Costa Smeralda - One of the most visited and stylish destinations of the island, it is located on the east side of Sardinia and encloses its luxurious spirit. Porto Cervo is a real paradise for the international jet set and definitively worth a visit. Despite the strong presence of luxury resorts and yachts in the area, this coast is outstandingly beautiful, with its bays of white sands and turquoise sea, sheltered by rocky headlands that contributes to preserve the wild essence of the island.
Alghero - Visit the historic center and walk around the fortified walls, to admire its great defensive towers. Turn into the tangle of cobbled lanes to reach the very heart of the town, with its cathedral and the small shops. Alghero is the hometown of Antonio Marras, one of the most important Italian fashion designers.
Nuoro and Orgosolo - Nuoro is the most important city of central Sardinia and a place where the visitors can fully appreciate the local culture. Here you can see locals wearing typical costumes or working in a craft shop trying to keep up the traditions. Once you are visiting central Sardinia, visit Orgosolo, famous for its Murales – political paintings scattered across the walls of the city.
Cagliari - The most vibrant city of southern Sardinia, its picturesque and historical districts with sea views, elegant shopping streets and panoramic terraces, including the Bastione di Santa Croce, are just a few of the city’s attractions. Visit the Castello quarter to breath a magical air of history, boasting ancient bastions and small streets lined by grand old homes and majestic churches, such as Cathedral of Santa Maria.
San Pietro and Carloforte - In the far west of Sardinia on the island of San Pietro, Carloforte was founded by Ligurian fishermen in 1738. Whitewashed and pastel houses with terracotta roofs line the narrow winding alleyways of the old town, where countless stairs lead you to the maze of streets of the Castle district.
Textiles from Oristano - Oristano is Sardinia’s smallest province, yet is one of the island’s beating hearts, home to some of the most breathtaking natural scenery and small hamlets steeped in history. Here you can discover the history of Sardinian carpet making: at Tessile Medusa and Mariantonia Urru’s workshop each piece is manufactured using long-established techniques, including some that were almost forgotten.
Masks from Mamoiada - Mamoiada is renowned for its handcrafted masks made by local artisans, such as Lumeras. The hamlet hosts one of the most stunning and thrilling Carnivals of Italy, profoundly rooted in the most ancient folklore of the island.
Ceramics from Olbia - Here, Cerasarda was founded by Prince Karim Aga Khan and in 1963 as “la Ceramica Della Costa Smeralda”, distinguishing itself for the exquisite work of local craftsmen whose vibrant enamel colors and refined decorations evoke the iconic landscape of Sardinia's Emerald Coast.
