Relax in Sardegna

About the destination: Palau, a tourist centre in the north-east of Sardinia, overlooks the archipelago of La Maddalena. Palau is located in one of the most sheltered areas from the north wind. It is known for its carved coastline, unique in the world, with crystal clear blue waters. Life revolves around tourism and the harbour. It connects the archipelago of La Maddalena. In the centre there is a lot of nightlife. The town comes alive with lively bars, lights and activity that fills the summer nights. Porto Rafael has that elitist and charming island feel, with its villas and small marina framed by a landscape of olive trees, myrtle and lavender. Nearby rises the Cabo d'Orso, with a well-known granite hill that through the erosive action of time has carved a large stone in the shape of a stuffed toy. It is a place to enjoy the wonders of the sea: the beaches of Punta Sardegna, the wild beauty, and Cala Trana, exotic places you will forget. Fall in love with Porto Faro with its Nordic atmosphere. If you want to add a touch of culture and history to your stay, visit the tombs of the giants of Li Mizzani and those of Sajacciu, near the church of San Giorgio. Regional festivals include Santa Maria delle Grazie in the first week of September and the feast of St. George on 1 May. In the town of Palau every year there is a famous carnival with floats and groups of people wearing masks parading through the town. One more reason to make Palau your ideal destination, even in winter.

About the destination: Turin, popularly known as the city of the car, is located in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy. The river Po and the Alps circumscribe this beautiful city, which offers visitors a feast of baroque architecture, ornate art nouveau cafés and museum collections covering everything from Egyptology to contemporary art. The heart of the city since Roman times is based on the Piazza Castello, Castle Square, surrounded by arches, each built at different periods. Nearby, the royal palaces of the Savoy House, Palazzo Madama and Palazzo Reale, lie with modest splendour. If Florence has its Duomo, Turin has its Mole Antonelliana. Crowned with a massive dome and conical spiral, the high building is the symbol of the city. Go up the glass elevator to the observation deck to get the best view of the city and before sunset, a superb view of the neighbouring Alps. Turin has proved to be more than an industrial city. To get a sense of the city’s urban revival stroll along its beautiful porticoes for some fine shopping and stop to enjoy a Vermouth before being delighted by its delicious cuisine.
