- about us
Welcome to our world
Sardinian Places is part of Serenity Holidays, a privately owned, independent holiday company also offering other alluring destinations, including Corsica, The Gambia, Senegal, Cape Verde and Goa.
Our Company
Serenity Holidays was established in the late 1980s by Stephen and Sandra Wilde, beginning a remarkable journey focused on flights and holidays to The Gambia in West Africa.
For many years, this beautiful destination remained our area of expertise until 2003, when the acquisition of Sussex-based tour operator, Holiday Places, allowed us to expand our horizons and embrace a variety of European destinations, including the captivating mainland France and the enchanting island of Corsica.
In recent times, a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth has enriched the Serenity Holidays portfolio with the vibrant cultures of Cape Verde, Goa, Senegal, and the stunning landscapes of Sardinia.
Every one of our specialist holidays embodies great value and diverse choices. As an independent company, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and service, ensuring each journey is a memorable experience.
Our awards
In 2024, we were delighted our specialist travel brands, The Gambia Experience and Corsican Places, were awarded Feefo’s Platinum Trusted Service Award, along with the newly introduced “10 Years of Excellence Award.” This distinguished accolade highlights our commitment to exceptional customer service over the past decade.
The Trusted Service Award, offered exclusively by Feefo, acknowledges businesses that consistently provide excellent service for 10 consecutive years. While many consumers may receive a Trusted Service Award, only a select few have the distinction of achieving 10 years of outstanding service.
Adding to our achievements for 2024, Serenity Holidays further bolstered its brand recognition by securing the Gold Trusted Service Award for our Cape Verde Experience product.
