Geotoura – Hotel concept
When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, a location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.
We divide our hotels into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.
Boutique Hotels – Four categories
Encantador (“Charming”): Our most affordable option. Lovingly furnished rooms that offer everything the discerning traveller expects.
Especial (“Special”): Hotels with a special ambience – historic palaces, monasteries, haciendas or beach hotels with exceptional charm. Perfect for the classic cultural tour.
Extraordinario (“Extraordinary”): Luxurious hotels in excellent locations and with the highest level of comfort, often in centuries-old aristocratic palaces, old oil mills or haciendas.
Luna de Miel (“honeymoon”): For the honeymoon – span. Luna de miel – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …
Character of this travel idea
Experience culture
From the simple Oristano in the west of the island to the churches, monasteries and places of worship Oroseis in the east of Sardinia, you will pass through old towns with a relaxed attitude to life. However, it is the southernmost tip that will particularly inspire you on this 9-day Sardinia tour.
At Barumini, you can discover the traces of the Nuraghic culture at the Su Nuraxi archaeological site. It is still not entirely clear what the imposing megalithic structures from the 12th century BC were used for. They are sure to fire your imagination as you wander through the labyrinthine village and take a look inside one or two of the buildings.
Experience nature
Tiny coves between imposing rocks and wide beaches make the Costa Smeralda the precious stone that its name suggests. This stretch of coast is not only a dreamlike oasis for sun- and beach-lovers. It is also one of the most beautiful spots in terms of landscape Sardiniens .
In a somewhat different paradise, you will arrive in the Gennargentu National Park with your rental car. Here, canyons, majestic cliffs and typical Mediterranean flora dominate the landscape. At the sea, many grottos yawn in the ancient rocks and, with a little luck, reveal a glimpse of small but very interesting aquatic creatures.
So be sure to make a stopover on your 9-day tour of Sardinia in this unspoilt, almost fairytale landscape.
Sardinia and its culinary delights
Sardinia cultivates a very varied Mediterranean cuisine in which you can clearly feel the influences from France, Spain and North Africa. As an island, it naturally has an excellent seafood cuisine. It also conjures up rather unusual dishes such as ‘ricci di mare’, a dish with sea urchins that is only cooked between November and April. All year round, however, you can savour octopus and mixed seafood with saffron fregola as well as bottarga, dried and smoked mullet eggs.
Sardinia’s tradition of livestock farming has also enriched its cuisine with some delicious meat dishes. One of the most popular recipes is porcheddu, a piglet slowly grilled on a spit over an open fire. It is impossible to imagine Sardinian cuisine without the barbecue. In addition to fish and meat, you can also go vegetarian – for example with pecorino sardo or other cheese specialities and seadas, delicious deep-fried dumplings. Sardinian wines such as Cannonau, Nuragus, Malvasia and Torbato provide the perfect accompaniment for every dish. You should also try the mirto, a liqueur made from myrtle berries, which is served ice-cold.
