What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the villa itself has been beautifully preserved and attractively updated; ... historical architecture and contemporary design go happily hand in hand.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Roman Amphitheatre sits just up the street, and the medieval lanes of central Cagliari are an easy walk away.
The rooms
Dark wood and exposed stone ground the bedrooms, and the split-level Executive Suite has its own private sauna.
The garden hot tub
A heated hydromassage tub sits tucked among the garden greenery, and massages are arranged on request.
Bar & Lounge
Bartenders pour cocktails across the black counter, and tables receive tiered stands of savory aperitivo bites.
At the table
Breakfast brings local Sardinian cheeses and fresh pastries, and the Chef's Table hosts private multi-course dinners.
How it began

The Sardinian Cellino family restored the home in honor of their matriarch, Fanny, inspired by her love of Parisian salons.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
