I recently got married and it took us a while to pick the perfect place for a romantic honeymoon, eventually we chose Italy and Sardinia attracted our attention with it's beautiful beaches.
We booked through Portland, who were very helpful and got the price down for us to £990 for a weeks half board stay.

As soon as we got off the plane we were greated with a hot temperature and lots of Italian men helping us off the plane.
Our bags didn't take long to collect and after a short coach trip, we had reached our destination, Hotel Oasis!

The food that evening was fantastic, it was a buffet style, with starters of olives, feta cheese, salad, meats and then a choice for the main course, steak, pasta or fish, all very tasty, well it would be rude not try everything!

The next day, slightly hungover and with aching feet, we visited a vineyard with our rep. It was well worth seeing and some of the sights on the way were perfect picture moments. I think the best part of the vineyard for me was actually trying the wine they produced. We had two fglasses of a lovely sparkling champagne and some special Italian flatbread, which is delicious and after a few drinks you can't stop eating it!!

Another excursion we went on was a boat tour of Sardinia. We sailed around the 'sleeping Giant' and other parts of the Island which were amazing and seein Alghero in the distance looked amazing. We went around the Caves of Neptune, and all along the water was clear and looked so inviting!

Afterwards we were served with a meal on the boat, seafood pasta, it had everything in it, crab, king prawns and mussels. Of course I was the only fussy one there who had plain pasta, which was still delicious! With the meal, there was wine flowing freely! As a second course, fresh mussels were served drizzled with lemon. It was enjoyed by all. I had freshly cooked chicken breast instead, very tasty! We were then served with grapes, which amused the Italian passengers, watching the 'foreigners' spit out thte pips, while they crunched them! Finally we were served liquers! Not the sort of lunch we have at home, but a great treat!

Our final excursion was a typical Sardinian evening, where we were taken to a secluded restaurant and entertained with Sardian music and dancing, and were served red wine, olives, feta, spit roasted pork, pasta and numerous cakes! I was trying everything, after dieting to fit into my wedding dress for months, I could finally pig out, and pig out I did.

All of the trips we went on were well worth the money and helped us to see more sights of Sardinia, I would recommend them.

The only bad thing about the hotel Oasis was that all the entertainment was in Italian and in the evenings, form 9 o'clock it was children time, a little late, but every night it was the same italian childrens songs, which I still hear in my head now!! The hotel was full of italian visitors, so it would have really helped to speak their language
