I did a cycle tour around southern half of Sardinia around March time in 2009. Had a good time with some honest climbing, coast road was not flat and going over to the other side of the island involved some hills. That being said, there was the lovely sound of sheep bells ringing from the flocks around and even picked myself up one from the local agricultural store. Got the impression that it could get v windy up on the tops going on the trees if you were up there at the wrong time (I was pretty lucky with the weather)
Tourism sector was practically deserted at that time of the year - I can remember rocking up to one tourist town hoping to find a campsite and restaurant open bit everything was shut prompting an expected ride onto the next town after an already long day in the saddle (can imagine it's a very different place in high summer)
I wild camped most of the time which l had no problems with but probably helped it was in the off season.
Flew in and out of Cagliari picking up a bike box from a cycle store on the way out (I'd emailed them before leaving London but don't think that made a whole lot of difference)
Happy to answer any questions you have but it was over a decade ago now so memories are far from clear and situations may have changed
