"Sardinia is left outside of time and history".
D. H. Lawrence's claim is a tribute to the region's stunning natural beauty, the endless crystal clarity of its sea, the self-restraint and warmth of its people, its exquisite local dishes, its ancestral customs and the various expressions of Sardinian culture ...
Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines and Spanish: Sardinia has reinterpreted the most diverse of influences, opening itself up to the world and offering the very best of itself, yet never allowing its own strong, generous character to be changed.
In the same way, the physical heart of Sardinia, the area of Gennargentu which is now a national park, has harboured its natural treasures of inestimable value right up until the present day.
Travellers in Sardinia feel reassured by this sensation of changelessness: as if here, even in the most modern, urbanized and facility-filled areas of the island, everything continues to be more authentic, more genuine than elsewhere.
Wherever visitors choose to stay they are able to enjoy the glorious sea, beautiful woods and granite rocks, visit churches and museums, study the mystery of the millenary "nuraghi" looking out over hillsides and plateaus and throw themselves into the thousands of traditional festivals the island has to offer.
