    WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

    Read the comments of those who have already travelled with us to Sardinia…

    When trying to describe our impressions of our trip to Sardinia, we realized how difficult it is to find the right adjective for an island with such unique characteristics. In our case, I think the most suitable adjective would be… Surprising? Yes, surprising.
    Surprising because, although we noticed in the guidebook you recommended that there were many diverse activities to do—mainly cultural—the true possibilities that Sardinia offers can only be fully understood once you’re there.
    When you first start researching this destination, what stands out most are the specialized travel magazines from agencies and tour operators, which primarily market Sardinia as a sun-and-beach destination. But that wasn’t what we were looking for in a vacation spot—we already have plenty of sun and beaches on our own coasts.
    During the 15 days we spent in Sardinia, we discovered that sun and beach tourism is just a small fraction of what this Mediterranean destination has to offer. Its historical and cultural tourism offerings are immense. Additionally, it provides opportunities for a wide range of niche tourism activities, including sports (both maritime and mountain-related), archaeology, gastronomy, anthropology, ethnology, and more.

    We have just returned from a wonderful vacation booked with you, where everything was perfect. Later on, if you’re interested, I can send you another email with more details about the places we visited. In short, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT… the people, the landscapes, the food, the beaches, the nature… The only minor issue, which was no one’s fault, was the EXCESSIVE HEAT we endured, but we did our best to cope with it. Overall, a 9-10 vacation!

    Hello Boris and Giovanni, on saturday, our vacation came to an end, and we returned home. I’m writing this email to thank you for the wonderful treatment we received and to share that everything went perfectly. It was an amazing trip!
    We absolutely loved the accommodations. We were a bit tired of overcrowded hotels, so this was a refreshing change. Everyone who welcomed us at the different lodgings was delightful, but the family at the rural house in Baratili San Pietro was especially kind. They treated us as if we were part of their own family.

    Hello Giovanni, how are you? We’re back from our trip to Sardinia, and I just wanted to thank you for organizing everything so well—from the car rental (they even gave us an upgrade) to the selection of agriturismos, all of which were fantastic.
    If it weren’t for you, we would have kept thinking that Sardinia was just about beaches, but that’s not the case at all. We absolutely loved the inland areas and the mountains.
    Truly, thank you for everything. We’ll definitely keep traveling with you!

    Hello Boris, although we usually don’t write on forums or blogs due to our busy schedules, we’re making an exception this time because we truly believe you deserve it.
    The trip was carefully structured at a reasonable price. On top of that, you provided numerous details and recommendations that clearly show your firsthand knowledge of the destination. The agriturismos and B&Bs were fantastic, each with its own unique charm.
    In short, the trip was absolutely perfect thanks to your expertise and the thoughtful approach you took. We are very grateful and recommend you to everyone who will listen—even to locals in Sardinia! We will definitely count on you for future trips.

    The trip was AMAZING! The island truly exceeded our expectations, especially its beaches and Cagliari. Everything was perfect in terms of accommodations and the car rental. We really noticed a big difference between the lodgings you arranged and the ones we booked ourselves in the north—a shame we didn’t reserve everything with you from the start!
    We especially loved the agriturismo S’Omu. The owners were wonderful, and the hostess was an incredible cook. The whole Oristano area and its beaches were a fantastic discovery—not as well-known as the north, but absolutely worth it.
    We also met several Spanish travelers at our accommodation, and everyone was really happy with their stay. The B&B Kastrum was also perfect, both for its location and thanks to Michele—such a charming host! He provided us with all the information we needed on what to visit.

    I just got back to work, which is why I hadn’t contacted you yet, but I had planned to call and congratulate you.
    The trip was wonderful and far exceeded my expectations. Kastrum, Lu Pastruccialeddu, and Guthiddai are all in fantastic locations and offer excellent cleanliness and comfort.
    If I had to pick a favorite, Lu Pastruccialeddu would take first place for the warm and familiar hospitality of the lady who runs it and the incredible breakfasts she prepared. We even nicknamed her “nonna” because of her kindness and her exceptional skills in the kitchen and pastry-making.
    The places we visited—quite a few, given the number of kilometers we covered—were amazing, with just a couple of exceptions. But of course, not everything can be perfect; that’s part of traveling, right?

    I wanted to thank you for your great availability and excellent service: our vacation was fantastic. We loved the accommodations, and although they were very different from each other, both seemed wonderful to us.
    We also want to highlight the kindness of the ladies at Muto di Gallura—so charming and warm. We bothered them quite a bit, making full use of their facilities, yet we were always greeted with a big smile and kind words.
    Additionally, we loved the agriturismo, the surroundings, and, above all, the amazing meals and dinners.
    We can’t wait to book another vacation with you! We just hope we can find a way to visit Sicily next year.

    Hello!!! Your interest in the outcome of our bespoke journey speaks volumes about your way of working. Sardinia truly lived up to our desires and expectations. Visiting this fantastic island away from the beaten path of tourists and getting away from the typical “canned and standard” vacation… has been a real pleasure.

