Porto Cervo is the 'queen' of holiday resorts within the Costa Smeralda, an area set by granite rocks and Mediterranean bush and offering panoramic views over some of the most enchanting beaches and coves.HOTEL Porto Cervo It stretches for about 55 kilometers. Luxury hotels and estates melt, almost unseen, with the surrounding thick bush while their perimeters are forced into the coastline frame not to alter the original shape. Porto Cervo, Liscia di Vacca, Capriccioli, Romazzino and Pevero Golf Club are the main locations with exclusive designer's shops, luxury hotels and entertainments. Porto Cervo boasts a fully equipped marina where the largest motor and sailing yachts are usually docked and where television starlets love to be pictured by paparazzi. In spite of its glamour, the atmosphere is of understated elegance. Everybody is at ease and friendly, wishing only to enjoy the beauties this area promises. Porto Cervo has been developed around its marina, the lively atmosphere is concentrated around its piazzetta with open air lounges where to sip cocktails and watch people passing by wearing the latest designers' outfits. Breathtaking coastal roads and tiny gravel lanes lead to some enchanting beaches like the one of Pevero, Baia del Principe, Liscia Ruia, Pitrizza, Capriccioli and Cala di Volpe just to name a few.HOTEL Porto Cervo Also remarkable are the small islets of Mortorio and Soffi, part of the Arcipelago de La Maddalena, two pink granite rocks rising above what looks like a huge natural swimming pool. Slightly inland, from the small village of Abbiadori a winding road climbs up to Monte Moro where to enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole area stretching from Golfo Aranci to Arcipelago de La Maddalena.
