"Sardinia may not be wholly undiscovered, but compared to the Italian mainland it’s where you’ll find a surplus of rural tranquility — and in an environment like this, hotels like the Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru Resort thrive. It’s set on the greater Costa Smeralda, a few minutes’ drive from the coast proper, but this old farm is pure rustic romance: stone buildings, olive groves, and agriturismo ambience to spare. Rooms and suites include family-size suites as well as classic rooms, and its private villas sleep up to six. Bring an appetite: La Ciminea serves a refined take on the region’s characteristically hearty cuisine." - Tablet Hotels
