Where to sleep in Sardinia — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
San Teodoro & the northeast — beach central
Caribbean-blue coves like Cala Brandinchi, lively summer squares.
Costa Smeralda — the glamour strip
Porto Cervo's yachts and hidden-cove resorts. Look, or splurge.
Alghero — the Catalan west
A walled old town over the sea, sunset bastions, coral shops.
Cagliari — the island capital
Castello quarter above, Poetto's endless beach below — real city life plus sand.
