Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru is above all a story of love – the love I have for the ancestral land of my mother’s family. I was born and raised in Florence, but felt the pull to return to the countryside of the Costa Smeralda where my grandfather used to raise livestock.

You can become part of this story too, because the welcome we extend to you is fundamental to how we are. Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru was the home of sharecroppers. I can still remember when my mother and father would bring me here as a baby to gather the produce offered up by this fertile land.

I was enchanted by the countryside of Arzachena and knew it would always be a part of me. My career as a lawyer finally gave way to my desire to return to Stazzo, to give it a new life and so I decided to restore it into the 4-star resort it is today.

It wasn’t always an easy task, as I wanted to renovate it without changing it and keep Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru feeling like home. So I kept all the original spaces and took care of every piece of furniture myself, every detail of the resort, just as if it were my own home… because it really is!

LOCATION
The 4-star Resort Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru in Arzachena is sited right in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, between the wild countryside of Gallura and the most renowned Sardinia beaches. Spend your holiday here and you can have it all: the peace of nature, trips to historic nuraghe and archeological areas, the beautiful sea of the Costa Smeralda and Maddalena Archipelago.

ROOMS & SUITES
Any hotel will say they want you to feel at home. But it’s only here at the Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru Resort in Arzachena that you’ll actually be at home: one like no other on the Costa Smeralda.

To make you feel fully at home, we have foregone typical hotel furnishings and instead filled our rooms with items from the family: each wardrobe, writing desk, trunk and sewing machine, the table and wrought-iron bedstead all once belonged to our grandparents and great-grandparents, each made with care by local craftsmen all those years ago.

We want you to wake up each morning surrounded by things that have meaning and fall asleep each night happy to be at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru.

SUITE WITH PRIVATE POOL
The Suite with Private Pool at our resort in Sardinia combines innate elegance, an astonishing view of the Gallura countryside and the luxury of your own exclusive pool. Fully renovated and embellished by custom made furniture in stylish colors, this suite embodies the epitome of relaxation.

Between day trips and tanning at the beach, pamper yourself with a rejuvenating shower with steam bath and enjoy the absolute silence on your veranda. Retreat to your private pool whenever you want, nestled in the emerald greenery, and discover unexpected glimpses of Beauty.

Layout: living room with two sofa beds, bedroom with queen sized bed (170 x 200 cm), hallway with mini bar and luggage storage space, large bathroom with shower and steam bath, second bathroom with shower, ample and equipped scenic veranda (20 m2), private pool.

FAMILY SUITE
It’s hard to resist the temptation to spend the whole day in this suite, rather than going out to catch some sun or visit some ancient Sardinian “nuraghe” along the Costa Smeralda.

If you’re traveling as a family, you’ll appreciate the separate bedroom of the Family Suite where the kids can play or rest. Or if you’re here just with your partner, you’ll enjoy long evenings sitting out on the veranda, counting the stars. Between a sip of Vermentino wine and the soft breeze caressing the olive trees in the garden, you’ll be taken by the magic of the view.

SUITE
The Suites at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru are not only furnished with exquisite taste, they are also large and practical. After a day at the beach or out on a trip, it feels good to return to your Suite and enjoy some peace and quiet on the veranda.

If you feel a little lazy, just spend the afternoon at one of our two pools, swimming under the cloudless Sardinian sky. Layout: day area with double daybed, night area with double bed (170 x 200), passageway with mobile fridge bar, suitcases, large bathroom with shower, spacious furnished veranda with a view (20 sqm).

CLASSIC ROOM
The Classic Rooms have been gently restored, maintaining all the charm and warmth of Stazzo. These might be our smallest rooms but they are full of surprises: a walk-in closet to hold your cases and bags, dresses, and shoes, and a hydromassage shower in the modern stone bathroom.

Ideal for washing away the sand and fatique from an afternoon at the beach or pool. Layout: bedroom with walk-in closet; bathroom with dressing room and hydromassage shower; furnished veranda with a view.

VILLAS ON THE COSTA SMERALDA
Our villas on the Costa Smeralda are like stories just waiting to be heard. Both Lo Stazzo and Il Pagliaio have been lovingly restored from the homes where the sharecroppers once lived and worked.

In the villa Lo Stazzo, the wooden loft above your head was where salami, sausages and smoked cheese were hung, while your room is where the sharecropper’s family would gather, to share a meal or stay warm beside the fire. The villa Il Pagliaio was used to store straw or for crushing grapes.

