Anyone been/planning a holiday to Sardinia from UK?

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?

Hi,

My partner, our 14 month old and myself are trying to decide whether to take a trip to Italy next month - one that has already been delayed twice due to covid. We would love advice from anyone living in Italy or who has recently travelled there. We’re interested on how keen people living in Italy are to have tourists at the moment, what the atmosphere is like day to day in terms of covid restrictions and any tips on keeping a very very lively and curious 15 month old happy - one who loves to run about, chat to people and be busy...

My partner and I are in our 30s and well travelled (and have done 8 trips in the Uk since the birth of our daughter). We have both been fully vaccinated and are comfortable using masks outdoors and indoors. We are prepared to have and pay for the 5 covid tests necessary and the Uk quarantine anc our trip is already booked but is fully refundable so the stakes are fairly low. All our accommodation hosts are still enthusiastic for us to come.

We’re starting in Venice then had planned to take a train to Florence before hiring a car anc spending some time in a farm stay just north of San Gimoniano. We fly back from Pisa.

We live in London.

Thanks in advance!

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!

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:)

My husband and I are traveling to Sardinia for the first time in July 2022. We only have a few days to spend on Sardinia before moving on to the next leg of our trip. We have the option of staying at an RCI timeshare property. Was wondering if anyone has stayed at an RCI property on Sardinia and what your experience has been. We would also like to be near the sea as much of our time will be spent at the beach. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

We are planning on going to Sardinia upcoming Sunday from Genoa. We arrived in Italy two weeks ago with a certificate of a negative COVID-19 test from the Netherlands (out home country). Do we need another certificate to enter Sardinia by boat?

We travel with our camper. We are both not vaccinated and did not have COVID-19 in the past.

HiUnited has dropped fares to Milan from NYC so we are considering for end of August and then spending a week in Lake Como area with last 2 days in Milan. We will need covid tests for re-entry to the US and won’t have a car. How easy is it to find fast turn around testing in Milan city center? Thanks I’m advance!

I am going two weeks to Sardinia week 30/31 with my family (kids 11 and 17). We want to stay two different places that needs a pool. Not hotel, but cosy places (Airbnb ect). The area must be close to good beaches for snorkling, but it has to be accessable by car. We cant do long hikes with our 11 years boy.

Which area of Sardinia can you recommend out there ?

Keywords

• Want to stay a cosy place with pool in a nice small town where we by foot can visit small reastaurants ect.

• Not to far from good beaches. We hire a car, but we don’t want to drive more than an hour to reach beaches ect.

• Good beaches, with good opportunities to snorkel (not only sand 😊)

• Which area og Sardinia is best. East, northeast, south….?

Thanks 😊

Hello! I am planning to go in the Dolomites next week and I want to camp with my own tent. I tried to contact the campsites but they hardly answer the messeges of the phone. One of them doesn’t make bookings and you really need to show up early, another one answered it’s full and the others don’t answer.

Based on your experience, what would be the best options? Are there many places where you can just show up on the day?

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Thank you!

Hello experts!

We’ll have 3 dinners in Bologna this September and 1 or 2 lunches (depending on day trips). Although I’ve found some previous posts with restaurant recommendations, I wondered if someone might provide updates. We’ll be staying at the Aemilia and are willing to take taxis or buses as well as walking. Looking for the ‘classic’ regional specialties and the price point isn’t really important except we don’t have a Michelin star budget.

From previous TA posts and others we have:

Osteria Broccaindosso

Trattoria di via Serra

Ristorante Donatella

Trattoria Della Santa

Sfoglia Rina

Osteria Bottega

Osteria dell’Orsa

Ristorante Biogi

And more - it’s a bit overwhelming - so many choices and so few meals!

Thank you for any updated suggestions or any we should take off the list.

Happy travels to all.
