r/Sardinia

Hi,

I am going to Sardinia with some friends and we will be renting a car. We are thinking of staying at baunei. Is it fine to travel around that area of the coast by car ? Are the roads good ? For example we want to visit Cala Gonone, Cala Biriala, Cala Mariolu, etc.

Sardinia road trip (July 5–9) – join our creative adventure! 🚗🌿

Hello everyone! We are a group of 4 people planning to travel to Sardinia from July 5th to July 9th.

Unfortunately, we made a mistake with our car rental — we already booked accommodation and flights, but we cannot rent a car because we are missing an International Driving Permit.

That’s why we are looking for a friendly companion who could join our trip and possibly share the experience with us. Ideally, you would either:

- have a car in Sardinia, or

- have a valid European driving licence so you could rent a car.

We are a group of creative and active people (average age 24), coming from an artistic background. We love music, culture, and good energy, and we believe this could be a really fun and memorable trip for everyone involved.

Of course, we are open to discussing accommodation sharing and other details in a mutually beneficial way.

If this sounds interesting to you, or if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to message us.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🌿

Hi everyone. I just had 1 amazing week in Sardinia. I did a lot of things, except hiking. Ask me everthing: beaches, restaurants, city centers, roads etc.

Hi There, I'm looking for videographers/videomakers based in Sardinia for a corporate shoot. Any leads or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bonjour à tous,
Je suis un gros gourmet qui veut être sur de se régaler et d’aller dans les plus belles criques / plages du sud de la Sardaigne
J’y vais en plein mois d’août pas le plus simple pour profiter de tout ça calmement
Mais si vous connaissez des endroits imparables
Des criques cachés ou simplement la meilleure boulangerie du sud de la Sardaigne ou bar je prends !

Merci à tous hâte de découvrir cet endroit sublime

Hi all

Im very new to Sardinia but I've heard its beautiful and it has amazing food and people.

I want to do a 4 day trip with my wife (solo time after being in Asia for 1month with our 2 year old son - we love him but we want some private time)

I know 4 days is not much, but we cant afford more to be honest. Since we dont have that much time (and we wont be able to see everything), we need some help to make the 4 days count.

Can someone help us with some recommendations? Where to stay? Rent a car or scooter? What beaches to explore? What activities/trips to do? Islands?

Note: we love more quite places and really want to enjoy the beautiful nature, beaches and culture. Not really looking for crowded places.

Thanks for the help! Grazie!

My friend and I want to travel Sardinia in July (12 days). Ideally we would split between two places flying in from Olbia.

Any recommendations for a base that is manageable without a car ? Ideally with close access to a nice beach some basic restaurants etc

Was thinking San Teodoro, Alghero or Porto Rotondo. Happy to get any suggestions of you favorite beaches, hotels or areas !

I need advice for my honeymoon please! We are coming to Sardinia Aug 31 to Sep 12, and fly into Olbia and fly out of Cagliari. We are thinking Aug 31-Sep 5 in the north/north east (Cannigione, Golfo Aranci, or San Teodoro), Sep 5-7 in Alghero, and Sep 7-12 in the south (Chia or Villasimius). I would appreciate any advice on which of these cities to stay in, THANK YOU!

The goal is: Stunning beaches. That’s all 🌊

So we land in Cagliari, and we leave from Cagliari 5 days later.
Day 1: Drive from the Cagliari airport to Orosei.
Day 2 - Orosei: probably rent a boat.
Day3 - Orosei: drive to Cala Ganone? Cala Luna? Or other beaches?
Day 4: drive back to Cagliari (early morning) maybe even go to the beach or just explore the city in the afternoon.
Day 5: Leave from Cagliari airport

Should we add at least one more day in Cagliari?
We’ve heard that Orosei is where the stunning beaches are.
Any insight will help ☺️

My partner and I are heading to Sardinia the last week of May, flying into Olbia Airport and travelling onwards to La Maddelena, where we will stay for a week. Is https://www.olbia-airport-taxi.com/ reliable to book an airport transfer in advance? Do locals or people who have travelled in the area have any recommendations, please?

Hi my hotel in san Teodoro is quoting 180 euros one way for a transfer. This isn’t a question about whether I’m insane or why I’m not hiring a car, but more that I wanted to check if that’s the market rate for a journey of that distance from Olbia?

Looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation. I'm an Indian nationals currently in Sardinia, Italy

Passport and Swedish residence permit stolen (car break-in)

Italian police report (denuncia) filed

Digital copy of passport and swedish residence permit available

The nearest embassy is in Rome which can only be reached via a flight which also needs a passport to board the plan from Sardinia to Rome.

My actual flight back is on Transavia within a few days

They did not check my passport or residence permit during my outbound flight

Plan is to obtain an Emergency Certificate/passport from Indian Embassy upon arrival in Stockholm, Sweden.

Questions:

Has anyone successfully boarded an intra-Schengen Transavia flight with just a police report + digital passport copy?

Any help appreciated, time is critical here. Thank you.

We’re staying in Cagliari but we don’t care much for the town. We wanna see the beaches especially…
What are some of the best beaches within 1 hour-ish?

And is it worth it to do a day trip to the north for one day? (It’s 3 hours) so idk if it’s worth it, or if we can find beautiful beaches just around the south. (1hr drive max)

Hello, my gf and I will be visiting Sardinia this summer, from july 31st until august 9th.

Could you please recommend rent a cars that operate in Olbia, our inputs are following:
- no deposit
- full coverage option
- reliable

Thanks in advance!

Hi
I will go in June to Sardinia to visit the center and south part of the island.
I’m checking cars without insurance to rent at the airport for more or less 40€/day. Fiat 500/Panda or KIA Picanto or Citroen C1 are options , but for a bit more I can get Peugeot 208 or Nissan Qashqai. Should I get the Peugeot / Nissan or one of the others ?

Ciao :)

I am from Ireland and myself my girlfriend will be in Sardinia in a couple weeks. We will land in Alghero and drive across the island.

While I am a competent driver I am a bit concerned, but I'm sure its mainly just anxiety as I've never driven abroad and never on the opposite side of the road!

I'm sure its going to be fine as many people like me do this all the time. But maybe it would be nice to have some reassurance that it won't be as bad as I'm expecting.

I hear it's no where near as bad as driving in large Italian cities and as long as I let people pass me and stay focused it should all be ok.

Thank you to anyone who may leave any tips :)

Hi All, can someone recommend any spots to rent a small boat (the ones you don't need license for) at La Maddalena and/or at Cala Gonone? Also what would be a reasonable price for it? :) Going in the middle of July.

Thank you in advance! :)
