Your Private Journey

Privacy, Beauty, and a Rhythm That Never Feels Managed

A week in Sardinia for two, shaped around a simple idea. You’ll stay where the sea is the first thing you see and the last thing you hear. Days begin slowly — espresso on a terrace, light plans, no rush — then open into experiences that are deliberately hard to replicate without real relationships on the island.

This is not the Sardinia of crowded beach clubs and obvious itineraries. It’s the island as it exists behind the scenes: family cellars where the best bottles are kept for friends, kitchens where tradition is technique rather than performance, and stretches of coastline locals don’t advertise because they don’t need to.

Everything is handled with a light, precise touch. Your concierge manages the logistics — drivers, timings, reservations, sea conditions — so the journey feels seamless, not scheduled. The outcome is the rarest kind of luxury: you feel completely looked after, and yet entirely free.

The Shape of the Trip

Your Sardinian Days, in Four Notes

A journey built on beauty, calm, and the sense that the island hasn’t been over-explained to visitors.

I

Where You Stay

Characterful properties we know personally — real standards, calm service, and the right setting: sea-facing on the coast, or tucked into a silent countryside.

II

Sea & Shoreline

Clear turquoise bays, pale sand, and stretches of coast that still feel unspoiled — beach days timed so they feel spacious, not busy.

III

Food & Wine

The island’s real flavors — simple, precise, seasonal — paired with the bottles that matter: Vermentino and Cannonau, with the people who make them.

IV

Private Experiences

Several perfectly spaced moments — a winery visit that feels like a welcome, a table held at the right hour, a guide who knows when to let the landscape speak.

Arrival at your Costa Smeralda hotel
Day 1

Arrival & Settling In

Arrive in Olbia and step straight into your holiday rhythm — no waiting, no logistics, no friction. The first night is kept simple on purpose.

Private Airport Transfer

Your driver meets you on landing and takes you to the Costa Smeralda in quiet comfort — or collect a rental car and drive at your own pace.

Check-in at Your Hotel

Your accommodation is chosen for atmosphere as much as standards: privacy, service, and a setting that immediately feels like Sardinia. Unpack, walk the grounds, find your view.

Evening at Leisure

A first aperitivo, a soft sunset, and an easy dinner — at the hotel or a nearby place we trust, reserved at the right time. Your concierge is on hand, but the evening is yours.

Day 2

Costa Smeralda, Seen Well + A Serious Vermentino

A day of contrast: polished coastline in the morning, then wine with depth — Gallura’s granite, herbs, and salt air in a glass.

Porto Cervo, Costa Smeralda

Morning on the Emerald Coast

Explore Costa Smeralda with a private guide who knows how to time it properly — scenic roads, quiet viewpoints, and corners that still feel untouched. Porto Cervo is there for a little glamour, but the real luxury is the landscape: sculpted granite, bright coves, and that distinctive clean light.

Vermentino di Gallura wine tasting

Private Wine Tasting

In the afternoon, a family-run estate in Gallura for a tasting of Vermentino di Gallura DOCG — the island’s most celebrated white. Private, unhurried, and guided by someone who can explain what you’re drinking without theatrics.

Sunset dinner overlooking the sea

Evening, at Your Pace

Back at the hotel, time to reset — pool, spa, or a quiet view. Dinner is your choice: the hotel for ease, or one of our trusted tables nearby for something more local and intimate. Perhaps a small digestif under the stars.

Day 3

Slow Morning, Sea Time, Beach-Club Evening

No early starts today. Breakfast on your terrace, a slow swim, and let the day arrive gently.

Morning at Leisure

Breakfast on the terrace, a slow swim, and time that arrives gently. If you’re using a rental car, explore the coast at will.

Beach Time

Choose a stretch of Costa Smeralda that matches your mood — soft sand and calm shallows, or a dramatic cove with granite and deeper water. We’ll point you to the right beach for the hour, so it feels spacious and easy.

Evening at a Famous Beach Club

As the light turns golden, head to one of the coast’s iconic beach clubs — elegant, lively, and very Sardinia. A good table, a well-made cocktail, and dinner that’s more than “scene.”

Day 4

La Maddalena Archipelago by Yacht

La Maddalena is a national marine park of 68 islands and islets, only 7 inhabited — one of the most beautiful places in Sardinia to spend a full day on the water. If weather allows we take the day by boat; if not, a private tour by ferry and car, with a visit to Garibaldi’s house on Caprera.

Private Yacht Charter

A day on a private boat through the archipelago — protected national-park waters, often clear enough to see more than ten meters down.

Hidden Island Treasures

Stop at quiet beaches and sculptural granite rocks as you move between the paradise islands. Most of the area stays calm and undeveloped, and the beaches are spectacular.

Tropical Waters

Swim and snorkel in clear water, with Posidonia meadows below and small fish all around. White sand and blue-green sea give parts of the archipelago a Caribbean feel — without leaving Sardinia.

Day 5

Gallura Inland

Inland through Gallura, where cork oak woods, pale granite outcrops, and long empty bends keep changing shape without ever feeling hurried. The interior has a stubborn, lived-in quiet to it.

Rural Countryside & Village Discovery

Stop in small stone villages where laundry hangs over narrow lanes and the church square is the busiest place in town. Olive groves, sheepfolds, and small parish collections never polished into a tourist show.

Local Wine & Food Experience

Sit down in a stazzu, the traditional Gallura house, for Vermentino or a red from the nearby hills. Pecorino, warm bread, and pasta with a sauce that tastes of the kitchen — served by people who know the producers by name.

Cork Oak Forest & Artisan Stop

A short stop in a cork oak forest, then a small workshop carving cork, weaving baskets, or shaping a shepherd’s knife. Nothing feels staged — you watch the hands, ask a few questions, and leave with something made for use.

Day 6

A Day on the Water — Corsica by Private Yacht

Just a short crossing from the Costa Smeralda, Corsica feels like a different world. A private yacht charter to explore the islands and coastline that straddle the border between Italy and France.

Morning Departure

Set off by boat from the Emerald Coast, heading north through the Strait of Bonifacio. The hour-long crossing — granite cliffs, hidden coves, open sea — is half the experience.

Lavezzi & Cavallo Islands

Stop at the Lavezzi Islands, a protected reserve with some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Snorkel, swim, or just float. Nearby Cavallo is a discreet private island — a good spot to anchor and take a dip.

Bonifacio, or Lunch on the Water

Option A: dock at Bonifacio and explore the old town on its white limestone cliffs with a private guide, then Corsican lunch — charcuterie, brocciu, slow-cooked stews. Option B: stay on the water and anchor off Cavallo for a long, gourmet waterfront lunch with Corsican rosé.

Afternoon & Return

Head back in the late afternoon, arriving in time for a sunset aperitivo back at the hotel.

Day 7

Leisure & Your Choice

A day that belongs entirely to the two of you — pure rest, or one last quietly extraordinary table.

Beach & Spa Time

A blissful day unwinding on Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches, followed by indulgent spa treatments using local ingredients like myrtle and olive oil. The perfect day of pure relaxation.

Michelin-Starred Dinner

An optional reservation at a charming Michelin-starred countryside restaurant showcasing Sardinia’s finest ingredients and culinary traditions.

Day 8

Arrivederci, Sardinia

A last slow morning by the sea, then a smooth departure — with the island already calling you back.

Final Island Morning

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel and a little more time to take in the view before you leave.

Hotel Check-out

Complete your check-out process at your own pace, with everything arranged in advance.

Private Airport Transfer

Your private driver transports you to Olbia airport in comfort for your departure flight.

Everything Arranged
