Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort sits along the rugged Gallura coast, twenty minutes from Santa Teresa Gallura, with views extending across the strait to Corsica.
The rooms
Built from local granite and cork, rooms feature natural stone verandas and vibrant woven textiles crafted in nearby Aggius.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Multi-tiered seawater pools step down granite boulders toward the coast, looking straight out over the archipelago.
The thalasso circuit
Four outdoor seawater pools are heated to varying temperatures among granite boulders, beside a mosaic-tiled steam room.
At the table
Seven restaurants range from candlelit seafood tables on private cove beaches to terraces facing the Strait of Bonifacio.
How it began
Founded in 1958 as northern Sardinia's first holiday retreat, the property predated the luxury development of the Costa Smeralda.
