Accommodation is the variable with the biggest impact on your budget. The differences between types and periods are very significant.
| Property type | Low season | High season | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio/one-bedroom | Low | Medium to high | Ideal for couples |
| House for 4–6 | Medium | High | Best for families |
| Villa with pool | Medium to high | Very high | Split between friends: good value |
| 3–4-star hotel | Medium | High | Less flexible on meals |
A home 2–3 km from the sea generally costs less than one on the beachfront. With a car, you'll hardly notice the difference.
Flight or ferry + car hire: significant items, but very variable.

| Option | Impact on budget |
|---|---|
| Supermarket + cooking at home | Very low — Sardinia has excellent produce |
| Café + local bakery | Low — breakfasts and quick lunches at modest prices |
| Trattoria/local restaurant (inland) | Medium — often excellent value for money |
| Beach/harbour restaurant | High — you pay for the location, not always the quality |
| Top-quality seafood restaurant | High — but it's the quintessential Sardinian experience, and worth it |
The secret to your food budget in Sardinia: breakfast and lunch cooked at home (pane carasau — crisp Sardinian flatbread — cheeses and local tomatoes cost little) and dinner out only on the evenings you choose. High quality, budget under control.
