Cagliari is a city that reveals itself little by little, like a story taking shape among ancient stones and glimpses of the sea. It is not enough to cross it: you have to live it. And to really do it, you need time, but above all you need a gaze that knows how to capturing the soul of the placewithout being overwhelmed by the frenetic rhythm of hit-and-run holidays. This is why choosing customised Cagliari itineraries means abandoning the idea of a standardised visit and letting yourself be guided in an experience that combines discovery, emotion and authenticity. This is what makes every stay in Cagliari something different, something that remains in the heart and mind, with a wealth of special memories.
Anyone arriving in Cagliari on a sunny day - and there are many here - will immediately realise this: is not a city to visit absent-mindedly. The dazzling light, the sharp contours of the hills, the sea enveloping the harbour like an ancient embrace... everything speaks of a living, layered place that is told only to those who know how to listen.
But precisely because it is so rich, Cagliari can be confusing. Where to start? How to find your way around the historic quarters and the lesser-known placesand avoid the stress of travel and the unexpected? And here we are talking about Handy® Cagliaria service designed for those who wants a tailor-made tripwithout giving up freedom. We do not follow an impersonal guide: we follow our curiosity, our desires, our times, because each holiday programme is built like a tailor-made suit, sewn to our interests.
Climb up to the Castello district (Casteddu de Susu in Sardinian) is like going back in time, but with your gaze firmly planted in the present. The white walls, the Pisan towers, the terraces overlooking the Gulf of Angels tell of a glorious past, but you only have to turn a corner to feel the vibrating real lifecraft workshops, cosy rooms, views that suddenly open up and leave you breathless. In this interweaving of eras and perspectives, it is easy to lose one's bearings. Yet, it is here that an itinerary allows us to see the wonders of the city (such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and Santa Cecilia, or the Bastion of Saint Remy).
Just outside the centre, a surprising landscape opens up, where the nature takes centre stage. The Molentargius-Saline Regional Natural Parkwhere seeing the beautiful pink flamingos seems like a place out of time. And then the Poetto, the long city beach where the people of Cagliari go to run, to swim, to live. To live, in fact. Because a holiday in this place is not just about stopping at the attractions, but about simple gestures: indulging in a fish lunch by the sea, or perhaps a romantic sunset stroll along the seafront. And why not make an impromptu diversions to a viewpoint recommended by someone who grew up here?
This is the strength of a customised itineraryKnowing how to combine what needs to be seen with what we don't expect, with the addition of little practical tips that make all the difference. Where to park, which bus to take, how to avoid queues on busy days... details, yes. But it is the details that turn a holiday into a happy memory.
