After founding Just Sardinia with my husband Huw in 2000, I found myself naturally marketing the company through my love and in depth knowledge of the island. This stemmed from living in Sardinia for a couple of years and wanting to expand the English market to Sardinia which we have successfully done for 25 years with hotels, villas, apartments and rural retreats throughout the island and finding new properties every year! I have been lucky enough to visit Hotel Capo d'Orso many times and seen it grow over the years to now become part of Leading Hotels of the World.
