Hotel Pitrizza is tucked into the rocky landscape of Liscia di Vacca on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, close enough to Porto Cervo for dining and nightlife but sufficiently screened by gardens and granite to feel private. Low buildings, stone, terracotta and vegetation blend into the hillside, while sea views open toward the remarkably clear water of the bay. Rooms, suites and more private accommodations are spread through the grounds, giving the hotel a low-density feel.

Hotel Pitrizza is a secluded Costa Smeralda classic built into granite and Mediterranean gardens, with turquoise-bay views, a private beach and an intimate resort atmosphere near Porto Cervo.
