Why Sardinia is the prettiest girl in the class

A nice island where you don't trip over all sorts of drunk tourists: look, that makes us intensely happy. And you're there so quickly.

If you say sun, sea, and beach combined with a dose of luxury and pure nature, then you say Sardinia. So, it's a lovely island that has not yet been discovered by five billion selfie-taking tourists. There is still space and peace. You can enjoy the beautiful Italian climate in silence. The whole island is bursting with secret hotspots that you must see. In the north, for example, you will find the ‘La Maddalena archipelago’, a beautiful group of islands where you can snorkel perfectly. But you can also enjoy sailing around the island, lounging on the beach with a book, or going out for an elaborate dinner and trying local delicacies. Like scroppino. Just kidding. Fresh fish is also delicious.

Where exactly should you go? Trust us, you especially want to go to this hotel. The Bajaloglia Resort gives you everything you are looking for. Because: stunning views of the town of Castelsardo. That characterizes the island: a mountainous landscape filled with orange, yellow, and pink houses. So summery. You can lounge on your own little balcony at this location and enjoy the sunset or dine super fancy in the excellent restaurant that belongs to the hotel – you can also keep an eye on the sunset there, by the way. Plenty of terraces and balustrades to enjoy the sun rays. There is a charming pool to cool off in, and the rooms are too cute and oh so Italian. Colorful tiles in azure blue or turquoise, a huge kingsize bed to flop into after that tiring snorkeling session, and even a massage shower. The nice thing about this boutique hotel is that your room is quite private, as they are cottages spread across the grounds. So you are not on your neighbor's, uh, lip.

Furthermore, you can remember these nice facts: 

• Sardinia is one of the five areas in the world where residents live an average of longer.
• Not only in July and August is it nice here: especially in April, May, June, and September, the weather is lovely, with an average temperature of 17 degrees.
• The sun shines there for an average of 12 hours a day.
• In the month of July, an average of only 2 millimeters of rain falls. For comparison: in the Netherlands, 63 millimeters of rain falls.
• The winters are never really cold: it cools down to a minimum of 13 degrees. Fine, we’ll take that.

We are already packing our bags. And those of our loved one. Because this is perfect for a romantic getaway.
