--Michael Palin

From the Back Cover
While the rest of Italy is picturesque and stylish, Sardinia remains artless and unaffected, with some of the most ravishing, uncrowded beaches in the Mediterranean, washed by a sea that comes in every shade of turquoise and sapphire. Away from the Costa Smeralda – playground of the rich and famous – lie wide, lush green valleys, lagoons of pink flamingos, a rugged, hilly landscape covered with olives and vineyards, and dotted with hundreds of Bronze Age castles, and thrilling, dramatic mountain scenery that gives way to yet more enchanting sandy white beaches of incandescent beauty. This in-depth guide reveals, too, the Sardinians' unique culture, with village festivals and ancient, haunting polyphonic music, and an unusual and wide-ranging cuisine with plenty of good strong red wine.
Inside you will find: practical travel advice; over 250 hand-picked places to stay; over 300 restaurants, bars & cafes; 30 maps and site plans; stunning color photography; the best beaches; the pick of ancient sights on the island.

Thoughtful, and filled with valuable details,
By GraceAnne "GraceAnne" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sardinia (Paperback)
Cadogan's guide to Sardinia is filled with history and practical details. The guide doesn't have pictures, just simple illustrations and some useful maps. The recommendations for hotels were also very good. We stayed in Cagliari, Arbus, and Nuoro. We were looking for hotels which were charming and not too expensive, and the book definitely met that need. The beach descriptions were also useful. Sardinia has many of them. :-) It's not necessary to go to the more expensive Costa Smeralda region in order to have a wonderful holiday in Sardinia. As a side tip, if you are going to Sardinia via Cagliari, drop by the tourist office. The people there were very nice, and they had a plethora of good information on Sardinia.

Absolutely fantastic!,

This review is from: Sardinia, 3rd (Country & Regional Guides - Cadogan) (Paperback)
I bought this book because I am actually moving to Sardinia in a few months - and, believe it or not, I've never been there - so I needed a book that encompasses absolutely everything about the island. From food and wine to history, from beaches to the nuraghi, this book definitely has it all! It's a fairly easy read and I've learned so much from it. I feel like I've already been there. Even if you've never thought about visiting Sardinia, you'll want to after reading this guide. It has my highest recommendation.

The only guide that helps,

This review is from: Sardinia, 2nd (Cadogan Guide Sardinia) (Paperback)
It is tough to find guides to Sardinia. This one (Cadogan) is the best available. The Insight Guide gives you interesting information about the island, but it doesn't tell you where to stay or eat. The Eyewitness Guide gives a limited amount of information about hotels and lodging, but does offer helpful explanations of the local food, including pictures. This is great since we do not speak italian. My Cadogan Guide is well worn, the mark of a truly useful book.
