Sardinia is in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy and north of Africa. It’s the second largest Mediterranean island and has weather that’s typical of the region. As spring continues into April, you'll see rising temperatures although it’s still some way off the peak of summer. You'll get plenty of warm weather, lots of sun and not much rain.
