Posted by on

HI Folks,

Would love to some input, trying to decide on a beautiful relaxing 5-6 nights looking for turquoise waters and a very relaxed vibe without too many crowds so far, had Sardinia at the top, and was thinking to go from Sicily to there, but open to other suggestions and please share any experiences, also mindful as our itinerary is quite large.
Fly into Rome
3 nights in Rome.
1. Amalfi 4 nights ( 2 nights in Ravello, 2 nights in minori/Cetara)
2. Taormina 3 nights
3. Fly to Sardinia 6 nights or somewhere beautiful and relaxing with incredible swimming water.
4. Fly or overnight ferry to Genoa
5. Camogli 3 nights
6. Provence in France 5 nights ( seeing family here)
7. Tuscany 12 days. ( have to end there as we have a concert , have booked a villa for 5 nights, and Agriturismo for the rest)
Fly out from Rome.

We visited Sardinia about this time last year, as a side trip from rainy London. We were going for food, a religious festival, and archaeological sights, not beach time, but we did get as far north as Bosa, which has massive surfing waves, not relaxing swimming waters. This was in April, of course, so maybe that’s a seasonal thing, and there weren’t a ton of people, but it looked like there were condos that could’ve handled more visitors.

I understand that popular beaches are farther north and northeast, but I can’t provide any personal observations about relaxation potential, or crowds. We flew to/from Cagliari, and rented a car. I understand there are good beaches on the south end of Sardinia, southeast of Cagliari, but, again, didn’t go there on this trip.

I’ve been to Sicily three times, and now Sardinia once, but not yet to any of the other three places you mention in the title.
