Menaggio
Escape the crowds with holidays to Matta e Peru in north-east Sardinia, where white-sand beaches and pine forests reign supreme on this Italian island.
Matta e Peru sure isn’t short of scenic countryside, where made-for-rambling forests open out into patches of chalk-coloured sand. With four million sheep roaming Italy's island of Sardinia, you might just make a fluffy friend on your way. Don’t forget to bring bottled water and a cap if you're headed out on a sunny day.
Sardinia's known for its almost-tropical beaches, and the white sands at Matta e Peru are as good as they get. Work your way through the pine forests that line the shores to find hidden coves all to yourself.
Sardinia's what you'd call a foodie heaven. Matta e Peru’s much-loved pizzerias are open during the summer months, serving up gooey, cheesy treats. If you fancy yourself a chef, make like a local and cook up a Sardinian supper with the day’s catch from Budoni’s market.
When you’ve had enough downtime and are craving the hustle and bustle again, hop in a car for 10 minutes and you'll reach nearby Budoni. Here you can indulge in a little retail therapy, feast on authentic wood-fired pizza or take a horseback tour along the beach.
