Hotels in Sardinia North, Italy

Sardinia's northern coast, known for the glittering Costa Smeralda, is famous for its turquoise waters and granite cliffs. The Mediterranean climate gives you hot, dry summers perfect for windsurfing in the Maddalena Archipelago, and mild winters ideal for hiking the limestone peaks of Monte Corru or exploring the 3,000-year-old Nuraghe Santu Antine. For a cheaper trip, visit in the shoulder months of May or September when the sea is still warm for scallop diving, but prices drop at resorts like Porto Cervo.
