Luxury Car Hire in Sardinia

Sardinia, the second largest Mediterranean island but the fourth least populated area in Italy, boasts nearly 2000km of coastline, gorgeous beaches, turquoise waters, headlands, mountains, pretty white washed villages, deep bays and many inlets. Sardinia island is the only Italian region without Autostrade, but the road network is well developed with dual carriageways that connect the principal towns . A wonderful island to tour in your luxury rental car discovering the rugged interior or driving the coastal roads.<br /><br />Porto Cervo, in the north of Sardinia, was created in the 1960s by Prince Karim Aga Khan and is today the symbol of luxury tourism and the main centre of the Costa Smeralda. Beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels and glitzy night life abound. Fabulous yachts are moored in the sheltered and pretty Porto Cervo Marina. There are many attractions in and around this exclusive holiday destination. Amongst its many beaches and coves is Costa Smeralda's most beautiful beach, Spiaggi del Principe, accessed via a footpath. The colours of the water are truly amazing. The famous Piazetta and its neighbouring streets are full of some of the most famous jewellery and designer clothing brands. Dining out is excellent with many first class restaurants, fresh seafood dishes being the speciality of the region.<br /><br />Cagliari, in the south of the island, is the island's capital and undoubtedly the most Italian of Sardinia's cities with the tree lined boulevards buzzing with Vespas. The medieval quarter, Il Castello with its 14th century palaces and 13th century cathedral is the prime time area at sunset when the softer light illuminates the facades and fortress walls. The city has a rich history with many Roman ruins, churches, galleries and museums. Visit the Santuario & Basilica di Nostra Signora di Bonaria, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and the Cattedrale di Santa Maria.
