- Well worth packing
We found this guide very useful for our visit to southern Sardinia. As ever, with Rough Guides, there was a good variety of material - covering the obscure as well as better-known sites. Only quibble was that quite a few opening times seemed to be incorrect - we also had the DK Eyewitness Guide with us, and on balance we found their opening times more accurate, although we found the Rough Guide text more informative with (slightly) better maps. Having both books covered all angles.

- genius - a true masterpiece
Having read previous customer reviews, I was horrified at the lack of understanding of this beautiful work of art. Robert Andrews has captured the essence of sardinia and has combined his wonderful literary talent with an immense knowledge of the island to produce one of the greatest rough guides ever written. On travelling to Sardinia I found the guide extremely helpful and was delighted to discover that every piece of information contained within was 100% correct. Great work Rob!

- helpful, interesting and easy to use
Contrary to some other reviewers I found this guide extremely helpful and easy to use when travelling through North West Sardinia for 10 days. It gives a general overview of the landscape and feel of locations, with more detail of towns, activities and places of specific interest. We took it with us most places, found it pretty much an accurate and interesting guide for our holiday and would've been lost without it!

It is not the most exciting book to read but I found it an excellent 'handbook' to Sardinia and its town centre maps an essential accompaniment to the more local not-so-helpful general tourist information. I felt it gave a varied and honest review of the different aspects to the country, its landscape, culture, food, ... Read More:

- Stop! Buy the Cadogan guide instead!
Having The Rough Guide to Sardinia is better than having no guide at all;it's functional and it will probably suit travellers on a minuscule budgetgrimly trying to get around this tremendous place on infrequent publictransport and staying in campsites (the original 'rough guide' scenario).But really, it is a joyless read. The author, Robert Andrews, has managedto reduce a fascinating place to a series of sighs and grumbles. "Not muchto see here," he sniffs, when confronted with a small towns in theinterior, minor nuraghe (the amazing stone age buildings that dot theSardinian landscape), great stretches of coastline.
The RG makesSardinia sound like a drab, dispiriting place. We were there in mid-April2004 during unseasonably bad weather, and ... Read More:

- A decent guide book.
I have to disagree with the previous reviewers; I thought this a rather well written and informative guide to Sardinia.

For a holiday touring the island by car, I found this guide ideal. Opinions were served up in moderation, and the quality and quantity of factual information was just right.

I think that the content of this book would only fail to please the most lavishly-funded holiday. This book is as good as any other Rough Guide I have read before.
