HiI have been watching the web site now for some years, but never introduced myself, find the new site as confusing as everyone else! 7 years ago I retired, we had hope to do so in Italy a place my wife and I love and have visited many times, regretably I then found I had the big C, so everything on hold., but we still go even though the treatment has failed. This year off to Sardenga near Cagliari at Torre delle stelle where the family have booked a Villa,for july, anyone out there?I am not sure there is anywhere we can say we like best, having been most areas from Rome and to the north, heat dos`nt agree with us, we often go in the winter(no tourists-joke) and try to stay in a community.So look forward to keeping up with you lot!

This year is predicted to be hottter than last year with temperatures in the mid 30's being the norm in Tuscany; hotter further south. Do what everybody who lives here does .....STAY OUT OF THE MIDDAY SUN.........have a long lunch; nap and re-emerger about 4. Wear linen as it's cooler... Ciao global warming..

Thanks for that, very useful tip, always let the Wife do the Baggs!!! and get out to beat the queueAny idea of the taxi charges? bit worried that those not hiring a car could find it almost as much.Thanks and will wait news of the New road opening,Masterphoto

Masterphoto, Good luck to you and all my best wishes. Taxi from Cagliari will cost you around €60-€70.Torre delle Stelle is a community of about 700 holiday homes. Many owned by residents of Cagliari who visit only at weekends. The beach there is good and the views can be stunning but I'm afraid the facilities in general are pretty limited. For example, there is only the one shop-supermarket and no real bars-restaurants within walking distance. (there is a beach bar etc but not much more). I think having a car there is quite important. If you need any further help please pm me.
