hello! I have to agree with the above poster. Most everyone uses the national monopolies and the other options are often scams or not as efficient. For example, recently someone came to my door and asked to see my last ENEL bill. She claimed to work for them and I knew better than to hand it over as I had heard that another company will switch your bill with just your customer number etc. I think the best thing you can do is monitor your usage by reading and taking photos of your gas gage etc. as often they bill you on an appoximate amount.

I visited Sardinia for the first time last August {yes I know its probably most crowded then} but I really loved Alghero & Stintino {that beautiful Pelosa beach!} and I loved it. September sounds like a great month to visit and hopefully cheaper! Thankfully there are a lot of ryanair flights to the island.