VILLA LO STAZZO
The Villa Lo Stazzo of the 4-star Resort Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru in Costa Smeralda was originally the house of the farmer. To reveal its full rustic, familiar character during its restoration we kept all the original materials and furnished it with period furniture from our own family.

Take a morning dip in the outdoor pool behind the villa and sit in the spacious sun area, and if you find it a little chilly in the evening, warm yourself by the old fireplace. There’s no better place to enjoy Gallura and the Costa Smeralda.

VILLA IL PAGLIAIO
Once used as a hay barn, this two-story Gallura-style building is now the villa Il Pagliaio at the 4-star resort of Stazzo Lo Ciaccaru on the Costa Smeralda. The ground floor is for relaxing: the living room with fireplace and the dining room furnished with period furniture and other pieces in country-chic style, and the kitchen. On the upper floor there are two clean and quiet double bedrooms, and there is also a second bathroom with shower.

To enjoy more privacy, there is a third bedroom on the ground floor with a large bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, ideal for a hot bubble bath when you return from the sea. For candle-lit evenings outside there is a nice wrought-iron table and chairs set amidst the ancient olive trees.

LA CIMINEA RESTAURANT
The Ciminea Restaurant on the Costa Smeralda offers a cuisine that’s not just mediterranean but fundamentally Sardinian. As we couldn’t imagine you leaving this special place without having tried all the tastes and smells of Sardinia, we have chosen to offer a cuisine that reflects our people and style of life: frank, direct, genuine, and fragrant.

We bring to the table the best that the region has to offer: from local producers we buy Sardinian pork, sheep’s cheese, seasonal smoked cheeses, honey, and fresh fish; we grow our own herbs and fruit, making our own jams from our lemons, oranges, figs, and prickly pears.

BAR WITH A VIEW
Our new bar at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru is a beautiful covered terrace with a view over the hills of the resort. We have furnished it in the hotel style with the addition of lanterns and candles, to create a relaxed atmosphere perfect for relaxing each evening with a local wine or mint cocktail.

WEDDINGS ON THE COSTA SMERALDA
The 4-star Hotel Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru in Arzachena sits in an enchanted location, in the heart of the Gallura countryside, and just a few steps from the sea of the Costa Smeralda. Picture your wedding here, amidst ancient nuraghi and stunning beaches, in the infinite glow of the Sardinian sun, the Maddalena Archipelago shimmering in the distance.

The never-ageing charm of our Resort is the ideal setting for your dream wedding in Sardinia. If you make an exclusive booking of the 4-star Hotel Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru the entire staff will be available for you, to make your day truly unforgettable.

CUSTOMIZED ASSISTANCE
Geraldina and the entire staff will offer the best logistical advice for planning custom-made experiences while you’re here: a golf day, boat trip, hike, off-road excursion, and much more. And to arrange a private chef’s dinner in your villa, book a babysitter, or wash and iron your clothes.

PARKS, POOLS & RELAXATION

TRIPS ON SEA OR LAND
Boat trips to the Maddalena Archipelago or hidden spots along the Emerald coast; trekking and nordic walking in the hinterland, climbing or horseback riding along deserted beaches. Choose where you want to go and how you want to get there, and we’ll arrange the ideal trip for you.

THINGS TO SEE ON THE COSTA SMERALDA
Think that the Costa Smeralda is all about high fashion and jet setters? Then you don’t know the world of Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru, of the countryside and archeological surprises of the Gallura region. We’ll be happy to help give you directions and suggestions for exploring each corner of the Cosa Smeralda, from the better-known parts to those far from the tourist ferries.

COSTA SMERALDA’S BEACHES
The Costa Smeralda is a succession of white beaches and incredible cliffs ideal for windsurfing and diving, canoeing and kite surfing. Dive into the turquoise sea off the Spiaggia del Principe in Romazzino, an inlet protected by dense Mediterranean vegetation.

In addition to the five beautiful beaches of Punta Capriccioli and their crystalline sea and pink rock formations, don’t miss Liscia Ruja, the white beaches of Pevero and at Cala di Volpe, a large bay of four other beautiful beaches.

BAJA SARDINIA
This spot once just had the Monti di Mola and a small church surrounded by wilderness, but today this is one of the most popular destinations in the world for water sports enthusiasts and travelers. By day it’s a quiet seaside resort and in the evening it comes alive with clubs, restaurants, and open-air discos.

