I’m checking out today after a 5 night stay with points at 80k per night (I’d booked at 90k and noticed that one day and for one day only the rate went down to 80k, so I cancelled and rebooked). I will post more detailed thoughts once the holiday is over. Off to Carloforte later today.

To clarify something with respect to the post above. While I love Costa Smeralda, Sardinia has much more to offer in terms of coastline and beaches. The area around Chia, with its many beaches has always very popular among locals and tourists.
