A wedding overlooking the sea, a birthday stay with friends or a company gathering with time to explore the island. Sardinia offers coastal settings, countryside hospitality and experiences that can make the days around your event just as memorable.
The Italian Chapter plans weddings, private celebrations and corporate events in Sardinia for international clients. Alessia Piperno leads the planning with selected collaborators and trusted local suppliers, coordinating venues, accommodation, transport, dining and activities.
Your time on the island
A boat outing may be the first idea for the stay. A visit to a winery, a cooking session or lunch with a local producer can introduce another side of Sardinia and give guests different ways to enjoy their time.
We help choose a base around the occasion, accommodation needs and arrivals. The island’s different areas offer different possibilities, so the programme begins with a suitable location and the experiences within reach of it.
For a wedding, that might mean a welcome dinner and an afternoon on the water. For a conference or retreat, it could be professional sessions followed by smaller activities and shared meals.
Where to stay
The venue, airport and places you want to explore should be considered together. We help compare locations using the actual guest itinerary and the requirements of your event.
Cagliari and the southern coast provide options for city stays, coastal gatherings and conference programmes. Pula, Chia and Villasimius can be considered according to the venue and occasion, with each location requiring its own transport plan.
Gallura, including the Costa Smeralda area, offers coastal hotels, villas and opportunities to spend time on the water. We compare properties around your preferred atmosphere, guest accommodation and the departure points for planned outings.
Alghero can provide a base for a gathering that includes time in town, coastal visits and meals nearby. We assess the location of the event venue alongside guest accommodation and the journeys involved.
A rural property or producer visit can bring food, craft and the landscape into the stay. We explore suitable options near your chosen base, or consider a countryside venue when it fits the main occasion.
Your occasion
A coastal hotel, villa or countryside property can provide the setting for a wedding and a stay with your guests. We help explore suitable venues and coordinate catering, flowers, entertainment, accommodation and transport.
A welcome dinner, boat outing or lunch after the wedding can give friends and family travelling from abroad more time together. These plans are considered alongside the wedding day and the location of the guests’ accommodation.
Birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings can centre on a private dinner or become several days on the island. We organise accommodation, meals and experiences around the people you are inviting.
Guests might join a boat trip, visit a producer or spend a quieter afternoon at the property before meeting again for the celebration.
Company retreats, international conferences and incentive programmes need the right accommodation and working facilities, alongside a programme people will enjoy outside the sessions.
For retreats and conferences, we can help source meeting rooms, suitable working areas and breakout spaces alongside the accommodation. We review the hotel or resort’s own facilities first and, where a separate venue is needed, the practical journey from the rooms. We select the workspace around the number of participants, the meeting format and room layout, Wi-Fi and connectivity, screens and audiovisual equipment for presentations or video calls, privacy and quiet, proximity to the accommodation, and catering or access hours where relevant.
We help source hotels and meeting spaces, then coordinate equipment, dining, transfers and activities. The schedule is built around the professional agenda and the practical needs of the group.
Venues & Accommodation
The setting is one part of the decision. We also check how the venue accommodates the group, hosts the event and connects with the rest of the programme.
A hotel or resort can bring bedrooms, dining and shared spaces together. For corporate groups, we check meeting rooms, equipment and room arrangements. For weddings and celebrations, we review reception spaces, catering and the areas available for private use.
A villa can offer a personal base for a smaller gathering. We check bedroom configurations, staffing, catering facilities and event permissions, including whether additional guests or external suppliers are allowed.
A rural setting can suit a private meal, celebration or stay with a connection to the surrounding landscape. We assess access, services, accommodation and indoor alternatives before recommending a property.
When the event venue cannot accommodate everyone, we can coordinate nearby hotels at different price points. Transfers and meeting points are planned alongside the event timings.
Meet Sardinia through its food
A food experience gives guests something to do together and a chance to meet the people behind it. We choose hosts and formats around the group, the location and the time available.
A cooking session can introduce seadas, the traditional Sardinian cheese-filled pastry commonly served with honey. Guests can learn the preparation with a local host before enjoying what they have made together.
A visit or workshop with a cheese producer can explore the making and tasting of pecorino. The format depends on the host, with demonstrations or hands-on participation confirmed before booking.
A winery visit or olive oil tasting can become part of a wider day out or a shorter activity between events. We coordinate appointments, group sizes and transport, considering alternatives for guests who do not drink alcohol.
A catered villa dinner, restaurant meal or countryside lunch can bring regional cooking into the main celebration. We coordinate menus, dietary requirements, service and the setting around the occasion.

Explore around your event
We suggest activities within practical reach of your accommodation. Some can be shared by the whole group; others can be offered as smaller options before everyone meets again.
Explore a stretch of coastline with a boat and route suited to the group. We check boarding arrangements, capacity, timing and weather alternatives with the operator before including the outing in the programme.
A suitable sea outing may include time in the water, according to conditions and the operator’s arrangements. We consider the participants’ confidence and provide another option for guests who prefer to remain ashore.
A coastal or countryside route can introduce the landscape beyond the accommodation. Distance, terrain, temperature and group ability are considered when selecting an activity and local guide.
A guided visit to Cagliari, Alghero or another town near your base can include history, food stops and time to explore. We choose the route around the interests and pace of the group.
An introduction to local makers can add another perspective to the stay. We explore suitable visits and workshops based on the location, group size and what each host can offer.
Not every part of the stay needs an organised outing. A relaxed lunch, time by the pool or an afternoon with no fixed plans can sit alongside the main celebration and shared activities.
Our work in Sardinia
Alessia organised an international conference in southern Sardinia for 150 participants travelling from Australia and New Zealand. The work included coordinating the hotel and meeting spaces, coaches and cars, restaurants, boats and local suppliers.
The programme combined professional sessions with winery visits, wine and olive oil tastings, sport fishing and a class making seadas. Meals and activities were organised around the conference timetable and the different requirements of the group.
When poor weather affected a planned boat activity, Alessia arranged a pecorino-making workshop instead. The programme changed, while guests still had a shared experience connected to the island.
Planning the stay
We compare Cagliari, Olbia or Alghero according to available flights and the location of the venue. Selecting the right arrival point can make a considerable difference to the onward journey.
We review room types, availability and accommodation budgets alongside the venue choice. For guests staying across several properties, we coordinate the transport and information they need to join the programme.
The date affects accommodation, flight options, outdoor dining and activities on the water. We check which services will be operating during your stay before building them into the plans.
Boat outings and outdoor events need alternatives agreed with the relevant suppliers. We consider these alongside accommodation, catering, transport and activities, so you understand the arrangements and costs before confirming.
Your planning team
You work directly with Alessia Piperno on the occasion, the guest experience and the decisions along the way. Her experience coordinating a large international conference in Sardinia informs the practical planning behind group stays and events.
Selected collaborators and trusted local suppliers support each project according to its size and requirements. We coordinate responsibilities, timings and guest arrangements, with the on-site support agreed as part of your proposal.
For clients planning from abroad, calls, shared proposals and live video visits where available can help with venue choices and preparations.
