“What stands out is the art gallery vibe with Sardinian works; plus, it's near Poetto Beach, a 13 km stretch of sand, and there are beach volleyball and padel courts to enjoy. I think it's a solid choice, especially if you're after a blend of art and recreation near the coast. Consider it for a family trip or even for business, given its extensive conference facilities.”
