Do I need to take a COVID test before travelling?

For arrivals into Sardinia only, it is recommended that you have a private COVID 19 PCR test completed 48 hours prior to your departure.

You can opt to have a test completed once you arrive into Sardinia, however, you may have to find your own private clinic on the island and this must be completed within your first 48 hours after arrival.

You may also be required to self-isolate within your accommodation if you decide to be tested on arrival. Currently the Italian mainland & Sicily do not have any testing requirements.

Do I need to wear a face covering?

The use of face coverings in mandatory in all enclosed public spaces. Some regions may also require you to wear a face covering in outdoor public spaces. Signage is in place to advise if you need to wear a face covering. We recommend you carry a face covering with you at all times.

Are restaurants and bars open?

Restaurants and bars are open, however like in the UK, you may be asked to provide your contact details upon entry for the purpose of contact tracing. You may also be required to make a reservation in advance for some restaurants.

Are tourist attractions open?

Tourist attractions are permitted to open, however there may be limitations to the number of visitors permitted at any one time. We strongly recommend booking any attraction tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
