Your apartment in Porto Cervo: between jet set and tradition

Porto Cervo is a part of the municipality of Arzachena in the northeast of Sardinia. It all began with the thought of Karim Aga Khan IV. In 1962, the billionaire decided to build a centre for the rich and beautiful on the famous Costa Smeralda. The government of Sardinia supported the plans from the beginning, hoping for a revival of the then poor economic situation. Today, apartments in Porto Cervo are among the most exclusive holiday residences in Italy. Thanks to the circumspection of Karim Aga Khan IV, the new noble resort has been able to blend gently into the traditional surroundings of the Costa Smeralda and retain its Mediterranean charm. Porto Cervo’s landmark to this day is the 46-metre-high Capo Ferro, on the top of which the famous lighthouse is located. Numerous private apartments in Porto Cervo offer you a view of the lighthouse, which probably also moved Karim Aga Khan to create a new holiday paradise exactly at this point. An important port of call for holidaymakers is the newly built harbour. Here you will also find the most exclusive restaurants and bars, which are supplied daily with fresh fish. You should not do without this pleasure under any circumstances. Somewhat cheaper than directly at the marina – the marina – you can stay in other holiday apartments in Arzachena. At the central square, the so-called Piazzetta, you will find numerous trattorias where you can enjoy excellent regional delicacies. Also worth seeing is the Stella Maris. Hardly any other sight represents the original architectural style of Sardinia better than the whitewashed church with its gently curved forms and the bright red tiled roof.
