What area of Giardini Naxos to stay in

We are planning a one-week trip to Sardinia with our 2.5 year old daughter late August. Looking for a small hotel or serviced villa/apartment (even a farm stay):

- at walking distance to a beautiful beach with shallow waters

- with a pool / playground ideally

- not looking for big all-inclusive resorts

- in/close to a cozy village or town offering easy walks and proximity to restaurants

- toddler-friendly activities close-by

Any recommendations on the area /place to stay? I'm looking at Costa Rei, Orosei, etc. but really difficult to pick one!

We are a ‘mature’ couple traveling to Italy with 11 nights open between Rome & Florence so decided to visit Sardegna in early September. Probably flying into Olbia & departing from Cagliari.

Enjoy white sandy beaches, crystal clear water (who doesn't?), swimming, drinking local wine & local food. Also realize that beaches in Sardegna are rocky.

Prefer to stay at hotels in town to walk to dinner and stroll around town at night. Will rent a car to drive to close beaches during the day, perhaps stay at a beach hotel for 2 or 3 nights if on a beautiful beach.

Any suggestions on itinerary - where to stay & for how many nights? Perhaps 3 locations with 11 nights? The more I read on this helpful forum, the more overwhelmed I become on where to stay.

San Teodoro, Orosei, Villasimius, Isola Carloforte? Departing from Cagliari; how many nights would you recommend staying there?

Will reserve rental car prior to arrival, as well as hotel 1st and last night. Should I make hotel reservations in advance for the rest of trip? September is a busy month and may be more so this year.

TYIA!

We had a short stay in Modena a few years ago, and we (American couple in their 60’s) decided we wanted to go back and stay a month.

We plan to rent an apartment and spend our days exploring. Hoping to find a nice market and buy fresh food to make some of our own meals, but want to try a lot of restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

We could rent a car, but haven’t decided on that - we’re thinking bicycles and walking and busses or trains for most of the stay.

Any advice? We’re thinking May/June, but are flexible.

Looking for suggestions for nighttime dining in the Pantheon/ Navona area. I would like authentic restaurants that have either inside dining with interesting ambiance (brick vaulted ceilings, medieval features, etc or just plain cozy! ) or outside with great people watching and comfortable seating. Ambiance is top priority along with an authentic menu. Cost not at important as atmosphere. I always like to make a reservation for the first night in a new area then discover the rest of the restaurants as we walk during the following days. Suggestions?

I am planning a visit with my two history and food interested grand-daughters (19-20). What would be the best area to stay ? The Piazza Billini area ? Or near the central station to visit Pompeii ?

I have looked at the top question "where to stay in Naples" but things may have changed during the last 5 years.

Hello,

looking to stay in both - would like to stay at least 1 night in Arbellobello - can someone recommend a trulli to stay in?

also looking to stay at masseria - preferably that has a farm/olive/wine on site, i think in Ostuni area, there are so many of them that i kind of lost in choices, can someone recommend one they stayed please

most likely last week of September - first week of October 2021. will have a car

thank you

We are coming to the east coast of sicily in August. Have been looking at Taormina as a base bit wondering if its too touristy as a base destination? Prefer smaller towns. Loved Cefalu 😍. Can anyone recommend a town to stay? Many thanks

We are ending our stay in Sicily in Taormina. We will be there for 3 nights. We are flying out of the airport in Catania, not until almost 10 pm. So my question is, stay in Taormina for the day, head to the airport later, get charged an extra day for the car. Or turn the car in early and do some sightseeing in Catania? If the latter, suggestions? I would prefer to check our bags early as to not worry about luggage storage. So we'd be sightseeing to and from the airport. Thanks!

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 😊