PORTO CERVO
Porto Cervo is one of the most trendy and refined Italy destinations. Watch the luxury yachts in the harbor, book a candelight dinner in one of its elegant restaurants serving fresh fish and champagne, wait the dawn in one of its chic nightclub. This is the center of Costa Smeralda movida. A walk along the long Promenade Du Port is a must, browsing the boutiques along the renowned little squares of Porto Cervo.

MADDALENA ARCHIPELAGO
One of Italy’s finest national parks, created in 1994, the Maddalena Archipelago lies in front of Baja Sardinia. As well as Maddalena, the other islands include Caprera, Santo Stefano, Budelli, Santa Maria, Razzoli, Spargi, as well as smaller ones.

The sea of this archipelago are an amzing mix of acquamarine, turquoise, and emerald green. You have to visit the beach of Rosa di Budelli, where the sand is made up of very fine shell dust and gives off a rosy hue.

STELLA MARIS CHURCH 
Overlooking the Gulf of Porto Cervo is the charming Stella Maris Church, designed in the 1960s by Michele Busiri Vici, one of the architects who, together with the Aga Khan, gave life to the so-called “Gallura style”. The bright white church stands out with its soft, sinuous shapes against the blue sea dotted with luxurious yachts moored in the tourist harbor.

The iron cross and large monoliths that support the portico echo Moorish art, setting it apart from traditional stereotypes. The location offers a magnificent panoramic view, while inside the church is the El Greco masterpiece ‘Mater Dolorosa’.

GOLF
The Pevero Golf Club is one of Sardinia’s best-known clubs and is at Cava di Volpe, just 20 minutes by car from the Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru Resort: 18 holes of varied diificulty offer breathtaking views over the sea and inland hills during your game.

ARZACHENA
Just five minutes from Stazzo, the comune of Arzachena includes a charming historic town center known for its white stone and pink granite houses. Don’t miss a visit to the old Church of Santa Maria della Neve and the Archeological Park: among the largest and most important in all of Sardinia and which includes several nuraghe remains, necropolises and the Giant’s Grave of Coddu Vecchiu, recognisable by its high stele and dating to 2,500 BC.

THE NURAGHE OF LA PRISGIONA
The nuragic complex of La Prisgiona is one of the largest and best preserved in the north of Sardinia. Dating back to the 14th and 11th centuries BC, it houses the remains of a village with over 90 huts spread over 5 hectares. A visit here is like going back in time, and you can see sacred buildings, shops, and tombs among the ruins.

CODDU VECCHIU
This is one of the most famous monumental tombs in Sardinia, dating back to the 2nd millennium BC. Its characteristic monoliths embedded in the ground testify to its importance to the community, who came here to pay homage to the dead. The structure’s unique shape might signify the head of the ancient god Taurus, or a woman in labor, as an allusion to death seen as rebirth.

At the heart of a 6-hectare property, 19 independently accessed rooms and suites encircle the Clubhouse which is home to the reception, restaurant, lounge bar and two swimming pools set on panoramic terraces overlooking the sea.

Everything in Li Finistreddi epitomises luxury and simplicity. White and natural tones dominate, contrasting with the blue of the pools and the bright skies of northern Sardinia. In the evening, when the sunset outlines the silhouettes of the rocks, the darker shape of Corsica appears in the distance.

Below, the sea takes on the colours of the sky and the horizon disappears, leaving guests to concentrate on the aperitifs and dishes served at tables where the fragrances of the surrounding vegetation blend with the aromas of great Mediterranean cuisine from the Osteria Gourmet restaurant.

ROOMS & SUITES
Perched high on the Li Finistreddi hill, raised up behind the Clubhouse, each of our rooms are named after local flora. Each has its own independent external access, a private veranda with sea views and all manner of amenities, including Frette bed linens.

The decor embodies sobriety and refinement: local materials and styles are liberally employed, including terracotta, Orosei stone, cane ceilings and chestnut beams, while the duo of white and ecru chosen for the tapestries perfectly complements the sea views and blue skies.

EXCLUSIVE SUITE
The Leccio Suite is a haven of absolute privacy with views over the sea and the park surrounding the hotel, and a direct vista of the setting sun. Equipped with a private heated pool, a solarium and a large veranda, it welcomes guests in a plush, comfortable and chic environment.

