Slow-paced, sun-splashed, and teeming with natural wonders, it’s no surprise that Sardinia is famed as the site of the first ever identified Blue Zone region. Travelers in search of la dolce vita need not look much further than Sardinia’s exquisite selection of Airbnbs for a sense of the elusive secret to a long, healthy, and happy life. As the second-largest Mediterranean island, narrowly missing out on the top spot to its noisier sister, Sicily, this glamorous Italian outpost flaunts more than 1,200 miles of white sand and polished pebble coastline—and yet there’s so much more to Sardinia than just its beaches.
Acres of vineyards recount a wine history that dates back thousands of years, while the rugged mountains and hills are peppered with hiking trails and archaeological phenomena. Italian cuisine is always popular, but the intense and rustic nostalgia of Sardinia’s restaurants leads even the most seasoned tastebuds into new territories. With such a dense culture to unpack on this Italian island, Airbnbs are essential to really get under the skin of the place, not to mention to meet the lovely locals. Whether you’re seeking an escape to the coast or countryside, below are seven of the best Sardinia Airbnbs to tick off your travel bucket list.
