Judge for yourself
Chapter 7 — Beaches Without the Traps
La Pelosa in practice
« Book at exactly 9 am two days ahead, arrive at opening time to find a parking space and enjoy the calm morning water, and leave in the early afternoon. The very fine sand sticks everywhere: that is why a mat is required. »
Chapter 7 — Beaches Without the Traps
The wind rule
« With the mistral, the east and south coasts are sheltered; the west and north are rough. With an east or south-east wind, the opposite. With a car and two or three beaches scouted in each direction around your base, you will almost always find a calm sea. »
Chapter 3 — Getting There and Renting
Plane or ferry?
« For a couple travelling for a week or ten days, flying and renting almost always wins. For a family of four over two or three weeks, with lots of gear, the ferry often becomes competitive, especially outside high summer. »

Readers' questions
What format does the guide come in?
Right after payment you receive a download link: the full guide in HTML, readable on any device and printable to PDF in one click (Cmd/Ctrl+P), plus the chapters in Markdown to read wherever you like. No proprietary app, no subscription.
Is the guide available in English?
Not yet: the guide is currently written in French, and an English edition is in the works. Prices, routes and checklists are of course language-independent — but if you don't read French, we recommend waiting for the English edition.
Is it up to date for 2026?
Yes: the price ranges, local rules and advice reflect the 2026 situation. The fundamentals — itineraries, driving or transport, logistics — change very little from year to year.
What if the guide isn't for me?
A simple guarantee: 14 days, money back, no questions asked. One email to our support is enough — full refund within 48 hours. We'd far rather refund you than leave a disappointed reader.
How is this different from the free pages?
Our free pages (the Sardinia country page, destinations, field notes) give you the panorama. The guide gives you the complete, ordered method: day-by-day itineraries, a line-by-line budget, detailed driving and logistics, and every checklist. It's the digest we wish we'd had before our first trip.