The living room, illuminated by white floors in Orosei stone, highlights details borrowed from the local style, such as the ceilings with exposed beams, while the pastel colours create a pleasing continuity with the surrounding nature.

The bathroom, opposite the walk-in wardrobe, offers a double shower, Frette bathrobes and exclusive amenities. Generous sliding doors connect the interior to a veranda with a roof in chestnut and terracotta flooring. Upon request, we can server guests a private dinner on the lawn, under the deep blue skies of Sardinia.

POOL SUITES
The Mirto and Rosa Pool Suites offer guests the comforts of a villa. The suites have two independent entrances, a small private garden with heated pool, a solarium and a covered veranda, with reserved parking adjacent. Guests can dine outside under the shade of the veranda, or on the lawn with the coastline, the sea and the islands stretching out before them.

The white floors in Orosei stone diffuse light throughout the living room, the sleeping area with new king size floating divan beds, and the spacious bathrooms with a double shower and Frette bathrobes.

The furnishings and finishes are minimalist, and modern amenities like Bose sound docks are discreetly concealed in both suites. Fabrics and furnishings are sourced from the best local artisans, and reflect the colours of the landscape. The scents of Mediterranean essences and the sea air infuse the rooms through the large windows.

RESTAURANT
The Osteria Gourmet has built its reputation on selecting small local producers and creating internationally-inspired Mediterranean cuisine with a Sardinian character and hints of the Orient. These come together in dishes such as seaweed, vegetable and shellfish broth, or fregola pasta with rockfish, samphire and lemon.

The identity of Sardinian wine and cuisine is strengthened in these combinations, and is enhanced by a cellar of prestigious labels and some little-known indigenous varieties that communicate the culture, soil and climate of the island.

The magnificent glass-fronted veranda overlooking the sea finds a natural extension in the external terrace that is home to the hotel’s illuminated pool, where bon vivants from all over the coast come to dine. The small organic vegetable garden behind the kitchen is open to visitors and seasonal local vegetables are complemented with freshly-picked aromatic plants, a particular favourite with vegetarian patrons.

BAR
The bar, also frequented by outside guests, serves the two large panoramic terraces of the hotel which feature illuminated pools. These large spaces are home to private corners, providing different ways of enjoying life at Li Finistreddi. During the day, the bar offers service at your lounger with fresh fruit smoothies, vegetable juices straight from the garden, and all kinds of drinks, accompanied by a refined snack menu.

The most magical moment, which brings guests from all over the coast to visit Li Finistreddi, is the aperitif – accompanied by a choice of tastings prepared by the chef. In addition to international cocktails, our bartender has some original creations in store, incorporating Sardinian aromatics such as myrtle and juniper.

WEDDING & EVENTS

SPA
At Li Finistreddi, wellness treatments take on an essential quality: while during the rest of the year they serve to mitigate, curb and contain stress and fatigue, during a holiday they can finally soak into the deepest layers of the spirit, leaving more lasting and therefore more precious effects.

With this in mind the spa, also open to external clients, offers a specially designed wellness path – for private use – which includes a salt water whirlpool, a wet area with a Turkish bath and sensory showers, and two treatment rooms for both individuals and couples. The spa is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9.30am to 12.30pm and from 3.00pm to 7.30pm.

LOCATION
Li Finistreddi is located on a hill in the seaside resort of Cannigione, with a wonderful view of the archipelago of La Maddalena. The small town of Arzachena is located in the immediate vicinity and offers a historical centre and several archaeological monuments reflecting the ancient and modern history of an island that, thanks to its considerable distance from the mainland, has preserved a precious cultural heritage.

The Costa Smeralda, with its nightspots and trendy shopping is less than half an hour away, and just a little further along is the chic village of San Pantaleo. A few minutes’ drive north, Porto Rafael welcomes visitors with its small square, the Monte Altura fort and the lighthouse of Punta Sardegna.

The tours will include visits to house-museums, prehistoric nuraghi structures and sacred wells, botanical gardens and domus deanas, also known as fairy houses or witches’ houses – the most iconic remnants of pre-Nuragic Sardinia.

ELEONORA D’ARBOREA TOUR – CASTELSARDO
Eleonora d’Arborea is one of the most important characters in Sardinian history. A ruling judge, heroine and patriot, a champion of women’s rights and her island, she governed her Judicate, or kingdom, in an exemplary way and set out the famous “Carta de Logu”, a very modern code of law for the Middle Ages.

