With a population of just 13,184, Villacidro is a sleepy Sardinian town that will appeal only to the most dedicated small-town enthusiasts. The town borders several other municipalities, but the text provides no indication that it offers much in the way of amenities or attractions. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as Villacidro shares administrative duties with the nearby city of Sanluri. For those seeking an authentic taste of rural Italian life, Villacidro may scratch that itch - but most will find little to draw them to this remote corner of Sardinia.
