“There is a multitude of fine sandy beaches and no one to walk on them. Green and grey mountains tumble into the sea, a carpet of purple and yellow, red and blue flowers perfume the air.” Attributed to the hotel’s founder The Aga Khan IV in 1964, these words have captured the charismatic soul of the Costa Smeralda for decades – and today, they salute them. At Romazzino, they give villeggiatura a new meaning. They sail along Porto Cervo's picturesque emerald sea and time-sculpted cliffs. They lead the way to languorous afternoons, nestled in the shadows of nearby olive and pine trees. They stay in style in Sardinia.
