A chic hillside retreat
Staying here feels like a tiny Sardinian village that’s snuck off to live its best life in the hills above the Costa Smeralda. You’ll be tucked away among rock formations, olives and wild herbs, with Porto Cervo’s yacht-filled marina and designer boutiques just a short drive down the road. Spend days beach-hopping between those famous emerald coves, taking boat trips to nearby islands or heading inland to explore traditional villages and viewpoints.
Back at the hotel, everything slows down nicely. The swimming pool’s framed by honey-coloured stone and greenery, with loungers that are made for long, lazy afternoons and “just one more dip” moments. Little paths wind between the buildings, so simply walking to breakfast feels like wandering through a very stylish hamlet. Sunset is special up here too, with the sky turning peach over the hills and glints of sea in the distance.
To fuel up, the on-site restaurant leans into Sardinian produce: local cheeses, seafood, grilled meats, garden salads and olive oil you’ll want to take home, plus a wine list big on regional bottles. After dinner, linger over a mirto or coffee and plan tomorrow’s cove. If you like your Costa Smeralda glamorous but grounded, this hotel’s pure holiday daydream territory.
Just to add, this hotel's located a 10-minute drive to Porto Cervo, so car hire's recommended if you stay here.
