I have horse whenever I find it on the menu - every time I'm in Nyon I get a steak in and it was a regular fixture on my barbecue during holidays to Sardinia - even to the point of flying five pounds of the stuff back from Italy, frozen in my luggage.
I'm not convinced what we had in Neuville was horse but it was barely edible so it could have been just about anything. My money's on wellington boot with fat glued to it.

heh - you could be right.

agreed.
On a similar note, just think how many steaks you could get out of this:

It's rural Italy, popular with wops on holiday. Easyjet fly to Cagliari in the south, but only during the on season. Ryanair fly to Alghero in the north all year round. The drive from one to the other is fucking horrible (at least in a Smart ForFour at night) and takes a good few hours, so choose wisely.
Some great beaches if you like that kind of thing. I've only stayed a couple of times in a gratis apartment at Is Molas (golf resort near Pula, just down the coast from Cagliari), so haven't really done the proper holiday experience, more a staying with friends type of deal. The main upmarket resort areas seem to be the Costa Smerelda on the East coast, which I've not seen, and the Forte Village near Pula - have a Google. Alghero's a bit more authentic, being a working port, but I've only done that as a day trip.
They're big on fish and limoncello and it ain't particularly cheap. Beyond that, have a Google.
