This 2004 edition still has some interesting stories which have been deleted in later edition. Love the old style Lonely Planet guides.

I'm not a big fan of Lonely Planet so most of my dissatisfaction with the book stems from that. My one major complaint is that the book should include a page or two on Sardu since the book mentions multiple times it is a seperate language than Italian. It mentions everyone speaks Italian and includes a Italian language section...but it would be great to have some basic info...given than many place names are in Sardu. Otherwise the text is good.

Come sempre utile per organizzare il viaggio, ottimi gli itinerari consigliati per prendere spunto, un po' scarne le descrizioni dei luoghi.

Fantastic as always, my only issue was the selection of places suggested to eat in Cagliari was poor, we found much better options that were traditional Sardinian rather than Italian seafood. We learned from a Sardinian historian and guide that the seafood is not typical to Sardinia, this food is a tourist trap. Traditional Sardinian food is more rural, from in-land such as sheep cheese, meat platter and pig meat. So the eateries suggested by Lonely Planet were not that great.
The rest of the guide however is excellent.

Letto in previsione del viaggio in Sardegna. Come sempre la Lonely è ben scritta e dà una buona idea dei posti che si andranno a vedere. Penso opteremo per Alghero con un pezzo della costa ovest, per una vacanza di una decina di giorni. Potrebbe essere bello fare immersioni o escursioni.

Just for fun, armchair traveling. Wanted to refresh my memories before I totally lose them. Lonely Planet is not my favorite travel guide, though.

Used this for our trip in 2008. Did everything it needed to.
