I went to school in Rome for a semester, and during a four day weekend I decided to go to Sardinia b/c I saw some pics of it on the 'net and it looked and sounded awesome. As I read this book I became very excited at all the cool things one could do and see.The book listed many of the best beaches, festivals, scenery, and archaeological sites of the island. It was very hard to decide what I should do first!
The book was a huge help and gave me lots of great ideas. However, I did have some trouble finding some of the things mentioned in the book, despite what seemed like very detailed directions. That may have had more to do with the very old and poorly maintained roads and signs than the book though. I have found some pictures online of places that I don't think were mentioned in the book that I want to see the next time I go, so I wouldn't rely exclusively on one source when planning your trip.

Very informative. Sites, restaurants, beaches -- great descriptions that actually matched the locations. Highly recommend this book.

Sardinia travel guide is as good, clear and concise as all the DK travel guides. It is ideal for those tourists who do not have the time to learn a long history, or simply do not want to do so. Ratio of photos/texts is perfect, maps are clear not filled with useless details. Quality of paper again is ideal, so can take it out from and put it back to your bag 100 times a day without transforming it into a pellet.

The book is very informative, has great pictures and is quite complete. However, once you read it all, marked it all, it is hard to put it all together, because the only complete map of the island is very small and does not have the detail. Going back and forth from one regional map to the other is complicated and confusing.

Very helpful in determining what areas of the island we wanted to see and/or stay at. We are planning a trip for later this year and will definately take the book along - tons of helpful information.
Would have liked to see a map that shows the location of the hotels listed in the reference section.
