Has anyone stayed at an RCI timeshare property?

Hello!

I am planning a trip to Sardinia and Nice for 3 weeks next summer from the United States and am wondering if it's easiest to fly directly to Sardinia from the states (via Rome) as I'm having a difficult time finding travel from Nice to Sardinia that doesn't waste a day. Does anyone have experience with this type of itinerary? I can do Nice at the beginning or end of the trip and am trying to figure out what would be the easiest. Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

So we are trying to plan a trip to Sardinia this September. We are coming from the US what are the requirements for us to be able to enter? Do we still need to wear a mask indoors? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone

We are a couple planning a summer trip and struggling to decide between Sardinia and Croatia. We are looking for a quiet beach vacation,that is not too crowded with tourists, and has hiking options. I would love to hear your opinion.

Thanks:)

We’ve got one booked for first week of July in the North near Santa Theresa. Looks like Sardinia will still be on the UK’s amber list by then. Can’t decide whether to go anyway and pay for all the covid tests or to abandon this year. Any thoughts? Anyone been from the UK recently and if so what was your experience?

Much the same as when entering Sardinia, the UK requires evidence of a negative PCR test within 3 days of the flight back to the UK. We're still hoping to stay at Hotel la Bisaccia in Baja in north east Sardinia, any ideas how far I'll need to travel to get the PCR test? I expect it'll be a minimum of a hire car journey to Olbia?

Hello all, I'm spending about 5 days in Sardinia with my daughter with the first 2 days in San Teodoro and 3 days in Cagliari. I don't plan to rent a car but just rent a bicycle to get around the beaches in San Teodoro and Villasimius . Is it easy to get around by bike?

Hi,

We are spending some time in Sardinia and have a few days spare en route from Alghero to Cagliari.

Can anyone advise on a nice place between the two for which to spend 3/4 nights?

We will be travelling by public transport between the two so we need it to be easily accessible by train/bus.

All tips appreciated!

Thanks!

Hopefully, all things will be safe for travel. Our son would like to go for my 75'th BD , DIL 50'th and Granddaughter's 16'th birthday to Rome. We plan on arriving a few (5 days) before them and using Marriott points. A few years ago, we stayed at the Palazzo Naiadia , but not now, no longer a Marriott. Have narrowed down to Rome Marriott Grand Flora or the Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel, AC. Any information or which you would select, or comments. After, our five days, we will move to our son's place he has book for us, for 8 nights, at Villa Spalletti Trivelli. Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

Group of 7 including 3 teenagers traveling at the end of June 2022. Flying into Venice and spending 2.5 days there and will finish the trip with 4 days in Rome. Half of the group has been to Italy before, 1st trip to Europe for the other half.

One member of the group wants to meet up with a friend in Milan for a day.

Thinking it might be nice to spend a few days at Lake Como for these reasons -

Would be an easy trip back and forth to Milan for the friend meet up.

Nice relaxation time with swimming, boating, laying out by the lake etc.

Lake Como is gorgeous!

If you were traveling from VCE to Rome and had 3 or 4 days AND needed to spend 1 day in Milan where would you go? Am I on the right track or should we be looking elsewhere?

Hi! I'm planning on doing a long holiday in Italy from the end of September until November. I will be doing most of my transport via public transport, but biking/hiking or renting a car every now and then might be an option too.

What I'm currently thinking about:

- Enter sicily by train, hop off on the east coast. Visit Taormina, Catania, Siracusa, and possibly Ragusa as main sites. 5 days?

- Take the ferry from either Pozzallo or Augusta to Malta

- Spend about a week on Malta

- Take the ferry back, see (possibly Ragusa here) Valle dei Templi, and the north and west of sicily. About 10 days?

- Take the ferry from Palermo to Cagliari

- Spend about two weeks on Sardinia (not sure what places yet)

- take the ferry from Porto Torres to Barcelona

Is this a feasibily itinerary? The suggested staying times for these places seem to be all over the place (e.g. 5 days enough for Sicily, two weeks in Malta) so I'm wondering if I'm taking it easy enough or if I could include Amalfi for example. Is two weeks in Sicily enough if I go by public transport? I want to see the main sites and take some relaxed days off too. I don't need to spend days in every town exploring every alley.

I plan on staying in hostels and cheap hotel rooms mostly. I can also bring camping gear but I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it as I think a lot of campings will already be closed in October. I don't particularly have a set budget but I prefer to spend my cash on good food and perhaps some guides. I don't have a need for luxury hotels or driving a car everywhere.
