I think I ate my weight in pizza...

For a while now, I have been "ooo-ing" and "ahhh-ing" at the idea of traveling to Sardinia. Between it's majestic beaches, untouched landscape, and endless sunshine, I knew it had "Megan Wallander" written all over it. So, off we went! 

We arrived early (as usual) after connecting through London. I had prearranged a car service (as I always do) prior to arrival--no one likes hunting for a taxi when you're jet-lagged--so we just hopped out of Customs and it was off to the hotel! Once we arrived, I knew this was it...

We spent six glorious nights at the Hotel Capo d'Orso, which is about an hour from the airport in Olbia and right on the coast. It boasts incredible sea views, lush landscaping, and a very private atmosphere. When I booked it, I was initially a little bit nervous because technically, the hotel isn't adults-only. However, you'd be crazy to bring kids here--there's nothing for them to do. This is a place to go to sit by the pool, sunbathe, have a large lunch, an Aperol Spritz and DO NOTHING. Needless to say, we didn't have any kid-issues while we were there--thankfully! 

On the Saturday we were there, we booked a half-day morning boat tour around the Maddalena Archipelago, which is a national park region of islands right off the coast of where our hotel was. IT. IS. GORGEOUS. The beaches are white sand, crystal blue and the water is insane--it rivals the Caribbean. The morning of the tour, it was a little cloudy out, so the hotel re-booked us on the full day your for free! Had they not done this, our tour would have been cancelled and we wouldn't have seen anything. 

Now, for some "cons"--I use quotations because you really can't complain about much when you're enjoying a Mediterranean Island. There is very little to do on the island. We hired a car one day for a few hours and saw some towns (including the world-famous Porto Cervo) and there really wasn't much. The island itself is the second largest in the Mediterranean (after Sicily) but there are only a million inhabitants. Therefore, everything is really spread out and there isn't much. For relaxing and doing nothing, it's great. For sightseeing and shopping, not so much. On that same note, I did have some issues with English while I was there. Being that the island is relatively remote and small (population-wise) this makes sense. You just have to be prepared and get creative. 

All in all, it's a fantastic place. The people are friendly, the weather is amazing and the landscape provides for some unbelievable views everywhere you go. If you're looking for somewhere to unplug and reconnect with your partner, eat some great food, and do nothing, it's an awesome option.
