About 120 miles west of mainland Italy, in the Mediterranean Sea, lies the Italian island of Sardinia. Nestled underneath Corsica (a region of France), Sardinia is Italy’s second largest island (Sicily being the biggest) and home to over 1.5 million people.
Covering some 9,300 square miles it’s around the same size as New Hampshire and boasts over 1,100 miles of coastline featuring rocky coves, pebble bays, white-sand beaches, and crystal clear waters. In the late 1940s investment in tourism infrastructure began on the island and its future was secured when, in the late 1950s, English financier John Duncan Miller paid a visit.
