Built in 1880, this romantic 24-room villa-hotel tucked amid five acres of spectacular tropical gardens on a private headland in northwest Sardinia was once a residence of the royal family of Italy. Lodgings and public areas present a pleasing mix of Old World sophistication and contemporary décor. Two of the three Executive Suites have spacious private terraces with small Jacuzzis and beautiful sea views, plus wrought-iron chandeliers and high ceilings. Dinner is served in an atmospheric candlelit dining room or on a pretty patio. Amenities include an unheated outdoor pool and a superb gym and spa with an indoor seawater pool and a Turkish bath. Guided wine-tasting tours and boat excursions are available.

The spectacular setting; the romantic atmosphere; the excellent small spa.
The excessively casual service; the lackluster cooking in the hotel restaurant.
Quintilio Ristobar, a casual but excellent beachside restaurant much loved by the locals, is just a short walk down the street.
Lowest Rate: Double Park-View Room, $280; Editor’s Choice: Executive Suite, $620 (minimum stay may apply).
