Islands in the sun offer spectacular gifts that charm the senses. The island of Sardegna on the western coast of Italy is a myriad of such gifts. Along the Emerald Coast the senses are bathed in bouquets of beauty. Sweet flower fragrances engulf every breath. Tickling sand stimulates from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head. Sounds of the splashing sea against the calm coast mesmerize the ear. Emerald-blue vistas silence the mind’s chatter. Vibrations uttered become words never before recognized. It is a natural paradise of sublime harmony.
