Sunset House Sardinia News - Spring in Sardinia? Why not?

Spring, for Sardinians, is a kind of door to the beach — an official one, at least. There are years when we go to the beach (to sunbathe and swim, not just to walk or fish!) from the last days of February, but March, well… March is the month when many of us start enjoying the warmth of spring.

Temperatures often stay above 20°C, even though in Italian we say, “Marzo pazzerello, anche col sole prendi l’ombrello” (“Crazy March: even when the sun shines, take an umbrella”).

Our beaches are still perfectly empty — maybe a bit cold, especially the water — but warm when the sun shines, and we can finally take off our T-shirts and enjoy all that beauty on our skin.

Sunset House Sardinia News - How does Sardinia feel?

Many tourists are currently wondering whether, after Typhoon Harry , Sardinia is alright or if the damage caused by the strong winds could somehow compromise their future holidays. The answer is NO: your holidays are safe and sound ! First of all, speaking about our area, located on the south-western coast of the island, the damage was actually minimal. It definitely rained more than usual, causing some unusual temperatures (7 degrees in winter is cold for us!) and unusually high water levels in our dams (Tratalias and Iglesias). Luckily for us, the typhoon came from Sicily — that is to say, from the south-west — therefore we, on the western coast, were in one of the safest areas of Sardinia. Want to see more?
