Hello! I’m Claudia, and I was born and raised in Sardinia, the most beautiful island in the Mediterranea,n and a place I still call home. I am a full-time travel blogger and a certified travel designer, and I am here to help you plan your Sardinia holidays.
Whether you are looking for a relaxing break, a long-weekend getaway, an all-girls road trip, a family adventure, or especially if you want a trip to Sardinia that is packed with nature, adventure or culture, I am here for you!
Sardinia is the second biggest island in the Mediterranean, with lots to see and do. You’ll find beautiful cities and quaint villages; paradisiac beaches and gorgeous mountains; unique archeological sites; fabulous wines you’ll want to bring home; and delicious food and welcoming people.
If you love the idea of visiting Sardinia but aren’t a fan of trip planning, especially if it is your first trip to Sardinia, I can help you make sure you create an itinerary that will help you make the most of it.
WHY PICK ME?
I was born and raised in Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, and although I love traveling, this is where I always come back to, where my family and friends live, and the place I most enjoy exploring. Not only do I love exploring my backyard, I also love letting the world know how beautiful it is – hence my blog – and I want to make sure you fall in love with it.
That’s why I created this blog, and why I decided to put my travel designing skills to your service to help you plan your Sardinia holidays.
Here are my areas of expertise:
- Road Trips – because my island is best explored by car or motorbike.
- Public Transport – in case you are not a fan of driving.
- Money Saving Hacks – because Sardinia doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg.
- Fabulous Beaches – you won’t see more beautiful beaches anywhere in the world.
- Hiking, Nature, and Adventure – the hiking trails of Sardinia are calling your name.
- Local Food.
- Wine.
- Archeological sites.
- Festivals.
- Accommodation – from holiday resorts to hotels and Airbnbs, I can help you find the best places to stay on the island.
You can read more about me here, and you can browse around my site for inspiration. If you want to request my Sardinia holidays planning services, send me an email at [email protected]
You can always count on me being honest – much like all Sardinians are! I won’t recommend places I wouldn’t visit myself; I won’t suggest hotels where I wouldn’t sleep myself; and I will let you know if I think the itinerary you came up with is too hectic.
Here’s what other travelers have said about my services:
We set up a consultation with Claudia in preparation for our upcoming trip to Sardinia. She listened patiently as we shared our “must see” ideas and provided fantastic feedback based on her expertise. In her follow-up email, she provided multiple levels of recommendations which gave us an opportunity to look across these offerings and decide what would be our best bookings. I also loved that she provided links to everything she was talking about. The hour that we spent talking and her very timely post chat email saved us countless hours, while still allowing us to feel like we had the joy of researching options. Do not hesitate to use Strictly Sardinia and Claudia’s services!
Best blog and best investment before our trip! This is what I’m always looking for: a local point of view. It made our trip easier, and everyday was an amazing experience – no bad decisions or tourist traps. August is busy in Sardinia, but we even managed to find few spots just for the 5 of us. Pure bliss. 100% recommend getting the insights before going to Sardinia. Distances are sometimes short, but can take long. So knowing where to go makes your trip a real vacation! Thanks Claudia.
Claudia had been an incredible source for our success in our trip to Sardinia. We’ve loved the island and just enjoyed maybe our best pizza ever thanks to Claudia.
Option 1: Sardinia Travel Consultation
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your Sardinia trip planning? Do you have an idea of the kind of experience you’d like to have, but can’t come up with a decision on where to base yourself? Want to talk to a local to exchange ideas? Then this is the best option for you.
In addition to the information on this site and in our Facebook community, I am also available for private Sardinia travel consultations.
We can set up an online meeting that will give you the opportunity to receive one-on-one, tailored advice about your upcoming trip to Sardinia — especially if it’s your first time visiting.
Use the calendar below to find the most suitable date for our online meeting and book your call.
To make the most of your session, make sure you prepare a list of questions and send them to [email protected]. This will help me prepare for our meeting. If you have a rough itinerary, make sure to send that too – I will make sure to read it before our session.
Your Sardinia travel consultation will include:
Uninterrupted time with Claudia, the founder of Strictly Sardinia, an experienced travel consultant and travel writer. This consultation session will be private for you/your travel group. I will share a link that will allow everyone in the group to join on their own device. We will work on creating a personalized itinerary, and I will share my local knowledge and answer your questions.
A follow-up email with all my suggestions.
Let me stress that I will not book hotels and activities on your behalf. I can share links so that you can book independently.
You can literally ask whatever comes to mind. Here are some examples:
Best beaches in Sardinia
Best activities in Sardinia
Hidden gems
Best hikes
Where to stay
What’s the best rental car company
What to pack
I may not have the answer to everything, but I will do my best to help!
With my knowledge of Sardinia, you can rest assured that your itinerary will make logistical sense, and you will avoid spending unnecessary time driving, and get to spend more time enjoying the island.
It depends! Factors you should consider are:
How long are you thinking of spending in Sardinia?
How prepared is your Sardinia itinerary already?
How much detail do you wish to have?
How many general questions do you have?
You can also book an initial consultancy, and then we can schedule a follow-up call if you have more questions.
€245 + VAT (*EU purchases only) per hour. The price includes the one-hour call and the follow-up email with full itinerary.
*Advanced payment required by credit card
Check out the Sardinian travel consultation page for more information.

