Hotel Pitrizza, Costa Smeralda

15 of the Best Hotels in Sardinia for a Taste of La Dolce Vita | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located along the emerald coastline of Porto Cervo overlooking the Bay of Liscia di Vacca, this hotel evokes a secluded Sardinian village with architecture inspired by ancient Nuraghi—granite, wood, marble and Mediterranean scrub dominate the design. Its 65 rooms, suites and private villas are scattered across juniper-scented landscapes with terraces, gardens or private pools and minimalist, warm interiors in pastel hues. Days here unfold slowly on a private beach shaded by thatched parasols (the best spot for sunsets), nibbling light Sardinian dishes and sipping Vermentino; evenings are for The Grill’s open-air seafood, wood-grilled meats or pizza baked in a wood-fired oven, and the gym offers panoramic sea views." - Nicky Swallow, Lucrezia Worthington
