Forty-five kilometers north of the jet-setters’ Costa Smeralda, La Coluccia appears as a world unto itself. A trademark of the sophisticated design are the curving lines that flow from the building to the rooms to the pool. The bold red of the wall, set off dramatically against the blue sky, is echoed in the nearby rock formations. The baths are integrated into the 45 rooms and suites. Granite cliffs mark off the private cove, reached by a path. All around are hidden lounge areas and terraces you can withdraw to.
