Sardinia in winter

It has to be said: from the end of October, Sardinia is simply beautiful. The coastline, sprinkled with myrtle, mastic and juniper trees, looks like a biblical landscape. The hills are dotted with thousands of nuraghes, mysterious stone ruins dating back to the Bronze Age, and it is not uncommon to come across goats and sheep on the way back from shopping… In short, the place is authentic, away from mass tourism; and our houses, nestled in the Sardinian scrub, between the mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, are totally suited to the “cooler” temperatures: pellet stoves, heaters, flat screen TVs, cosy sofas and plaids…

The sea and the wind

Even if winter is mild in Sardinia, it is often hit by strong winds. It is an extraordinary experience to be on the beaches of the east coast at this time of year, such as those between Arbatax and Marina di Tertenia. Moreover, if you want to photograph deserted beaches, this is the right time. The horizons are full of changing colours, the sea, the sky, the storms or the sumptuous full moon nights will delight the lovers of landscapes and natural splendours.

 

Temperatures and swimming

Sardinia has four distinct seasons, with temperatures that remain mild, despite the cold of the mountains (except of course inland where some villages experience snow). From mid-October onwards, the temperatures cool down, but there can still be very hot days. It is then possible to sunbathe on the terrace and go swimming. The sea temperature remains pleasant until the end of October, beginning of November. When the weather is good, it is even possible to eat outside on the terrace at midday.

Mariachiara: on request, the swimming pool can be heated to 25°.

 

How to dress?

Take autumn clothes: trousers, jumpers, long-sleeved shirts, windproof jackets or light down jackets, scarves. Layer up! On windy days, the temperature can be much lower than the thermometer shows. So pack something warm in your luggage (and a swimming costume for the brave).
