La Pitrizza

You anchor off here to experience one of Sardinia's most quietly glamorous corners of the Costa Smeralda, designed by architect Luigi Vietti in 1963 as a low-key luxury retreat tucked into the rocky hillside. The setting is serene and unspoiled, with turquoise water and pine-covered slopes that feel a world away from the crowds. Porto Cervo is just a short drive inland if you want to explore, but honestly the view from the water is reason enough to drop the hook.
