My experience

This is Rachana's own 1-day itinerary for Sardinia, Italy — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Hotel Options and What to See & Do, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
