- Historic and cultural sites: In Sassari and nearby towns, you’ll find archeological sites, Nuragic towers, and museums that reveal Sardinia’s layered past. Even a short stroll through a village center reveals centuries of stone houses, craft shops, and friendly locals.
- Local markets and food experiences: Sardinian markets are perfect for picking up fresh fruit, cheeses, pane carasau, pecorino, and locally produced olive oil. Cooking with a local host or joining a food-focused walking tour is a delicious way to deepen your connection to the region.
- Outdoor adventures: Gentle hikes along coastal trails, cycling routes that weave through hills, and sea-kayaking opportunities along sheltered inlets create an active itinerary for guests who crave movement with a view.
- Boat trips and island exploration: Day trips to nearby islets and coastal towns by ferry or boat tour uncover a water world of caves, seabirds, and remote beaches that are otherwise hard to reach.
- Wine, cheese, and olive oil tastings: Sardinia’s food-and-warmth culture shines through countryside tastings and small-batch products. An afternoon of tasting can be a highlight of any stay, especially when paired with a sunset over the sea.

- Best time to visit: Spring and autumn offer milder temperatures for outdoor adventures, while summer is ideal for sea-based activities and beach days. If you’re drawn to fewer crowds, shoulder seasons are a sweet spot for exploring coastal towns and markets.
- Getting there: A combination of regional flights to Alghero-Fertilia or Olbia, followed by a car rental or local transfer, is common. A car gives you flexibility to explore beaches and villages at your own pace, which pairs perfectly with a Granny Flat stay.
- Transport within the area: Local roads are well-kept, but plan for narrow lanes in older villages. A compact car or a small SUV makes parking and maneuvering easier in tight spots.
- Packing essentials: Bring light layers for coastal winds, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, beach attire, and a small daypack for hikes. If you’re planning a cooking experience, a collapsible bag for groceries can be handy.
- Safety and comfort: Sardinia is welcoming and safe, with a strong sense of community. It’s always a good idea to confirm check-in times with your Granny Flat host and keep a copy of local emergency numbers handy.
