Take a trip back 200 years - to see how life used to be lived on the Italian Mediterranean island of Sardinia (Sardegna). The Hotel Omu Axiu offers three-star comfort on the south of the island. You'll see women baking the bread, the work tools used in the fields, take cooking classes on regional cuisine, visit archaeological sites and the plethora of beauty spots ... there is an enormous amount to do here, with beautiful countryside and the coast within driving distance. The marvellous old city of Cagliari lies south of here and rewards a day or two of exploration. Nearby there is coarse fishing, mountain biking, canoeing and hiking. And of course the restaurant at this Sardinia hotel offers regional cuisine for lunch and dinner.
