      Wonderful Sardinia experience!
      Thanks for putting together a wonderful itinerary for our trip to Sardinia. The accommodations were all very pleasant. The Palazzo Dessy in Cagliari was a notable stand-out with the pleasant room and terrace and fabulous breakfast. The Su Mavara is a great resort and we enjoyed the pool and access to walking paths to the town of Aritzo, along with the generous breakfasts. Rafaela is a delightful guide and her personalized tour of Calgiari the day after our arrival, with her extensive historical knowledge, was entertaining and fun. The truly outstanding highlight was the time in the Aritzo region with Francesco. WOW! What memories we made with that visit! He and his family were such generous and warm hosts. He exuded passion about the traditions and lifestyles of the area, introduced us to some of the townspeople, showed us his family garden and orchard… in total he provided a long list of amazing experiences perfectly aligning with our hopes for this holiday. And who knew that one of us would actually milk a sheep while on the trip!!! So fun. We feel very fortunate to have met Francesco and his family and feel honoured to have learned a little about their life and culture. Francesco’s wife and mother added to the warmth and fun. We learned how to make a traditional bread and three kinds of pasta that were included in an amazing lunch hosted by the family. We also had an interesting tour of museums with a smart young woman named Francesca. All in all, the time in Aritzo will go down as one of the top travel experiences of our lives. We can’t say enough about the team that put together our curated itinerary while in Sardinia. They checked all the boxes for us. And they were very responsive when we questions or requests before and during our trip. It really made our experience the best it could be. Thank you Motus Travel! Nancy and John

      For all your Travel Needs in Italy...
      This travel agency is really amazing. I worked with Salvatore and Paola and both were open to my suggestions and carried out their tasks efficiently. They planned drivers and tours in Sicily for me and I honestly don't know that I could have done it without their assistance. The drivers and tour guides were all professional and I would not hesitate to use them again for any travel in Italy.

      HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
      I’ve always wanted to visit the real Sardegna not just the beaches but also the small towns on the mountains, meet its wonderful people and experience the real culture. I’ve contacted Travel Motus with this and they tailored a trip specifically to meet my needs. I highly recommend Travel Motus for the following reasons: - Clear & accurate communication. - Highly professional team. Starting from Mario & Paola who were kind enough to come and meet me in person during the shepherd experience, Laura my trip guide who was very punctual yet relaxed always making everything seem at ease, to Patrizia the lady I met in Urzulei for baskets weaving workshop. - Highly tailored to what you’re looking for on your trip. The whole team was kind, and I got to visit costa de Baunei, the mountain village of Urzulei, experience the shepherd farm and milking the goats, attending a cooking class, and meeting the locals Thank you Mario and the team for a great trip/memories Probably won’t be the last :)

      Lovely introduction to Sardinia!!
      Wonderful itinerary planned for us so we could spend some time in a city( Cagliari), time in the countryside at a Nuraghe, and beach time (Golfo di Orosei). It was well planned, the hotels they chose for us were great, and our week in Sardinia was perfect!! Highly recommend their services!!

      Expensive
      Motus travel is outrageously expensive. I was quoted 600 euros per day for a driver his accommodation and his food. I still have to add my accommodation, food and activities. Am I missing something.

      Sardinia, the Undiscovered Country
      We were so fortunate to meet Mario DeIitala of Motus Travel through our good friend and travel guide, Sabrina Scaglianti. Mario arranged our entire 20 day April trip in Sardinia creating an wonderful itinerary that included city tours, a mountain hike, spending time in the Blue Zone, two boat trips and lovely accommodations. Our trip planning started last November when we initially contacted Mario via email. He developed an initial itinerary based on our interests and we refined it together during several Zoom calls over the next few months. Mario's advice made our first trip to Sardinia a wonderful experience and one we will not forget. And, we will definitely use Mario's services for our next trip to Sardinia!!!!

      A great cooking experience with a Sardinian Family
      The cooking course takes place in a beautiful B’B in cosy Banari. The day was adjusted to our wishes. After a very warm welcome we went to a paneria and heard a bit about their business. Afterwards we started with making pasta. We had such a great time. The whole family was involved. Even the nonna joined at one point and showed us how to make Banari Gnocchetti. Our son Jona was entertained by everyone. We felt so welcome and learned a lot. The food was great. We can definitely recommend the course and a visit to the B&B s’Asilo. Thank you so much.

      An Amazing Tour with an Amazing Guide
      After unsuccessful attempts to find a reliable travel consultant to tailor a personal tour in Sardegna, I was fortunate to find Motus Travel. My main interest was to visit the Garibaldi Museum on Isola Caprera, but I wanted to take advantage of learning as much as possible about the art, culture, history, and foods of Sardegna. Within a very short period of time, Manager of Operations, Paola Marras, designed an amazing, rich, meaningful, comprehensive 4-day tour, greatly exceeding my expectations. Guide/driver Laura Sedda, an archaeologist, provided information and insight to help me understand and appreciate the culture and history, while meeting Sardegnians and experiencing sights, sounds, flavors, and aromas encompassing the natural beauty of the land and the people. Laura is the perfect guide: passionate, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I left Sardegna with wonderful memories and the hope to return to pick up where I left off!

