Sardinia by Motorbike: Why a "Base Camp" Strategy is the Best Way to Ride
There is an old way of visiting Sardinia by motorbike: the "itinerant tour," sleeping in a different place every night. On paper, it sounds romantic. In reality? It means packing and unpacking your bags every morning, riding a bike weighed down by heavy panniers, and spending precious hours checking in instead of riding.
Â
Experienced motorcyclists have discovered a better way: The "Base Camp" Strategy.
Â
Sassari: The Center of the Compass Choosing Villa Malvasio as your fixed base doesn't mean staying still. It means starting every morning light, without luggage, riding 300 km of spectacular curves, and returning every evening to a luxury property with a pool. From here, you have a different "loop" every day:
The Technical Loop (Osilo & Tempio): Spectacular roads, grippy asphalt, and high-altitude curves.
The Legend (Alghero - Bosa): One of the most beautiful coastal roads in the Mediterranean, 45 km of curves overlooking the sea.
The Great North: Ride towards Castelsardo, Santa Teresa Gallura, and Palau, with a fast return in the evening.
The Wild West: Porto Ferro, Argentiera, and the famous La Pelosa beach in Stintino.
The Van & Trailer Problem: Here You Are Safe Many bikers from Northern Europe arrive with vans or trailers to transport their bikes and avoid the long motorways. The question is always the same: "Where do I leave my van for a week?". Villa Malvasio offers a large, secure, and private parking area. Unload your bikes, park your van, and forget about it until departure. Your bikes stay safe, and you sleep soundly.
Gourmet After-Ride Experience A motorcyclist does not live on petrol alone. After hundreds of kilometers, returning to base means enjoying authentic Sardinian cuisine. Our guests especially love our fresh crust-baked tuna or the traditional roasted suckling pig (Maialetto) with melted pecorino cheese. These experiences turn a simple bike tour into a true gourmet holiday.