On her trail we visit Castelsardo, within whose walls she lived for six years and where her sons Mariano and Federico, future ruling judges, were born. After the visit to the castle, which also houses the Museum of Weaving – a traditional art from Castelsardo – we stop at the Elephant Rock and discover the Domus de Fate (fairy house) carved out within it.

On the return journey, along one of the most scenic roads on the island, we will stop off at Capo Testa to see some of the most spectacular granite formations in the Mediterranean and, from the lighthouse, enjoy views of Corsica and the Gulf of Asinara. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 6 p.m.

GRAZIA DELEDDA TOUR – NUORO
Grazia Deledda, one of the greatest Italian writers of the 1900s and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926, was born and raised in Nuoro. She was very fond of the country church of Our Lady of Solitude, even naming her last book after it. A truly pleasant place, the location for religious gatherings and festivals, at the foot of Mount Ortobene.

After visiting the church, we’ll begin the ascent of the mountain, whose summit provides a magnificent panorama over Nuoro and Barbagia, and boasts a majestic statue of Christ the Redeemer, the realisation of which Grazia Deledda herself was involved in.

In the historic centre of Nuoro we visit the Museum within the writer’s residence, to get a better picture of her personal and idealistic legacy. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 5 p.m.

MARIA LAI TOUR – ULASSAI
Maria Lai is one of the most celebrated Italian artists of the modern era. Her works are exhibited in several contemporary art museums, including the MOMA in New York.

Born in 1919 in Ulassai, Ogliastra, she studied art in Rome and, after a long artistic journey, returned to the island where she found an extremely modern mode of expression through the traditional arts of the place, and its textiles in particular.

The excursion takes us to Ulassai, where the “Art Station” houses over 150 works by Lai. A walk through the streets of the village, dotted with pieces that Maria Lai created in collaboration with other respected artists, or in concert with her fellow villagers, reveals works such as “Il lavatoio”, 1982, “La scarpata”, 1993, “Le capre cucite”,1992, and “La strada del Rito”, 1992. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 6 p.m.

ANTONIO GRAMSCI TOUR – GHILARZA
Antonio Gramsci was a politician, philosopher, linguist and literary critic. Considered one of the most important thinkers of the 20th Century, he spent part of his life in Ghilarza, a town in the valley of the river Tirso, in the province of Oristano, where his house is located.

Within the walls and rooms of this dwelling dating back to the early 1800s, we can retrace places of recollection and affection, which Gramsci’s sense of nostalgia often brought him back to.

These are the environments described in famous passages from his Letters from Prison and Prison Notebooks. After a short tour through the streets of the centre, we will visit two celebrated archaeological sites in the Ghilarza area: the Nuraghe Losa and the sacred well of Santa Cristina. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 6.30 p.m.

EVA MAMELI TOUR – CAGLIARI
Mother of the famous writer Italo Calvino, Eva Mameli Calvino was the first woman in Italy to be appointed to a professorship in botany. Given her remarkable contribution to botanical and agronomic scientific research and to the development of floral biology, Eva is considered the most significant figure in natural conservation of the interwar period.

In a journey from the north to the south coast of the island, we will discover the natural beauty and the incredible variety of landscapes that characterise Sardinia. We will arrive in Cagliari, where Eva graduated in science, taught botany at the university and directed the botanical gardens until 1929.

We will explore these same botanical gardens, before touring the streets of the historic centre that provided the backdrop to the scholar’s life. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 8.30 p.m.

EDINA ALTARA TOUR – SASSARI
Edina, a renowned Italian illustrator, decorator, painter and ceramist, was born in Sassari in 1988. She grew up in an all-female family, with her mother and three sisters. From a very young age she created paper toys, which would mature into refined collages, illustrations, paintings on canvas and ceramics.

The designer Gio Ponti commissioned her, along with other artists, to work on the decorative furnishings of five ocean liners, including the Andrea Doria. We will discover her talent, which was bordering on unacceptable for a woman of her era, through a tour of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in the historic centre of Sassari, which houses a rich collection of her works.

In Sassari we can also visit one of the most important archaeological museums in Sardinia, or continue on to Porto Torres and visit the prehistoric altar of Monte d’Accoddi. Departure from Abi d’Oru at 8.30 a.m. and return at around 5.30 p.m.

It is difficult not to take away with you the light of this land, its scents and flavours, the joys of travel and discovery, the continuous sense of wonder. Nature. Beauty. Tradition. It’s time to relax, reconnect, let yourself be pampered. Nestled in the Gallura countryside, soaking up all the peace and charm of this stunning corner of Sardinia.

