What September feels like

September is the locals' favourite, and ours. The crowds thin within a fortnight, the sea stays warm well into October, and the light turns soft and amber. Vendemmia, the grape harvest, animates the wine country, restaurants have time to talk again, and you can hike in the morning and swim in the afternoon. If you can travel in September, travel in September. In Barbagia and the Nuorese the mountains set the tone: shepherd villages, mural-covered Orgosolo and the high Gennargentu.

What to do in Barbagia & Nuorese in September

Mountain air on the Gennargentu

When the coast swelters, Barbagia's high country stays fresher: forest trails, spring-fed rivers and shaded village lunches.

Beach days

Warm sea, long days and dependable sunshine: this is prime beach weather. Go early or late in the day for the softest light and the emptiest sand.

Get out on the water

Flat, warm mornings are made for boat trips, kayaking and snorkelling; the breeze that builds in the afternoon suits sailors and windsurfers.

Island hopping

Calm summer seas make the small islands off the coast an easy day out, from ferry rides to skippered charters.

Evenings in town

When the beaches empty, the piazzas fill. Aim for a slow dinner outdoors and a passeggiata through the old lanes.
