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.

Plenty of people prefer to travel outside of the summer months or, even, travel multiple times throughout the year and if you've been thinking of planning a vacation in Italy then a fall getaway is just the thing. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Italy as you can often find bargains when it comes to the cost of travel and accommodation, the tourist crowds get smaller, the weather becomes less intensely hot as summer ends, and the variety of the landscape and climate of Italy means that there are holiday options to suit everyone, no matter what kind of vacation they are after. From hiking in the Alps to lying out on perfect beaches to taking in some of the world's prettiest cities and landscapes at their most beautiful, there are all sorts of incredible experiences to be had and memories to be made while exploring Italy this fall. Here is our guide to the best holiday destinations for those considering an autumnal trip in Italy this year.

While a vacation in Italy is all about culture, good food, and incredible natural surroundings and a holiday in Sardinia, in particular, is all about amazing beaches and the uniquely Sardinian heritage and way of life, there is always much more to any destination than its most obvious and famous attractions. For example, there are plenty of fun adventures, theme parks, and kid-friendly activities that can be enjoyed all over Italy and that often fly under the radar of those who are focused on the country's more well-known attributes. If you have found a villa in Sardinia, are spending time exploring this magical part of Italy, and are looking for attractions that are a little less obvious, a lot of fun, and perfect for kids (and the young at heart) then an afternoon splashing around and playing at Splash Aquapark is just the thing!

Bronte is not just the surname of a famous family of authors but is also the name of the town in Sicily that is well-known for one of its culinary outputs: the delicious pistachio. There are plenty of other reasons to choose a luxury villa in Sicily and enjoying the foodie delights of the region is one of the most important among them! Once you have found a villa in Sicily and are exploring the wonders of the island, including those of the culinary variety, be sure to head to Bronte to try some of the town's, “green gold.”

Imagine, if you will, perfectly white, soft sand meeting crystal-clear, sparkling depths that range in hue from azure to deep green depending on the day. Oh, and on those sands, looking out into that impossibly beautiful sea, is a group of beige, cream, and tan cows, all laid out and enjoying the beach.

This is the picturesque sight that you can reasonably expect to behold for yourself should you find a vacation rental in Sardinia and plan a day at the truly singular and unique Spiaggia di Berchida, or Berchida Beach, located near Siniscola in the Province of Nuoro in East Sardinia.
