The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Sardinia, Italy
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

We were only here for wine tasting so the review is not on the hotel and food. We came by this place for an organised wine tasting that lasted about 1 hour. Call in advance to reserve and check the times for the tasting. For 17 eur we got to tase 4 wines, cheese and charcuterie and olive oil. The woman gave a very good explanation of the vineyard, how they work, the region and the wines. A very nice tasting and some of the wines I likes the most in the region. This place is a small producer which makes the experince very nice. Very good value for money on their wines and olive oil. Only complaint is that they could not ship bottles abroad so I could not buy as much as I wanted... recommended!

Our visit happened on a rainy day, and we were not expecting an exciting visit from the museum located in this quiet corner of Sardegna - wow! We were confronted with a very friendly guide, and an involving story of ancient cultures and their open attitude towards each other. We discovered many interesting details of the life lead hundreds of years b.C. and left our visit inspired and happy - definitely a must-see for anyone who is travelling in this area of Sardegna! Small bonus: there is a very friendly cat who follows around along with the guided tour, and who enjoys cuddles. Thank you to the attentive and welcoming staff of the museum!

Very interesting visit. The site is beautiful and everything is very well explained. I would advise to do the tour with a guide because it allows you to understand in much more detail and to ask questions. Andrea was an excellent guide!

Best wild beach and sea we have ever been to in Europe, direct access from hotel. Good service and great food. Rooms will benefit from refurbishment which is scheduled for 20/21. Overall an amazing spot and experience.

10. Porto Flavia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 747 reviews
Porto Flavia is one of Sardegna’s wonders. This extraordinary monument of industrial archaeology looms over an enchanting coastline, gifting visitors with a breathtaking vista of the thousand-shaded blue Masua sea, and on the evocative Pan di Zucchero sea stacks, a natural monument 133 metres (440 ft) tall. A genuine engineering masterpiece which improved miners’ life condition and reduced mineral transportation times and costs. The port was given its name by engineer Cesare Vecelli. He gave the port his daughter’s name. The port was operational until the 1960s.

I was lucky enough to walk-in on an off season day, and got in without reservation. I took the tour in Italian (being my first language), and the guide was excellent. (There was a tour in English, but I cannot vouch for that). Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, and her presentation was informative and pleasant (not mechanical as some guides who memorize the information). The parking area is just before and you have to walk a couple of minutes to the entrance. There is a food truck for snacks, sandwiches and drinks. I did not visit the public toilets but watched some other visitors not being impressed and turning away.