Many years ago, my parents Giorgia and Emmanuel fell in love with this delightful corner of Sardinia and dreamed of building a summer retreat here for myself and my four brothers – Timothy, Michael, Daniele and Beniamino. Today that retreat has become the Albero Capovolto, meaning “Upside-Down Tree”, a name that underlines the fundamental value of our roots.

ROOMS & SUITES
Albero Capovolto offers seven rooms and suites, each different, and each welcoming and romantic. All of the rooms feature meticulous attention to detail, with individually selected furnishings and fabrics, elegant private bathrooms, and views of the plants and flowers that illuminate our garden.

The light, the breeze, and the colours and scents of nature flood every one of our rooms, which is why we made the choice not to add TVs. A place to read, reflect, dream.

LUCE
This room is a shining star, filled with fresh and pure light. Gentle breezes ruffle the curtains to reveal the bright colours of the bougainvillea which covers the pergola, carrying in the heady scents of the native vegetation.

INTIMITA’
This room is steeped in happy memories. From the photos on the walls to the family embroidery and fine fabrics of the curtains and bedspread, and the antique furnishings and ceramics. A comfortable, cosy and intimate nest in which to rest, meditate, and let time simply flow.

INCANTO
This room inspires amazement, enchantment and wonder. The view over the countryside, the gently lingering sunset and the sense of total privacy convey the feeling of floating, surrounded by the flowers and plants of a luxuriant Mediterranean garden. Pure peace, nature and harmony.

RESPIRO
This spacious room invites you to breathe: breathe in the constant gentle breeze that passes through it, providing profound restfulness, breathe in the memories, from photos and precious fabrics, which envelop guests in a soothing atmosphere of absolute relaxation.

THE BREAKFAST
A rich buffet of genuine, locally-sourced products prepared with care and passion every morning, offering you a calm awakening full of sensations, colours and home-cooked flavours.

A moment for you to enjoy views over the countryside at sunrise, and plan your day exploring the region. We believe that every morning should begin with energy, joy and the promise of an amazing day.

THE APERITIF
Take advantage of the peace and tranquillity of the afternoon hours to explore fare from the best wineries, craft breweries and distilleries of the island, united by their knowledge of the land and native blooms, respect for traditions and carefully selected raw materials.

THE POOL
The pool is at the heart of the house. Nestled amidst olive trees, aromatic herbs and native flowers, a place where you can cool off and enjoy the view of the garden and the surrounding countryside.

Illuminated by the sunrise from the early hours of the morning, and reflecting the sunset in the evening, the pool creates an unforgettable setting. An ideal place to rest and relax, surrounded by nature. Immersed in the Gallura countryside and caressed by the aromas of thyme, helichrysum and rosemary, the pool is pure pleasure.

All around, enveloping seats and comfortable loungers where you can relax, read, rest and contemplate lulled by the sound of the water. To make your holiday as comfortable as possible, each room comes with a pool bag with soft terrycloth towels and relaxation pillows.

THE GARDEN
The garden at Albero Capovolto is a testament to our love of flowers and plants. The variety of native shrubs, wild plants and ornamental flowers creates unexpected corners in which to lose yourself among the changing colours and scents of the seasons.

The orchard and olive grove at the entrance to the house, a special herbarium of aromatic plants and the kitchen garden with seasonal vegetables are just some of the ways we ensure our cooking features genuine local flavours.

The vegetation shelters the house and its guests, for moments of relaxation in total privacy. A tranquillity that inspires reflection and meditation. Our garden offers shaded and hidden corners where guests can practise yoga, surrounded by the scents and colours of nature – we’ll be happy to provide a kit.

You can complete the experience with a selection of herbal teas or infusions, or freshly squeezed juices.

Our cookery lessons have been designed for guests to get hands-on with unique, genuine and locally-sourced raw materials. They can then enjoy the fruits of their labour, guided by their imagination and the know-how of experts who put their heart into creating traditional dishes every day. Because the cooking is an art, but also a pleasure we can all learn.

Holiday trips are often an occasion to celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons and birthdays. We can transform a corner of the garden into the setting for a private dinner to create unforgettable memories for you and your partner.

A day spent on a boat is the best way to discover the most beautiful beaches of the Costa Smeralda, the La Maddalena archipelago, or the unforgettable islands of Golfo Aranci.

