Sardinia was one of those beautiful places that really surprised me. We booked just a few weeks on the island in the middle of winter, not knowing what to expect, and ended up staying much longer than we imagined. Lu Impostu was the very last place we visited and ended up being our Sardinian ‘goodbye’. Leaving...

We originally went chasing flamingos at the Spagno di Notteri (the lake just next to the beach) and despite our great intentions we FAILED MISERABLY!
