Lazy days in the laid-back south of Sardinia

noreply@blogger.com (Just Sardinia News) — Tue, 07 May 2013 12:03:00 +0000

Saturday Times 4^th May 2013 by Grace Bradberry

With ancient ruins, a crystal-clear sea and relaxed resorts, Grace Bradberry finds Pula the perfect place for a child-friendly break…

“Walking up the hillside track to the ruins at Nora, on the southern tip of Sardinia, I feel as if a lifetime of internal conflict has been resolved. I am visiting a ruin - and yet I am scarcely leaving the beach. Below, to the left, is a gorgeous arc of sand and sea, dotted with towels and sun shades and the paraphernalia of a beach holiday. I will be, at all times, within five minutes of this gorgeous expanse as I tour the site.

How brilliant of first the Phoecians then the Romans, to pick this spot to build: sharing the same car park, that requires no long, sticky car journey, no sad half day parted from the sand and sea - in other words, the perfect Mediterranean holiday ruin with a toddler in tow. And so we - my three year old son and I - "do" the ruin. I have a slightly heavy heart as there is a compulsory 45 minute tour, in Italian. But I soon feel slightly ashamed at my attitude - this turns out to be a major site, and the tour guide is lively, switching easily into English. the oldest inscription dates back to about 1,000 BC and there are the remains of a Phoenician temple to the goddess Tanit. (Part of that original city is now submerged and can be seen on a separate snorkel tour). Much of the rest of the site with its baths, theatre and luxury villa, dates back to the Romans, who made Mora the capital of Sardinia in 238 BC, and built a main square overlooking the sea. We do not quite make it to the end of the tour, I have to admit: as the sun creeps higher in the cloudless sky, so does the temperature until my son finally cracks and lies down on the rubbly path by the Roman theatre, all possible interest spent. "No!" he cries. We beat a retreat and, in a cafe that sits on the dividing line between ruin and beach, we grab the last terrace table not taken by a coach party. We have done the ruin. Now for the beach. South Sardinia is all about the beach - no one would claim anything

else. In the north east, there is the Costa Smeralda, which is about the beach, but also about luxury shopping, the villas of the trashy mega-rich, and nightlife (Berlusconi’s seaside estate, Villa Certosa, is in this region, with its grotto, fake volcano and notoriously young female guests). Indeed, it's this expense and bling for which Sardinia is best known.

But here, in the more laid-back south, there are mid-range hotels alongside the expensive ones, as well as small B&Bs and agriturismo rooms for a little as €30pp per night. It feels as if there is just the sand, sea and a smattering of small towns, rather than some kind of consumer paradise. We are staying on the edge of Pula, a mile or so up the road from Nora, and 27km from the capital Cagliari, outside which lies the south’s main airport. Pula is not a flashy town but it has an attractive main square edged by tourist shops, a deli, and a restaurant or two, a couple of supermarkets (we are self-catering), and a church. We dine at one excellent restaurant Zia Leunora, down a side street, where we eat fish baked in salt and steak in a pretty courtyard with flowering climbers. My son's favourite dinner though is pizza from a cubby-hole of a takeaway, eaten sitting on a wall.

Our apartment is in the Lantana, a Roman-villa style resort that makes a point of being family friendly and has a large pool with a shallow area and a lovely children's playground. I could have happily hung out there all day, but that would have been to miss not only Nora but the glory of the beaches. And what beaches.

Pula is the start of a long string of sandy strips, curving round along the SS195 to Porto di Teulada. In the middle of this sweep, just beyond Nora, is a kind of mystery stretch hidden from view first by a pine grove and then by the vast Forte Village, an (expensive) complex of hotels and restaurants, which for a long time was an island of luxury tourism in the midst of an otherwise undeveloped coast.

The most glorious of the beaches is Chia, one of those knock-out crescents of sandy perfection, sheltered by dunes and junipers, that features in people's list of top-ten beaches. Here we stand in a vast sandy moonscape and everything is golden, and perfect and very hot. At one edge is a cafe selling old-fashioned bottles of Coke, and a place with surfboards to hire. Then nothing for ages - just sand and sea - until you reach another cafe at the far end.

We paddle, walk half way, get too hot, fight over applying sun cream, make sand castles, get too hot again...and finally I realise that this beach is just too perfect for a toddler. It's a place for couples and teens, and surfers and well anyone who doesn’t throw a tantrum when they get hot.

By now, I have a taste for the Sardinian roads. It's time for a mini road trip. So on a day even hotter than the last (the week would crescendo to 100 degrees) we set off southwest, for the island of Sant'Antioco - my kind of island in that it can be reached by driving across a mile-long causeway (no sea-sick boat trip involved). Even at 10.30am, as we park near the harbour, the heat hangs heavily. We walk through a big open square with deserted coffee shops until we reach the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, entirely shaded by trees. Up a cobbled street and past old women sitting half asleep in doorways, we make it to the church square and step inside the Basilica di Sant'Antioco Martire, built in 1102. A young man immediately asks if we would like to go on a tour of the catacombs. We descend a few steps into a small labyrinth, musky with the smell of earth and old bones (Saint Antiochus is said to have sought refuge and died here).

