Famous for its crystal clear waters and unspoiled beaches, Costa Smeralda, otherwise known as the Emerald Coast, is a 55 kilometer-long stretch of coastline on the Northeast corner of Sardinia.
Sardinia's rich layered culture is a result of the many different people that have ruled the island, including the Romans, the Saracens of North Africa, Spain, Austria and presently, Italy. Hotel Pitrizza offers activities that allow guests to be immersed in the local traditions, cuisine and handicrafts of the area. Activities include local artisan demonstrations, a visit to the Cerasarda pottery factory and day trips to places like the archaeological site of Li Muri and the Gallura region's charming small villages.
Thanks to the efforts of Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, Sardinia's international tourist industry began to develop in the 1960's. World class restaurants, dynamic nightlife, celebrated architecture, designer boutiques and the famed sailing regatta, the Sardinia Cup make up the numerous modern amenities that co-exist amid the coasts natural beauty.
