and incredibly invigorating with so many personal highlights that it's hard to single out just one.
