Sophisticated Sardinia

"Sardinia is different" said DH Lawrence. From mountain forests to white beaches; and with albino donkeys and wild horses. Here the food is different too, with distinctly Sardinian versions of pasta, bread, wines, and cheeses. Sardinia is certainly different, and that’s why you’ll love it.
