Sardinia is a destination that many associate with buzzing, hot summer days, soft sandy beaches, and perfectly aquarmarine waters. However, a vacation rental in Sardinia during the autumn months is also a great idea if you are not a big fan of scorching weather and tourist crowds. If you're looking for milder, but still pleasantly warm, days at the beach and perfect weather to get out and explore, hike, and discover all that there is to Sardinia beyond her famous beaches then a fall getaway might be just the thing for you. If you want space to enjoy the stunning scenery of the island without having to compete with other travellers then an autumnal trip to Sardinia is probably a good idea. And, certainly, if you love your food, then a villa in Sardinia this fall is where you want to be! There are lots of reasons to plan a trip to Sardinia, in general, but here are some great ones to do so in the next couple of months.
1. The weather is perfectly pleasant
Temperatures in Sardinia in the fall remain pretty high with the average temperature in being 24°C in October and around 19°C in November. For many, this is perfectly warm, particularly compared to temperatures back home for a big chunk of the world at that time of year. In addition, water temperatures remain around 20°, making days at the beach still possible during the fall and early winter in Sardinia. If you're after a bit of sun as the year wanes but you're not a big fan of incredibly hot weather then Sardinia really is, as Goldilocks might say, “just right.”

2. It is the best time of year to hike in Sardinia
Though her lovely beaches are famous, the rest of the landscape of Sardinia is similarly beautiful: lush, diverse, and topped by some dramatic peaks. Said peaks are well worth exploring and Sardinia is actually a wonderful hiking destination. However, coming to explore her trails during the hotter part of the year is not ideal. As such, if you really want to enjoy the beauty of Sardinia, take in some majestic views, and experience some incredible hikes, then a vacation in Sardinia in the fall is probably a good idea. Still pleasantly warm, as we noted, but not dramatically so, it is truly the best time of year to hike in Sardinia.
