Birding in Sardinia - Additional Information
We are a British couple who have recently completed the construction of a large, brand new villa in the North West of Sardinia. We now wish to let out a totally self-contained half of this to groups such as bird watchers, walkers, cyclists, divers etc., who we believe would treat the property with care.
The villa is situated close to Lago Baratz, a ten minute drive from Alghero airport. Lago Baratz is the only natural lake in Sardinia and is home to a wide variety of resident and migratory birds and ducks. I have obtained permission from Jason Anderson to give a link to his excellent Bird Watching in Sardinia website. This details species to be found on the lake and surrounding areas.
The website is: http://www.members.tripod.com/kilnsey/birdwatching_in_sardinia/
The coast in the area is known as the Coral Riviera. The villa is in a tranquil, rural setting with eleven acres of farmland and panoramic views and is only a ten minute drive from a large, sandy beach. It is fully furnished and equipped, providing all linens, towels etc.
Ryanair fly to Alghero from East Midlands & Liverpool (Spring/Summer only for now) and Stansted & Dublin (all year). Olbia Airport is another possibility, giving about a 2 hour drive to savour the scenery across the North of Sardinia. Ryanair fly to Olbia from Birmingham (Summer) and EasyJet fly to Olbia from Bristol & Gatwick (Spring/Summer).
We have driven (and taken our dog!) to the villa and can give help and advice to those choosing this option.
If any of your members are considering holidaying in Sardinia and are looking for high quality accommodation we have a website giving full details and would be grateful if you would pass on details of this to any who may be interested.

Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
