Barumini, Sardinia

Advantages: beautiful
Disadvantages: it's not a white spot on the map any more

...caves (the other one is near Alghero). The carpets I like best come from Isili, which you can visit when you go to Barumini to see the great nuraghi complex. the weaving mill (too big a word for the room with the looms) is beside the church. And wine, of course! Poor you, if you come by plane! The most famous quality is called 'cannonau', more red wine than white is produced. The wine cellars are called 'cantina', they sell open wine, too. People go there with plastic (!) containers and fill in the wine with the help of a pump, just like at a filling station.

Advantages: Nature is intact
Disadvantages: The north is very expensive

We also have the Caves of Is Zuddas with stalactite-stalagmite making strange shapes all carved by nature. In Cagliari you have the beautiful views from Castello "Castle" the old town which faces the gulf and the whole town, absolutely breathtaking!

Advantages: serious, easy to use, no agency fees
Disadvantages: little bit expensive but the quality must be paid

...I love self-made travels but to manage them i always need serious internet operators because i have to chose and book accomodations, cars and ferry tickets. I've found recently a good local specialist for Sardinia. I've apreciated its site: simply to use, with complete information, good pictures and a easy email booking process. I've booked for myself an hotel and an holiday car and i had a very nice holiday. The hotel was consistent with the internet description, hotel rates without agency fees, the car rental service serious and efficient. The staff of the sardinian operator friendly and helpfull. I recommend the website www.domus-tour.it for whom would like to discover Sardinia in complete liberty but with the support of a local serious and available broker.... Read review
