Italy. The Islands.
Sardinia and Capri.
Sardinia, about 125 miles from the Italian mainland, is where to aim for if you like your coastal resorts to come with a touch of glamour! Our three featured hotels lie on the fashionable Costa Smeralda, a rugged 35-mile stretch of countryside originally developed by the Aga Khan. During the season, when the main ‘towns’ of Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo play host to some of the world’s most luxurious yachts, it is one of the most sought-after corners of the Mediterranean. The exclusive 18-hole Pevero Golf Club and the Cervo Tennis Club are all within easy driving distance of our featured properties, ensuring that everything one needs for a high-class holiday is right on hand.
Capri, only reachable by ferry or hydrofoil from Naples, Sorrento and Amalfi or during the summer months Positano, rates as one of the most desirable resorts in the Bay of Naples. Ever popular with British visitors, it revels in its reputation as the playground of the rich and famous, firmly endorsed by the presence of first-class restaurants and shops, not to mention a world-class hotel, the Quisisana.
