It's good to hear you get the same feeling about Sardinia that we do as a place to write. This corner of the island is indeed beautiful - I fell in love with its charms four years ago. But it boasts so much more than just a breathtaking landscape. It offers a very special atmosphere that will both nurture and energise you. I've found it to be the ideal place to move my writing along. One of the things the area is renowned for is the hospitality of the locals. Laura, our host at Ca La' Somara, is a wonderful example. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome. And she's more than happy for us to take over the grounds and write wherever we feel most at ease. If you've any questions about this part of Sardinia I now call home, please do let me know. Hi Jean

I like the idea of a writing workhop in Sardinia because I've heard that it is a beautiful place . The time away will give me structured time to write and enjoy the area with others. I am considering the workshop. Jean Hi
