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,