Beaches as far as the eye can see, little coves, granite rock formations sculpted by the wind, and wild vegetation vie for place along the Gallura coastline, creating unique scenarios in a natural paradise. With our trusted partners you can choose from organised sailing tours, a private speedboat with experienced skipper, or RIB hire for an experience in total freedom.

THE COUNTRYSIDE OF SARDINIA
Grab a picnic basket with produce prepared by our staff, along with a kit of blankets and cushions, and rediscover the pleasure of living in contact with nature in an unforgettable landscape, under the shade of centuries-old cork trees or in an uncontaminated rural meadow.

An experience designed for those who rarely have the chance to stretch out and simply observe the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, immersed in the scents and sounds of the countryside, while being pampered with local delicacies.

BEEKEEPING EXPERIENCE
Thanks to a year-round mild climate, uncontaminated vegetation and rich spontaneous flora, Sardinia is renowned for producing a wide range of honeys – each with specific therapeutic, sweetening and nutritional properties.

This visit to the hives will allow you to see some of the most precious insects for our ecosystem up close, and to understand how to protect them. A tasting at the end of the tour will take you through a range of different honeys created based on the native blooms, and their miraculous properties.

SHEPHERDING TRADITIONS
Any visit to Sardinia must include the multitude of tales and traditions behind the production of the typical cheeses of the island. Each product tells its own story, influenced by the pastures and the continuously changing flow of the days and seasons.

An opportunity to learn the skills of cheese making and the agropastoral secrets that contribute to highlighting the value of the territory, while respecting the welfare of the animals.

Sardinia’s hinterland boasts a precious and unexpected heritage. To ensure maximum availability and meet the most varied requirements, we have decided to offer an exclusive private tour guide service, taking you by car to discover archaeological sites, historic towns and villages, themed museums, and local artisans and producers.

BETWEEN PORTO CERCO & ABBIADORI
Abbiadori is a pretty village , one of the small but well-known hamlets of the municipality of Arzachena. Born from an ancient stazzo, over time it has grown more and more as a reference thanks to the concentration of services present, including a bank and a pharmacy, hairdresser, beautician, an elegant destination to be discovered among the splendid beaches and the numerous varieties of cafes and restaurants. Porto Cervo certainly needs no introduction, Porto Cervo is the center around which the Costa Smeralda tourism project has developed.

The dream was born in 1962, from the brilliant intuition of the Ishmaelite prince Kharim Aga Khan, who imagined and built the village of Porto Cervo together with the creation of a port, essential to allow the mooring of yachts and sailing ships, and with the construction of services of the highest level.

From an architectural point of view, the village of Porto Cervo, still praised for its urban design, was built following the model of the medieval village , with the square as a fulcrum, with apartments, boutiques and clubs all around and a church, not far away.

In 1967, with a view to expanding the tourist offer, Porto Cervo equipped itself with two sports facilities that still exist and are operational: the Pevero Golf Club and the Cervo Tennis Club.

In the Eighties, the tourist port was born which, with over 700 berths and modern supporting equipment, is a top-level structure in the entire Mediterranean basin. Porto Cervo continues to be, even today, a reference destination for the international tourist market which maintains its charm intact.

BEACHES
Before taking you to the beaches of the Costa Smeralda , we would like to remind you that it is forbidden to take away sand, shells, castanets, starfish, turtles, etc. from all Sardinian beaches. They are part of the heritage of Sardinia and of all of us. Let us all respectfully admire and benefit from this earthly paradise.

The Grande Pevero beach is certainly unmistakable thanks to its crescent shape, with fine white sand and sheltered by two cliffs covered by the fascinating color contrasts of the low bushes that perfume the air with the unmistakable Mediterranean essences and centuries-old junipers, the maquis Mediterranean is interrupted only to make room for the rocks overlooking the sea.

The sand of the Grande Pevero beach is thin, almost impalpable, has a white color and thanks to the very shallow seabed and the sea, with calm waters, the water appears transparent, perfectly suitable for families with children, and for all lovers of relaxing walks on the spacious shore just perfect for admiring the splendid crystalline waters , which range from green, blue and turquoise according to the sunlight.

PICCOLO PEVERO BEACH
The Piccolo Pevero is a beach, as the name implies, of smaller dimensions, it is immersed in the green of the Mediterranean scrub, surrounded by fragrant bushes and centenary junipers that shelter it from the wind, it has in front of it the splendid Li Nibani islands, is the destination of many VIPs and paparazzi. The sand of the Piccolo Pevero is white and fine , its waters have wonderful shades of color from green to blue, to become almost colorless near the shore.

