QUOTATIONS AND PERSONAL DATA
Why do I have to indicate my children's age?
The discounts for children are applied only for specific age range, and depends on the accommodation facility or on the ferry company. This is why you need to enter your children's age at the time of travelling and the correct number of them even if sleeping with their parents.
Rates for accommodation available on the website are per person or per room and night?
On our site you will find the lowest price per person per night available for each accommodation facility. The system simulate a quotation which includes all the nights and all the people indicated. Additional and compulsory charges are displayed in the final page, and if you want to reserve or just sending an availability request, you need to entered your data and go ahead. Vat is always included.
Can rates vary overnight?
Rates and availabilities for accommodation or ferries are valid at the moment of the quotation and can be subjected to variations regardless of sardegna.com. The only way to be sure rates do not increase is booking at the time of the quotation as, especially in some periods of the year, rates suddenly change.
Do you recommend an early booking or waiting for a last minute?
Often availability finishes in advance and last minute for ferries or accommodations may not be available. We recommend you to evaluate with our consultants on a case-by-case basis if it is better to wait for a last minute solution.
Please note that usually attractive discounts are applied for early booking reservations.
Sometimes clients cancel their reservation and in these cases you can find last minute offers at lower rates.

It is always possible to cancel your reservation but the refund conditions may vary depending on the cancellation period and on the booking rate applied. Reservations with Sardegna.com have to be cancelled with Sardegna.com. Refunds for cancellations directly with the property or with the ferry company may be required more time to be handled.
Is there any cost for a booking cancellation?
A booking cancellation is subject to a cancellation penalty which can be viewed during the quotation request and accepted when booking. The majority of the accommodation facilities do not apply a penal for cancellations 30 days before the arrival. Please note that possible costs for refunding are on your charge.
The cancellation of a ferry’s ticket incurs on a fixed penal of € 40,00 and additional penalties depending on the period of cancellation and the rate applied.
