Sardinia
This has to be one of the best beach based tennis holidays in Europe.
One of the most idyllic islands in the Mediterranean surrounded by beautiful clear waters. Our base at Puntaldia is situated on the north east coast, with spectacular beaches within walking distance of the apartments. The famed port of Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda is within easy travelling distance.
Courts
The tennis courts are within walking distance of all apartments and consist of 3 hard courts and 1 synthetic grass court with a swimming pool courtside.
The season runs from the end of March until the middle of September.
Coaching Philosophy
Everyone is treated as an individual, with an effort to find solutions suited to their game style, age, aspirations and ability level.
We do not teach shots in exactly the same way to everyone. Just look at the best players in the world to see the variety of styles.
What is important to us is that you are playing in a manner which is mechanically efficient so as not to cause injuries, as an improvement in mechanics will ultimately benefit a player's game.
