Sardinia

Golfo Aranci

Golfo Aranci

Set on Sardinia’s dazzling northeastern coast, Golfo Aranci is a picturesque seaside town where turquoise waters meet golden sands. Once a quiet fishing village, it now offers visitors a warm and welcoming atmosphere, surrounded by stunning natural scenery and traditional Sardinian charm. The town’s relaxed pace makes it ideal for unwinding, while its proximity to Olbia and the glamorous Costa Smeralda provides plenty of opportunities for exploration. From coastal walks and small local markets to island-hopping adventures and beachfront dining, Golfo Aranci captures the essence of Mediterranean living.

Trip Reviews

Whole experience

The whole experience other than the journey home due to the change of airline company and flight times.

Lovely mix of people

Loved the clean hotel, pool, beach side location and room being cleaned every day. Lovely mix of people to socialise with. Really fantastic boat trip round the south of the island. Annie our tour leader worked really hard to make our holiday enjoyable, she was amazing every day. I can't thank her enough for putting so much effort.

Glad I took plunge

This was my first solo holiday . So glad I took the plunge. Hotel was lovely including location, food, room, facilities and entertainment. Tour leader Annie was great. She made sure everyone was happy and always gave options for daily activities. As a small group we all developed a bond. We had time together as a group but also plenty of time and space to do our own thing.

Great beach

The great beach and Monica did a fantastic job. Hotel staff very good especially the bar staff and room maids.

Dress code
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate percentage add on.
Passports & Visas

A full 10-year passport is required valid for at least the duration of your stay. Holders of passports with the inscription “British Citizen” or “European Union” do not require a visa.  

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct visa, a valid passport and any other travel documents for your holiday.
