What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rustic stone construction of this old structure is used as a frame to contain some impressive modernist design.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The pines open directly onto Tancau Beach, and the rugged hiking trails of Baunei begin nearby.
The rooms
Bedrooms take their names from mountain villages, lined with oak floorboards and hand-embroidered Sardinian fabrics.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Loungers line the stone deck around the freshwater pool, looking out across pines toward distant granite peaks.
The spa
Therapists work in a curtained cabana among the coastal pines, giving seaside massages with Comfort Zone products.
Restaurant
Ristorante Lanthia
Tables sit along a shaded terrace and behind granite walls, serving roasted culurgiones and Cannonau from the family estate.
How it began
