Dear Fodors,
We are planning a trip to Sardinia for two weeks mid Aug. The whole island looks amazing but we would like you to guide us so as where to base ourselves as we are planning to base ourselves in two areas to be able to see as much as possible. In order to help us choose our two bases, here are our interests and taste:
We are a couple in our early forties with a 4 years old boy.
We like places like St tropez, Cannes, MOnte Carlo, Portofino and Marbella.. We also like places like Luberon area and Ronda in Spain.
This is our only trip in the year so we try to pamper ourselves by staying in 5 stars hotels. We prefer new modern and care that they are clean.
We usually rent a car and explore the nearby villages but we also like to spend few days on the beach (not a pool)..
Did some research and thought of Porto Cervo in the north east ....what do you think given the above? How are those different or similar from the examples we gave? Any other recommendations that fit our criteria?
Also any recommendations for 5 stars hotels in those areas?
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Sardinia best of mid aug

Dear Misho,
in Porto Cervo surely you can find 5 stars hotels and all the services you want, but I could suggest you some wonderful places in the Southern Sardinia too. Alessandra
Thanks Alessandra. I think we will go for Porto cervo. I know there are many 5 stars hotels but we would love to get some recommendations if possible. We love modern styles.
hotel Colonna Pevero, Colonna resort and many others...
Alessandra, amazing! Do u know that this is the hotel I had in mind as I did some research! Thanks a lot....one thing though...I this hotel has no beach for its own, right? I refer to the colon a resort...
yes private beach...
