Southern Sardinia

[pebbles]

Has anyone been on holiday to Southern Sardinia - Cagliari airport being the closest airport.

We are wanting to go in August, family of 4 (kids 5 and 3). Not fussed whether self catering with pool or hotel but does need to be reasonably priced (most important thing is pool)

Has anyone got any recommendations.

Thanks in advance

We went a few years back to Aquadulci - http://www.aquadulci.com/

We swore we'd go back when we had kids. Pool and gardens great and it is 2 min walk from the pool to the most magnificent, best family beach we have ever visited - and that is many! It is on Chia bay - long, wide beach and the water is shallow till far out. Beach club where you can rent beds/brollies. Only drawback is that it will be SUPER busy in August.

Great if you like the heat. We went (Pre-kids) about ten years ago and it was 40 degrees...

Wow, thinking that's too hot!!! We might change our plans :) Thanks everyone

They did say it was unusually hot - http://www.sardinianplaces.co.uk/Docs/Sardinia-Guide/What-To-Expect/Weather.aspx this seems to be more usual. Being a ginge I am more cautious than most...

We were just outside Alghero, it was lovely (despite the heat wave!)

We went to the Forte Village- got a reasonable deal from Citalia

It was heavenly and the facilities for kids were just amazingly good

Yup, we've done Forte, amazing. My brother runs a company with rugby players Will Greenwood and Austin Healey http://www.superskillstravel.com where they basically provide amazing family holidays and all the kids get coached by ex internationals. Went a few years ago which was launch year and was amazing, truly amazing. However quite expensive and so we want to wait until both are over 5 (the minimum age for the rugby training) before we go again so both kids can appreciate it all :)

I do agree though if you have a bit of money spare - you can't beat it - a great holiday