LISCIA RUJA BEACH
The long white beach of Liscia Ruja is the largest on the Costa Smeralda and has earned it the nickname of “long beach”. It is a long expanse of fine amber sand, at times almost reddish framed by juniper bushes, rock roses, strawberry trees and myrtle that give off an intense scent throughout the year.

This particular color, also common to Cala Ruja beach , is due to the presence of granite particles and shells. Its waters are clear with colors ranging from emerald green to turquoise, with a shallow and sandy bottom and various stretches of free beach is also excellent for families.

CALA PETRA RUJA
Passing Liscia Ruja, through a path on the left you arrive at Cala Petra Ruja, a fascinating beach with amber-reddish sand enriched by pebbles and rocks, its waters range from deep blue, to very light blue to emerald green.

It has an original arch shape with two promontories at its ends enriched by thick scrub. The seabed is shallow and therefore suitable for bathing by children. In 2013 she was awarded the 4 sails by the Goletta Verde of Legambiente.

For lovers of sport tourism and golf in particular, it is also worth mentioning the immediate proximity of one of the best golf courses in the world: the Pevero Golf Club, the course consists of 18 holes and has a par 72, extends for about 6100 mt. it is considered by experts to be extremely difficult and exclusive, it is considered one of the most beautiful courses in the world, thanks to the splendid glance it offers, especially from the holes that overlook the sea.

CULTURE & TRADITION
During the day near the Relais Villa Carola it is possible to take a step back in time up to 2700 BC: The Temple of Malchittu is a sacred building located on a hill in the Arzachena plain near the Riu Bucchilalgu which dominates the surrounding valleys. The excavations date back to 1964.

Malchittu develops for 14 meters in length and 6 meters in width, it is composed of an atrium open to the outside that leads to a larger chamber of 8 meters by 4. It was also the scene of ritual ceremonies, although it is not known which divinity were facing.

A precious example of Sardinian prehistoric culture , the necropolis of Li Muri, was discovered in 1939 , can be dated around the second half of the 4th century BC , and belongs to the Neolithic period. Inside, artifacts of such originality have been found that they have led scholars to coin the definition of “culture of the circles of Arzachena” or “Culture of Gallura”.

From the analysis of the architecture of the Necropolis and from the observation of the funerary objects found, considerable affinities were found with other necropolises present in Corsica, the Balkans, the Pyrenean area and some Aegean islands, which included the complex of Li Muri among the most important examples of European megalithism.

The archaeological site of La Prisgiona dates back to the Nuragic age , has a triangular shape and is located in the Capichera valley. Positioned on a granite relief , it consists of a nuraghe and a village of about 100 huts.

Extending over an area of ​​five hectares, due to its extension it represents one of the most important sites in the entire area. The nuraghe is characterized by a keep, the central tower and two side towers which together form a bastion. Characteristic of the courtyard is a well, 7 meters deep and still functioning, inside which various ceramic finds have been found.

The Coddu ‘ecchiu tomb is a collective burial of the Nuragic age immersed in the green of the Mediterranean scrub. Its peculiarity is given by the central monolith which, with its 4 meters, is the tallest granite stele found in Sardinia to date.

The tomb was built in two distinct periods: the burial chamber which would be pertinent to the Early Bronze Age (1800-1600 BC); the two-cell exedra, of a later period, presumably belonging to the Middle Bronze Age. Inside, several valuable artifacts have been found that can be admired by going to theSanna Museum of Sassari.

SHOPPING & NIGHT GLAMOUR
La Promenade is an open-air fashion shopping center , offering workshops of works of art and design , antiques and local crafts, concept stores , jewelery and designer clothing from the most glamorous fashion houses, all harmoniously set among the characteristic alleys and the various squares.

The Promenade is not to be missed even just for a simple walk, you can stop for a drink, a good artisan ice cream or for a longer break among gourmet restaurants but also in small taste shops.

Porto Cervo in the eveningoffers countless possibilities: a nice walk with an aperitif admiring splendid sailing or motor yachts at the Marina and Porto Vecchio, or shopping among the great international brands, and then choose for dinner one of the many restaurants from the most famous with starred Chefs, to ethnic, to the more informal or traditional ones.