It’s very simple.

Pick whichever itinerary appears to be the best one for your needs.
Once you make the payment, you will be able to download the e-book in PDF format. You can save it and keep it on your desktop, tablet, or smartphone to consult whenever you want.

Option 3: Full Itinerary Planning
The best option if all you know is that you want to visit Sardinia, but can’t be bothered with planning your trip and would rather have an expert do that for you.
It takes a lot of effort, research, and even insider knowledge to be able to draft a logical and balanced itinerary for a trip, even more so if you are traveling to Sardinia!
You may be able to use Google Maps to know how to get from A to B, but you won’t know the intricacies of Sardinian roads, and as such, it’s hard to know what you can realistically fit into a limited amount of time.
Furthermore, it is time-consuming to go through hotel websites, check out opening hours for attractions, pick the best tours, find local guides, and good local restaurants.
If you don’t have the time and energy to plan your Sardinia trip, but want a personalized holiday here in Sardinia, I can help.
My full itinerary service is meant to help with the planning and the logistics, so that you enjoy your vacation stress-free.
First of all, send an email to [email protected].
After getting your email requesting that I draft a full itinerary for your Sardinia holidays, I will send you a detailed questionnaire that will help me better understand your travel style, interests, and tastes. I will thus be able to understand what you are hoping to get out of your trip. I will also ask when you are looking to travel, so that I can make sure to have the itinerary ready nice and early.
Once I am sure I can help, I will send you my invoice for payment.
Here are the main things I need to know:
When you are considering visiting Sardinia.
How long are you looking to travel for?
Whether you are traveling alone or in a group.
Your budget.
Your style of travel and preferred accommodation options.
Don’t worry: I will send you a full list of questions, and if I ever have doubts, I will send you an email with further questions.
Your itinerary consists of a detailed PDF guide containing:
A day-by-day itinerary, including the attractions to visit (beaches, archaeological sites, small towns, wineries, etc.), best driving routes, and driving distances.
Seasonal/weather alternatives.
A selection of accommodation options and links to book your stay.
Contacts of local guides, local tour companies, and direct links to book tours and attractions.
Car rental suggestions.
At least a restaurant recommendation for any place you are visiting or, if necessary, tips on where to buy food.
Insightful local tips and hacks.
Delivery of your itinerary will be within two weeks from the moment I receive the order. For rush orders (one week or less), there will be a surcharge of 25% of the final cost.
This service costs €595 + VAT (*EU purchases only) for itineraries up to 7 days.
An additional €45 + VAT (*EU purchases only) is applied per day for longer trips.
*Advanced payment required via bank wire.
It depends on where you are looking to travel.
If you are planning on visiting Sardinia in the peak summer season (June to mid-September), I recommend sending your request at least 6 months in advance to ensure better availability.
If, on the other hand, you are visiting Sardinia in the off-season (for example, in October, or in the winter), 3 months are usually enough.
I can’t, sorry. I am not a travel agent, and I can’t book flights. Likewise, I am unable to book your hotels and transportation. But don’t worry: I will share all the links that will make booking extremely easy.
Of course. If you’d like to further explain your ideas and make sure that I am the right person to plan your Sardinia trip, you can book a Sardinia travel consultation with me. I will discount the cost of the consultation against the price of the itinerary design if you decide to go ahead.

