Hotel Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru

Costa Smeralda


Hotel Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru is rural romance in a nutshell, with granite-and-wood dwellings sprinkled across grounds planted with centuries-old olive trees. For extra luxury, there's a private villa complete with four-poster bed and its own pool – at a price, naturally. Nestled in glorious seclusion, the stazzo (farmhouse) sits 3km south of Arzachena (follow the signs on the SP427).