      Fabulous trip!
      Discovering Sardinia and Corsica with Travel Motus was wonderful. We were sailing to Malta from Naples, Italy, and thought should visit Sardinia while we were in the area. I contacted Travel Motus via email to see what they suggested, and thus began a correspondence that resulted in my husband and I visiting both Sardinia and Corsica. We asked for 3-star hotels located in town so we could walk to dinner and shopping. Delivered beautifully with lovely hotels perfectly located. We asked for a private tour with a car and driver. Delivered with a wonderful guides, one of whom was also an archeologist. We wanted to not only see both islands but experience the culture and people. Delivered with wonderful itineraries, breathtaking sights, and unforgettable experiences with local people. We could not have asked for more. Really. These folks are highly professional, very knowledgeable and experienced -- and also very thoughtful and attentive. We give Travel Motus our highest and strongest recommendation.

      Amazing travel agent!!! Motus made our trip!
      Mario from Motus Travel helped us put together and book an amazing trip to Sardinia this summer. The service was absolutely fantastic! Mario is extremely knowledgeable, and recommended such beautiful hotels, great restaurants, and experiences to us. He booked two different boat tours for us, and three very different and special hotels that were exactly what we love most. In addition he was so flexible to accommodate for our time zone difference of nine hours. He worked with us, and got on the phone during his off hours to answer all our questions. We still dream of this vacation, and can’t wait to return to Sardinia. We will definitely book with Mario again next time, and we recommended Motus to all our friends.

      Paolo and Mario arranged for me an absolutely perfect itinerary for my requests. Everything went flawlessly including all the car pickups.

    We've been to Italy many times, but Sardinia was always on our "will do" list (yes, we know - Sardinia is not Italy lol!!!). Finally, we made it, and the reason wasn't just a sea and beautiful beaches, but Blue Zone experience. Thanks to Francesca, Vittoria and family who let us in their home, making bread and pasta together and share meal, wine and laugh around the table.
    Francesca walks us through the town, meeting and talking to locals, and made us feel part of it. The unique feeling of "we belong, and we are part of it".

    We spent 11 glorious days arranged by Travel Motus. We are an active senior couple who want a bit of adventure, and who don’t want to deal with travel logistics. Mario, the owner of Travel Motus, produced a great vacation. We visited a Blue Zone family, had a romantic beach get away at Santa Maria Navarrese, swimming in clear blue-green water, and a sailing day in Alghero. We stayed focused on our vacation. Mario booked hotels and arranged fun guides and drivers; and he handled changes easily. For two days, a Blue Zone family showed us how they work, the town they live in and how to make bread, pasta and ravioli. We ate dinner with 20 relatives, friends and whomever. It was great fun.

    Most memorable potion of our Italian trip. Contacted Motus Travel to arrange a 5 day trip prior to joining a group tour in Amalfi. My wife and I were led by Francesca who gave us an authentic experience of Sardinia which we would have never been able to attain. We stayed two nights in Alghero, the region with a beautiful shoreline and the red coral capital and stayed two nights in Aritzo a mountain village of 1000 inhabitants.
    We experienced cooking local dishes and visiting ancient Nuraghes which exist only in Sardinia. Grazie mille Travel Motus

    Mario of Travel Motus was very responsive and put together a private tour of the Sardinia blue zone with an excellent tour guide Claudio and wife Beata who went above and beyond expectations. The tour included the classic blue zone village of Villa Grande where I spoke with a number of residents including a centenarian of 102 years. I had a visit to the town hall where detailed records of the births deaths and marriages of the residents were kept and a visit to the Blue Zone Cafe. We ate at a restaurant with excellent food locally. We visited the countryside where there were spectacular views as well as old historic Stone Towers from up to 2,000+ years ago. Sardinia is an incredible place with fabulous food clean air and and very friendly people. Next we visited a historic town Mamoiada where there's a museum which showed the history of the people of Sardinia and the long-standing tradition of Carnival that still occurs in February. We stayed at a hotel that was very comfortable and had excellent food and fantastic wine. We visited a Vineyard and had wonderful wine tasting. A highlight was lunch at the top of a small Mountain where traditional Sardinian food including sickling Pig, mutton, cured meats, cheeses and wine along with Entertainment of traditional Sardinian music took place.

    We visited a historic town which stood up to the Italian military from taking their land unjustly for a military base with lovely small shops where one can buy souvenirs and lots of wall murals depicting the historic struggle against the military.

    We took a quick detour to the seaside then went on to another Village where I participated in making pasta and learned about the way they make the traditional Sardinian flatbread called Pan carasau. I had the pleasure of meeting the tour guides mother and father who ran this Bakery and had the opportunity to have a home cooked meal which was of course delicious!

    The hotel we stayed on the Mountaintop had a spectacular View with fantastic food which also cater to german-speaking visitors. I was able to see their cheese making process.

    All in all, it was the most wonderful tour experience I've ever had!

    I took a small camera with me and took the dots of great pictures however don't have many pictures on my phone for this review. Just a few pictures of delicious food at the restaurant near Villa Grande.
