Tucked away in the natural folds of Liscia di Vacca Bay, in the very heart of the Costa Smeralda, Hotel Pitrizza has embodied the pinnacle of luxury hospitality in Sardinia for over sixty years. This is a place where architecture blends seamlessly with nature, where the quiet beauty of the coastline meets the understated elegance of service, and where every detail tells a story of authenticity, sophistication, and deep-rooted connection to the land.
A Legendary Design by Luigi Vietti
Designed in 1963 by the renowned architect Luigi Vietti—one of the founding fathers of the Costa Smeralda’s signature style—Hotel Pitrizza is much more than a resort: it’s a tribute to Sardinia’s most intimate and authentic soul. Vietti’s visionary concept was to create a dialogue between design and landscape. Using local granite, precious wood, and natural materials, he crafted structures that merge with their surroundings in perfect harmony. Every stone, every pergola, every pathway feels like it belongs there, as if untouched by time.
Here, form becomes experience. The hotel’s rooms, suites, and 16 independent villas offer absolute privacy, contemporary comforts, and interiors inspired by Sardinian tradition. Decorated with local textiles, ceramics, and handcrafted furnishings, each space exudes a refined simplicity. Many suites and villas boast private pools overlooking the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean, nestled within fragrant gardens of myrtle and juniper.
A Culinary Journey Between Sea and Nature: The Grill
At the heart of the resort’s social life is The Grill, the acclaimed signature restaurant that continues to attract discerning international travelers season after season. Open also to non-resident guests, The Grill is a destination in itself—celebrating the essence of Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, with a special focus on local, seasonal ingredients.
Set just steps away from the resort’s private beach, The Grill opens onto a breathtaking natural stage: the Bay of Porto Cervo, wind-sculpted granite rocks, and lush Mediterranean greenery. In this enchanting setting, every meal becomes a sensory journey.
The 2025 menu is a tribute to authentic flavor. Standout dishes include handmade fresh pasta, delicately prepared seafood, and the catch of the day, grilled over open flame to enhance its natural freshness. Here, grilling is not just a cooking method—it’s a philosophy: simple, respectful, essential.
An extensive wine cellar offers a curated selection of Sardinian, Italian, and international labels, while the attentive yet discreet service reflects the signature hospitality of the Pitrizza.
Exclusive Services for an Unforgettable Stay
Guests who choose Hotel Pitrizza are not just looking for a place to stay—they are seeking a refined refuge where every moment becomes a memory. The resort features a spectacular saltwater swimming pool carved into natural granite, now a symbol of the hotel. From this unique viewpoint, the water appears to merge with the sea, offering a mesmerizing play of reflections and transparency.
For those who enjoy staying active, the hotel offers tennis and padel courts, as well as a fully equipped fitness center. After a workout or a sun-soaked day, guests can unwind on the private beach, a secluded stretch of sand with sunbeds and umbrellas placed with careful discretion.
Families traveling with children will find the Pitrizza Kids’ Club a true highlight: creative workshops, outdoor games, and supervised activities are offered daily by a qualified team in a safe, engaging environment. Parents can relax knowing their children are in excellent hands, having fun and making new friends.
A Destination for All Seasons
While the Costa Smeralda is best known for its summer allure, Hotel Pitrizza reveals its most poetic side in spring and early autumn, when the light softens, the air is gentle, and the landscape takes center stage. These are the ideal months for travelers in search of peace, beauty, and inspiration.
The hotel offers a wide range of tailor-made experiences: boat trips among the La Maddalena archipelago, food and wine tastings in the island’s hilltop villages, scenic hikes along coastal trails, horseback rides, and more. Every activity is designed to unveil the authentic soul of Sardinia—its people, its traditions, and its unspoiled nature.
Timeless Hospitality
The true essence of Hotel Pitrizza lies not only in its breathtaking setting or exclusive amenities—it’s the atmosphere that sets it apart. The highly trained, dedicated staff welcomes each guest with genuine warmth and professionalism, creating a bond that brings many to return year after year. Clients are drawn not only by the unique location, but also by the sense of discreet intimacy that only a few places in the world can offer.
Pitrizza is a timeless destination, one that gracefully combines tradition and innovation, luxury and restraint, nature and design. It’s where you go to reconnect with yourself, to celebrate a special moment, or simply to savor the beauty of life—framed by one of the most stunning landscapes the Mediterranean has to offer.
