DAY 4: Corte and Ajaccio
We arrive in Bastia in Corsica this morning then continue by coach to the ancient capital of Corte. The upper town is picturesquely situated atop a hill dominated by the citadel and a maze of narrow streets lined with houses. We continue to the beautiful coastal town of Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon. The harbour area is a maze of tiny yellow ochre houses, church bells and domes, whilst the Old Town's imposing citadel commands views of the leafy boulevards. Overnight stay in Ajaccio/Porto area. D


DAY 5: Bonifacio
Included visit to the charming village of Propriano on the Gulf of Valinco, full of unusual 'menhirs' and 'dolmens' – standing stones and tombs. We then continue to Bonifacio, once a hiding-place for pirates, and later board the ferry for the one-hour crossing to Santa Teresa Gallura on Sardinia. Continue to our Sardinia hotel for a six-night stay. B,D


DAY 6: Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena
We offer an optional guided tour of the exclusive and beautiful Costa Smeralda, which owes its name to the green emerald-coloured waters. From the harbour town of Palau we take a ferry to the Maddalena islands. The old town perched on a hill is a charming maze of narrow streets and small squares. B,D


DAY 7: Alghero
Included excursion exploring northern Sardinia with its varied landscape. The attractive coastal town of Alghero is home to a delightful mix of architecture, especially within its charming Old Town. Here, you will find a wonderful selection of bars and restaurants serving fresh fish. The ancient walls still surround the old town centre with alleys and shops where the famous coral is worked and exhibited. If the sea is calm, you will have the opportunity to go on an optional boat trip towards the wonderful Neptune's Cave. B,D


DAY 8: Nuoro, Orgosolo and Lunch With The Shepherds
A wonderful optional full-day excursion to the Barbagia area, considered the heart of Sardinia with ancient traditions which survive alongside modern life, evident in the landscape, the architecture and the cuisine. The museum in Nuoro, the capital of the province, has many reminders of the culture of this ancient population. We continue through the vineyards to Oliena, the 'murales' of Orgosolo and the famous bandit villages. Later we enjoy lunch with the shepherds! You will sit down in a semi circle on granite benches, covered in oak leaves among the wonderful cork tree woods, accompanied by the pastori shepherds, whose sheep produce the island's famous peccorini cheese. Lamb and porchetta are roasted on an open fire, followed by local Sardinian bread and home-made red wine. An unforgettable experience. B,D
