Beyond the coast: discover Gallura villages and landscapes with a private driver
Gallura is not only about Porto Cervo, beaches and coastal resorts. A short journey inland reveals vineyards, forests, granite villages and landscapes quite different from Costa Smeralda. A Gallura tour with private driver allows travellers to dedicate a full day to this side of northern Sardinia while choosing their own stops and schedule.
For guests staying along the coast, it can be an opportunity to experience a quieter and more rural part of the island, combining traditional villages, local products and panoramic scenery.
Gallura tour with private driver: travelling inland
An itinerary can begin in Porto Cervo, Cala di Volpe, Porto Rotondo or Olbia before continuing towards some of Gallura’s inland destinations.
Blue Car Service provides a full-day private chauffeur service in Sardinia for travellers who need several journeys during the same day or want to create a personalised itinerary. The chauffeur remains available according to the agreed programme, allowing stops and timing to be adapted to the plans of the guests.
No fixed tour here: travellers decide which places to visit and how much time to spend at each destination. A full day can combine several stops, depending on distances.
Monti, Luogosanto and Monte Limbara
Monti is one possible stop. Located close to the Limbara massif, the area is known for vineyards and Vermentino production and is surrounded by cork woods, Mediterranean vegetation and granite scenery.
Another interesting destination is the village of Luogosanto, in the heart of Gallura. Its granite architecture, religious heritage and traditional rural landscape provide a very different atmosphere from the coastal resorts.
Travellers interested in nature can also include Monte Limbara. It rises above 1,300 metres (Vallicciola, the starting point of many hikes, is already over 1,000 m). On clear days the views reach Costa Smeralda and the La Maddalena archipelago, and Punta Sa Berritta, its highest summit, reaches 1,362 metres. SardegnaTurismo describes it as one of the characteristic natural landscapes between Gallura and Logudoro.
Combining landscapes with local food and wine
An inland itinerary can also include a winery visit, lunch at an agritourism property or a stop dedicated to local produce.
The day can combine different activities rather than focusing on a single attraction: a village in the morning, a winery or traditional lunch around midday and a scenic stop during the afternoon before returning to the coast.
Discovering another side of Gallura
The roads around Limbara are mountain roads with many bends: with a driver you look at the landscape instead of the route, with no parking or driving times to think about.
Blue Car Service provides customised transport for guests who wish to visit several destinations during the same day. A Gallura tour with private driver complements the beaches of Costa Smeralda with granite villages, vineyards and inland scenery, creating a journey shaped around individual interests and preferred travelling pace.
