A fauna that populates the numerous forests, uncontaminated mountains and the many protected marine areas, 13 resorts and 43 beaches with Blue Flag certification.
It also has a food and wine industry with one of the highest rates of certified organic production in the country, thanks to the many IGT, DOC or DOCG wines and DOP cheeses. This is why we would like to support all those structures that continue to commit to their land, and it is also thanks to them that Sardinia is among the most eco-friendly places in Italy. By following our guide, you too can enjoy your holiday in total relaxation, with every type of service and comfort while respecting the environment.
We support ecotourism in Sardinia: this is how we choose the facilities in our catalogue
In recent years, it might seem as if more and more people are choosing eco-friendly, nature-based facilities as their holiday destination. The problem, however, is that the selection is still made using criteria that are not sufficient to define an activity as ‘eco’. We therefore present our list of attributes that a facility must have to fall into this category.
All facilities that have at least three of these attributes are included in our catalogue:
- Reducing water consumption for WCs and taps
- Energy savings by using energy-saving light bulbs
- Energy saving by using class A household appliances
- Waste recycling and collection
- Local and seasonal products
- Organic products
- Use of ecological detergents
- Reuse of towels (in hotels and B&Bs)
- Accessible by public transport
- Bio-architecture
- Rainwater harvesting
- Use of renewable energy sources (solar panels, etc.)

A few tips for organising a sustainable holiday in Sardinia
For those who love nature and also care about respecting the environment during their holidays, Sardinia not only offers holiday homes or accommodations that take this theme to heart, but it is also possible to take part in many outdoor activities with complete respect for nature. There are numerous paths through the mountains that will surprise you with their views, protected areas, oases, unspoilt beaches and lush forests; in short, there are many areas of great natural interest. You will have the opportunity to organise a day of canoeing at the lake or at the sea, to go on bicycle rides in the countryside or along the beaches on the paths dedicated to bicycle tourists, or to immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of the Sardinian coast and admire the seabed, to experience the wildest and most authentic Sardinia, wonderfully far from the noise of mass tourism.
