The stunning island of Sardinia has a landscape made up of picture-perfect beaches and lush scenery that ensures it is a popular destination among both those who merely want to lounge on the beaches and those who want to stay active with water sports, hiking, and more. If you are one of those visitors who has found a villa in Sardinia and ends up delving into the Sardinian countryside, you might happen to stumble upon some incredibly unique structures, ancient cone-shaped ruins called nurgahi. Steeped in mystery and uncertainty, these ruins are what remains from the period between 1900 and 730BC, which has been named the Nuragic Age. This is the period in which the Nuragic Civilisation, named after these buildings, occupied the island. 

Located just a stone’s throw from the seafront of the beautiful port town of Palermo, one will find the city’s stunning 18th century botanical gardens that are one of the must-see spots on the whole island for garden and plant-lovers who find a villa in Sicily.

Italy might not be the first place that leaps to mind for many when they think of surfing but given just how much coastline the country boasts – both along the mainland and on all of the countless islands off the coast – it makes sense that there are some excellent spots to surf while on vacation in Italy. Those who find a villa in Sardinia, in particular, will find that there are lots of brilliant surf spots to enjoy pretty much year round along the 1,849km of this stunning island’s coastline.

The famously beautiful beaches of Sardinia are not only wonderful gems for working on your tan, splashing around and having fun, swimming, snorkelling, and various other water sports but they also offer small to medium waves around 300 days out of the year, something that even many more famous surfing destinations find hard to compete with! Along the west coast of the island, you’ll find strong winds that make it a hotspot for another kind of surfing, kite-surfing, but areas along this stretch are also sought out by the more experienced surfers for the bigger waves that can be on offer.
