Europe

Sardinia

As the Mediterranean's second largest island, Sardinia is a place of distinguished beauty paralleled with mystery, vibrant colours and exotic fragrances.  Its coastline is probably Europe's most spectacular.  Its crystal clear waters teem with fish and shellfish and its beaches rival those of the Caribbean or Pacific coral reefs.  Its broad valleys turn into golden oceans of wheat in summer.  Its rugged mountains, pocketed with caves are also home to fields of wild herbs.  Full of history and artefacts, some of the continent's oldest archeological remains, dating back to 1700 BC can be found nestled amongst the olive groves, Sardinia is a treasure to explore.

La Costa Smeralda occupies the northeast corner of  Sardinia from Olbia to Santa Teresa Gallura and follows the dramatic coastline of inlets and gulfs.  The area has unbelievable natural beauty, with some of the clearest waters in the entire Mediterranean.  Away from the coast the road travels into the ancient lands of the Nuraghi, with ruins of their distinctive structures as well as even older prehistoric dolmens known as the Tomb of the Giant.

Accommodation in Sardinia

A secret refuge of rugged beauty, sparkling turquoise sea waters rinsing sand-filled beaches, explosions of wildflowers and romantic covers highlight the stunning coastline of Hotel Romazzino.  A whitewashed structure with opulent gardens guiding the path to an immaculate beach.  The old world charm of the hotel's 78 guest rooms and 16 suites, each with its own terrace overlooking gardens and the sea, is complimented by the comforts and services of a modern luxury hotel.  Creatively interpreted regional specialties are served at Romazzino Restaurant on the terrace overlooking the sea.  Featuring gracious service and an intimate atmosphere, the restaurant complements the surrounding beauty with native dishes.  The hotel offers a range of recreation facilities diverse enough  to delight even the most devoted sports enthusiasts.

Perfectly created to match its setting along the bay of Cala di Volpe, both inside and out the hotel offers an ever-changing kind of visual excitement and satisfaction.  Ornately styled and coloured ceramic tiles paint pictures of and pay homage to Sardinia history.
Each of the 125 spacious, individually appointed guest rooms and suites offer a balcony overlooking the scenic panorama and are decorated with a unique selection of traditional furnishing and art.  In the restaurants guests experience international cuisine prepared from the finest local fare and the hotels dedicated staff provide warm, personalised service in the Sardinian tradition.
