Sardinia, called Sardegna in Italian, has a landscape of dramatic rolling uplands in the interior, covered in 'macchia', grassland mingled with myrtle, wild thyme, dwarf oaks and prickly pears.This is in complete contrast to the transfixing coastline adjacent to translucent turquoise water, with isolated coves, long white sandy beaches, and caves. The Gennargentu mountains reach 1,834 m in the interior and shelter many rural villages. These mountains fall away in the north east towards Sardinia's most exclusive coastline, the Costa Smeralda.
Sardinia is an ideal for people wanting to rent self catering vacation accommodation, Sardinia villas and Sardinia apartments. For many holidaymakers, and for a part of the European jetset, Sardinia consists of the world famous Costa Smeralda in the Northwest, with its dazzling white beaches, and of the knowledge that many celebrities visit the island.
