Just a 15-minute drive from the small resort town of Chia, this evocative hideaway is set in a converted ocher-colored stone lighthouse dating from 1854. Six comfortable suites feature wide oak-plank floors, Murano-glass chandeliers, quarry stone-lined baths and white linen curtains. Request a Sea View Suite for impressive coastline views. In a separate structure, the five-room Residenza Semaforisti, featuring a rooftop pool and a private wine cellar, occupies what was once the lighthouse keeper’s lodge. Amenities include an inviting library, secluded small lounges and panoramic terraces, a fine restaurant serving Sardinian specialties and a 45-foot infinity pool with two Jacuzzis. Complimentary shuttle service to two nearby white-sand beaches is available. This property is primarily a peaceful place in which to do nothing much except read and gaze at the sea.

The strong sense of place; the spectacular views; the unexpectedly delicious food.
The 4 p.m. check-in time; the too-formal service.
There is no elevator. When booking, request direct access by car, rather than a transfer to the property from a parking lot a half-mile away.
Lowest Rate: Classic Suite, $550; Editor’s Choice: Sea View Suite, $680 (minimum stay may apply).
