In Italy to Shop!

Ever wondered how every Italian seems to own a stash of fine merino wool Prada knitwear, a Ferragamo bag and a whole host of designer footwear and eyewear? How do they afford it?

What you lack, but what every style-conscious Italian knows, is exactly when and where to shop for bargains. Time your trip right and pick up designer fashion for a snip of the usual price at the annual sales (saldi) in January and July. Discounts start at 30% and increase to 50% as the sale goes on, but get there early if you dont want to be left with the oversized, ill-fitting, odd-coloured items that have been rejected by the rest of the shopping fraternity. At other times of the year score at the big city flea markets or head for the discount outlets in Lombardy and Piedmont.

Why Go?

As DH Lawrence so succinctly put it: Sardinia is different. Indeed, where else but on this 365-village, four-million-sheep island could you travel from shimmering bays to alpine forests, granite peaks to cathedral-like grottoes, rolling vineyards to one-time bandit towns all in the space of a day? Sardinia baffles with prehistory at 7000 nuraghic sites, amazes with its weird and wonderful food (maggoty pecorino included), and dazzles with its kaleidoscopic blue waters.

Over millennia islanders have carved out a unique identity, cuisine, culture and language, leaving the forces of nature to work their magic on the landscape. And whether youre swooning over the megayachts in the Costa Smeraldas fjord-like bays or feasting on spit-roasted suckling pig at a rustic agriturismo (farm stay accommodation), you cant help but appreciate this islands love of the good life. Earthy and glamorous, adventurous and blissfully relaxed, Sardinia delights in being that little bit different.