    We’re back in Toledo… and honestly, it’s been a bit tough to adjust! Last Saturday, we returned from our trip to Sardinia and, well… EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! We absolutely loved the island—it’s truly surprising. The area around Dorgali was our favorite; we could have easily stayed there for a couple more days.
    The accommodations were a fantastic choice, each with its own charm. The hosts were all incredibly kind, but we especially loved Nanni, Caterina, and Paolo (my breakfasts will never be the same after experiencing Caterina’s!).
    Even though it was August, we managed to enjoy some beaches all to ourselves—turns out, the locals like to pack up by five, which is exactly when we arrived!
    Irene and I had already traveled with you last year to Sicily, so we knew we were in great hands. But Sandra and Maika, who hadn’t traveled with you before, were absolutely thrilled with the itinerary you planned.

    This is what writers of the past thought of Crete:

    Crete is full of beauty, the beauty of its men and its places. High mountains with snow, deep and abrupt gorges, open forests with thick grass, fountains with clear and fresh water.

    James Hamilton Delargy

    professor of folklore history, University of Dublin, 1946-1971 and traveler in Crete

    Crete’s features are serious, sincere and proven. The mountains are wild, harsh and serious. When you look at Crete from the plane, it looks like a bridge connecting three continents. Deeply marked by these three destinations (Moirae). For the first time in Europe, the hungry bird we call culture, jumped to Crete and made its nest there. It spread its wings above the Cretan land and gave birth to the mysterious, but silent Cretan civilization, full of life, movement and glory. There is something primitive, sacred, repentant and proud about Crete; something that only women who gave birth to brave men have. This land has fought and suffered a lot, it has faced death so many times that in the end it has lost all its fear; Now it knows how to laugh and play with death.

    Nikos Kazantzakis

    Greek writer, “50 years since the war in Crete”

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    ARE THE ROUTES YOU OFFER STANDARD?

    Some examples of the tours that we can organize can be found on our website. Once we receive initial information from you, such as travel dates, entry/exit airports and a description of the type of trip you want, we start preparing a completely tailored proposal combining the various accommodations in our catalog. Our tours are divided into 'at your leisure', 'rural' and 'charming'. The overall price of the tour will be the result of the prices of each accommodation, the rental car, our services, and all taxes and VAT.

    WHAT DO YOUR PACKAGES INCLUDE?

    Our tours normally include accommodation, breakfast and a rental car with comprehensive insurance against damage and theft. The packages also include a dossier of the chosen destination with many tips on places to visit and see, special beaches or where to eat off the beaten path. VAT, taxes and our administration fees (approximately €30 per person) are also always included in our packages.

    We can also include optional activities through our network of collaborators in our destinations, such as excursions, wine tasting or a cooking course.

    HOW ARE YOUR TOURS BOOKED AND WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT CONDITIONS?

    Once the trip has been requested by completing the contact form, we verify the availability of the accommodation and send an initial trip proposal by e-mail. We then spend a few days refining our proposal to adapt to your wishes. If you decide to go ahead with the reservations, we will send the link to the reservation data form and formal acceptance of the contract conditions by e-mail. Once we receive the green light from you, we will proceed with the reservations of the services and send you the invoice and the agency's account number so you can make the booking deposit of 30%. The remaining 70% is paid 45 days before departure. Once booking is complete and the entire payment has been made, we send you all the travel documents and vouchers. You will have to print these and take them with you. If any of the prearranged accommodations are not available before you complete the payment for your trip, we will notify you and propose an alternative in the same area. If you accept our new suggestion, we will proceed with the standard reservation process as explained above.

    DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD?

    Yes, of course! We accept all credit cards. Please notify us before making the payment so we can send you the secure link to our virtual POS.

    WHAT TYPE OF ACCOMMODATIONS DO YOU WORK WITH?

    Small hotels, Boutique hotels, B&B and Agrotourism lodging. All our accommodations have been personally selected by our team and included in our catalog. These strategically located places, with a good family atmosphere and charm, make our tours that much more special and attractive. Although we use the same criteria to select each type of accommodation, the price will vary according to their degree of luxury as is to be expected. Breakfast is always included and all rooms have a private bathroom.

    WHAT INSURANCE ITEMS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE RENTAL CAR?

    We work exclusively with high-quality rentals and always include comprehensive insurance to eliminate the excess for damages and theft. Please note, however, that this does not mean that everything is always included since comprehensive risk insurance also has exceptions. The companies we work with will also charge for: administrative expenses (approx. 38 EUR), damages caused voluntarily and by negligent driving e.g., going in the wrong direction of travel) or driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, damage to wheels, rims, undercarriage, damage caused to the clutch (misuse or burns) and the vehicle interior. We find all these items reasonable since they imply misuse of the car. All other circumstances are included. In destinations where comprehensive insurance is not available, we contract a deductible reimbursement insurance. This means that although you have a deductible limit contracted with the rental company, if they charge you for any damage upon your return, we will reimburse you.

    DO YOU PROVIDE TRAVEL INSURANCE?

    Yes, of course. At your request, we can include cancellation and/or medical insurance. We work with AXA insurance products because we believe that they are flexible, satisfy the required insurance conditions and offer reasonable prices, However, if you are interested in these products, it is important that you read the conditions we send you because, as with any insurance, there are exceptions that are not covered.
