A note from Simone
Buongiorno, io sono Simone, The Sardinian Guy! I live in lively Cagliari, Sardinia’s capital and a quintessential Mediterranean town, with my wife Giorgina and our two kids Vittoria and Federico Costantino. They are very young and yes, I’m always late :) We love our home here in Sardinia and often have guests and friends dining in our terrace.
I've been guiding and designing trips in Sardinia and all around Italy for almost two decades, but my journey in tourism started straight out of university many years ago.
After a BA degree I did a master in tourism, then spent six months in South Africa, learning the potential of my island in outdoor and wine tourism before coming home to manage the excursion center of Forte Village Resort, a major luxury resort in Pula on the southern coast.
Currently, I’m involved in many tourism related fields, and often consult for local communities to promote our Island as a destination for active and experiential tourism. In 2023, I’ve been curating a series of outdoor guide books published by Lonely Planet. So, I think it's fair to say that I do a bit of everything!
I’ve had a lot of wonderful guests over the decades, many of whom have become friends. One thing I've found to hold true is that my guests are (almost always) as magical as my beautiful island!
