Cosy Cala Gonone
Hairpin bends bring us ever closer to our final stop on the Sardinian adventure – Cala Gonone. It has a sheltered town beach, a pretty crescent of shingle lapped by navy and turquoise seas. Once unpacked we’re celebrating our 11th anniversary in traditional style – with pizza! 🙂 Cala Gonone is a jumping offContinue reading “Cosy Cala Gonone”

Romantic Romazzino
Romazzino beach is the next sandy spot to be bagged on our Costa S’meralda coastal tour and it’s a beauty. In the middle of the beach you’ll find a pier that stretches out into the warm(ish) waters!

Cracking Castlesardo
The enchanting town of Castlesardo clings to the wind battered hillside above a pretty little beach. With its pastel coloured houses, winding up the hillside it makes another pretty sight. At the very top is the pretty old town, fortified with a castle, which makes for an interesting and atmospheric trip. As the windContinue reading “Cracking Castlesardo”
Abandoned Argentiera
A completely different Sardinian trip this time is to Argentiera. Full of ghostly derelict mining buildings and empty, staring windows. This eerie place is a former mining town and its name comes from the Italian argento -silver. It feels like a former gold rush town in the Mid West. Silver has been mined here sinceContinue reading “Abandoned Argentiera”