Option 5: Itinerary Review
The best option if you have already planned your Sardinia holidays and have a detailed itinerary, knowing how long you want to travel for and the route you want to follow, the places you want to visit, etc.; but you need an expert to double check if it is actually sensible, doable or if you need to review it – I can do that for you.
Let’s say you have already drafted your ideal itinerary for your Sardinia trip, but there are some aspects you aren’t too sure about.
I can help with my itinerary review service, meant for even more independent travelers who enjoy researching and planning their trips.
Send me your request for an itinerary review via email at [email protected]. In your request, specify how long you are planning to spend in Sardinia.
After payment, I will ask you to send me your detailed itinerary.
An itinerary that is unique to you – it’s ok if you have created it, or if you have adapted it from planning tools.
A clear day-by-day format that includes all the daily activities you are planning, places you wish to visit for every day of your trip, and anything else that is relevant.
Be clear on whatever aspects of your trip you are unsure of, so that I can deliver a review that is best tailored to your needs and interests.
If I realize you don’t have much of an itinerary planned, I may suggest you use my itinerary planning services.
€295 + VAT (*EU purchases only) for itineraries of up to 7 days.
An additional €15 + VAT (*EU purchases only) per day for longer trips.
*Advanced payment required via bank wire.
Delivery of your itinerary will be within two weeks from the moment I receive the order. For rush orders (one week or less), there will be a surcharge of 25% of the final cost.
Option 6: Accommodation Consultancy
This is a great in-between option, perfect if you need help picking your ideal location and finding the best accommodation option for your trip, but you are happy to look for your activities.
Are you not sure where to stay in Sardinia? Can’t pick between the south or the north of Sardinia as the base of your trip? Can’t decide between a small holiday apartment or a resort by the beach?
Sounds like you need my accommodation consultancy.
Send me a request via email at [email protected].
After payment, I will send you a short questionnaire to get a better idea of your travel style and interests. It’s important I get an accurate idea of:
How long do you plan to spend in Sardinia?
How do you wish to move around – by public transport or by car?
Your set budget for your accommodation.
Any place you absolutely wish to visit.
I will put together a selection of the best places to stay based on your budget, in each destination you wish to use as a base. I will share links to the best booking platforms so you can book independently.
If you are visiting more than one destination, I will also share recommendations on how long to stay at each destination (based on the duration of your trip).
€195 + VAT (*EU purchases only) for up to 2 locations.
An additional €35 + VAT (*EU purchases only) per further location.
*Advanced payment required via bank wire.
Delivery of your accommodation review will be within three weeks from the moment I receive the order. For rush orders (one week or less), there will be a surcharge of 25% of the final cost.
Not sure which option to pick, or are you looking for help with something else before your trip? Send me an email to [email protected], and we can figure out my fees and how I can help you.

I will share any local tips and recommendations that are based on my experience or research, any time I deem relevant. I will provide itinerary suggestions to help you plan your perfect Sardinia holidays. You will need to book your flights, accommodation, car rental, public transportation, day trips, restaurants, etc. You are responsible for researching your visa requirements, travel insurance, etc.
The itinerary you will receive reflects availability at the time of the research and cannot be guaranteed after the itinerary is submitted. I will recommend any transportation, attraction, beach, or place that must be booked in advance. In general, I recommend you book your flights and accommodation as early as possible for better prices and full availability.
If you aren’t able to travel at the intended time and need to reschedule your trip, you can still use the suggested itinerary. If you need further help with the itinerary because of the rescheduling, I am happy to offer you a discounted consultancy rate.
Once you receive your itinerary or itinerary review, we can set up a one-hour call for any additional questions. If you need changes to your itinerary, I will send you a quote for any additional hours I will be working on it.
Please make sure to consult the website of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia for updated information on requirements to visit Sardinia.
I decline any responsibility for problems you may encounter during your Sardinia holidays with your transportation, accommodation, restaurants, attractions, and anything else that may go wrong during your trip.