But with that visit, our exploration is over. The following day, we go to the pool and beach. And the day after that. We've done enough."

Grace Bradberry was a guest of Just Sardinia 01202 484858 www.justsardinia.co.uk which has a weeks self-catering from £493pp based on 4 sharing a 2 bed apartment at Residence Lantana including easyJet flights Stansted to Cagliari and car hire.

Why Sardinia ?

noreply@blogger.com (Just Sardinia News) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:40:00 +0000

Sardinia, or in Italian 'Sardegna', is not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated Italian island, west of mainland Italy and south of Corsica. With over 1800km of unspoilt coastline, it is renowned for beautiful beaches, translucent azure blue sea and fascinating rock formations.

Yet being the second largest Mediterranean island, it has so much more to offer with an interesting history, wild mountainous interior, vibrant towns with local traditions, colourful festivals. The people are warm and friendly and enjoying themselves in a way of life. A warm welcome awaits you in Sardinia!

Climate
Sardinia has a pleasant 6 month summer, hot and dry from May to October but often with a breeze due to its location in the centre of the Mediterranean. The winter months are mild with a good amount of sunshine, particularly in March and April when all the flowers are out and it can be hot during the daytime and cooler in the evenings.

Easy Access by Air
Sardinia can be reached by just a 2 hour flight from the UK. There are now direct flights from many regional airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, Luton and also Dublin. There are 3 airports in Sardinia: Olbia in the north east, Cagliari in the south and Alghero in the north west.

Mediterranean Lifestyle
Sardinia is an island that allows you to truly experience the very essence of Mediterranean life. The cuisine offers a rich repertoire of dishes, heavily influenced by the country’s various neighbours including Corsica and Italy, accompanied by impressive local wines. The mixing of game and farm produce (traditional with inland towns) and fish and seafood (traditional with coastal towns) result in a combination of flavours and appearance that is unique to Sardinia.

Something for Everyone
Sardinia has something for everyone from the jet set world famous Costa Smeralda, with breathtaking scenery and exclusive hotels, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and Caribbean-like turquoise sea. Wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches, vibrant yet uncommercialised towns and villages, a mountainous interior with wonderful views of the island, refreshing lakes and waterfalls, and an interesting history. For example, there are around 7,000 ‘Nuraghi’, (mysterious stone dwellings dating back 3,500 years), throughout the island as a permanent reminder of its prehistoric occupation, as well as numerous examples of Roman architecture as a catalogue of their dominance.

Let Just Sardinia tempt you www.justsardinia.co.uk or for personal advice from our staff who have visited all our hotels, villas and apartments call 01202 484858 and experience Sardinia with Just Sardinia, the island specialist.

Su Gologone Sardinia in Sunday Times Best 100 Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Just Sardinia News) — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:28:00 +0000

"Most of the time, A-listers such as Madonna and Stella McCartney stay at A-list places, with A-list prices. But those very two - along with Richard Gere, Antonio Carluccio and other - have stayed at the Su Gologone, a simple if rather bohemian, country inn on Sardinia's mountainous east coast. (Madge stayed for weeks. Couldn't get her out of the place.) Why? Could be the evocative setting, in the heart of the Supramonte countryside; or maybe the Sardinian cooking (try the signature fire-roasted sucking pig); or perhaps the trad-with-a-twist art, the excellent walking or the chilled-out rustic vibe. It certainly wasn't the prices."

Just Sardinia www.justsardinia.co.uk 01202 4848458 has prices at the Su Gologone Country Resort from £651pp for 7 nights half board in a classic room in April-June and October. Flights and car hire extra cost.

Sunday Times 'Knights on the town in Sardinia'

These are the Componidori, or knights, of the Sardinian town of Oristano - and, if the commercialised extravaganzas of Venice and Rio have lost their appear, perhaps you should see how these gentlemen celebrate carnival.

It's called Sa Sartiglia (sartiglia.info), it takes place from February 10-12, and the principle is simple: if a demigod can pierce with his sword a palm-sized silver star suspended in the street while at full gallop, evil will wither, disease will desist, crops will thrive and children will be born. It's therefore important to choose the right demigod, known as Su Componidori - a local lad who knows his way around a horse and is pure of heart and mind. Many are called, but only two are chosen: one for each of the participating gremios, or guilds, and both in utter secrecy.

On the big day, he is laid on an altar and dressed by virgins in reverential silence. Mounting his horse without touching the ground - to do so would compromise his purity - he emerges into the packed streets dressed in a top hat, a lace-edged mantilla and that disturbing, expressionless, androgynous mask. No longer human, he is the incarnation of an old god, carrying a bouquet of periwinkles and violets (representing fertility and spring), and bearing the fate of the city on his shoulders.

The star is suspended on Via del Duomo. He will pass three times under it, then he will charge, sword extended to pierce - or miss - the tin star. If he succeeds, he will turn the horse, lie flat on its back and gallop back down the street, and if you're impressed by that, you've seen nothing yet.

Now it's the Componidori's turn to impress and your turn to give thanks. They have to gallop down Via Mazzini, standing upright on their horses; you have to thank whatever god you like that you don't have to take part.
