Sardinia has gorgeous beaches perfect for a fun day in the sun and many hiking trails calling all adventure and nature lovers; there are unique archeological sites and many festivals; you’ll find beautiful cities and quaint villages, as well as millenary cultural traditions, festivals and events. Our food is full of flavor food and our wines win international prizes: this is Sardinia.
This site will inspire you to visit Sardinia and discover all that it has to offer, and to always carry it in your heart.
Why Strictly Sardinia?
A popular summer holiday destinations for Italians, Sardinia is still relatively unknown to international tourism. Those who know about it mistakenly think that it’s only a beach destination. The ones who express an interest think that 3 or 4 days are more than enough to visit.
I created Strictly Sardinia to fill in the informative gap on Sardinia, and it became a useful resource about Sardinia. My site shows that Sardinia is more than just beaches; and raises interest on its marvelous landscape and unique culture.
Strictly Sardinia helps anybody who wants to visit get reliable, updated information and resources to plan their trip and make the most of their stay. It is the best resource to plan your trip to Sardinia, read by hundreds of thousands of people each year. It’s incredible how many people I have helped plan their trip here, and how many I have inspired!
Over the years, my advice has been featured in a number of publications including EuroNews, the Express, Times of India, The Sun. I was even mentioned by The Nasa! I have also collaborated to the writing and updating of travel guides such as the DK Eyewitness Sardinia, and on documentaries and TV shows on Sardinia (more will be disclosed soon).
More importantly, I’ve helped my readers plan their dream trip to Sardinia and create unforgettable memories with their families and friends. I hope to help you do the same.

More about me
I have lived overseas for ten years- in Lancaster (United Kingdom), Boulder and Denver (Colorado), New York City, Geneva (Switzerland) and Colchester (United Kingdom). I have a PhD in International Human Rights Law from the University of Essex, and worked in academia and as a consultant for major NGOs. But one day, I decided it was time to move back to Cagliari.
Initially, I continued working as a researcher on international human rights law at the University of Cagliari and with Italian NGOs, but when my contract expired in 2013 I knew I wasn’t committed to academia, and decided to pursue my biggest dream: a long term trip across Central and South America.
After 5 months of traveling, I went back home because I needed a tonsillectomy. When I woke up from the anesthesia, very much in pain, I told my parents there was no way I was ever going back to academia, and that I wanted to work in tourism.
And sure enough I worked hard to make my dream come true.
It’s been more than 11 years since that day, and I have visited many countries since. But I always love coming back home to my beloved Sardinia. Which is why I have an entire site dedicated to it.
Famous for its stunning beaches, Sardinia is the ultimate summer holiday destination in Europe. But beaches are not the only thing that should attract you here! Visit Sardinia to hike the many hiking trails; to explore the beautiful small towns and villages; to experience the many festivals such as Sa Sartiglia and Sant’Efisio. Come to Sardinia to enjoy the delicious food and wine.
You will soon realize that Sardinia deserves more than a quick visit.
