Sardinia - hotels on the Emerald Coast, 4 stars

Hotel Club Li Graniti, Baja Sardinia

Hotel Club Li Graniti is a beautiful, medium-sized hotel perched over the gorgeous Baja Sardinia, a picturesque inlet on Sardinia's stunning Costa Smeralda. Here, pale, powdery sands reach down to the turquoise-blue sea. The international jetset have been coming to this corner of Sardinia for decades to watch exclusive regattas and bask in the Sardinian sun.

With 54 elegantly decorated and furnished rooms, each one with its own balcony opening either on to the charming hotel gardens or a fabulous sea view, this is a truly luxurious place to stay. All rooms have their own private en-suite bathroom, plus colour TV, direct-dial phone, hairdryer and minibar. A babysitting service operates for guests with young children and cots or cribs are available to hire on request.

The hotel has a delightful restaurant serving a wide range of local and international specialities. Vegetarian dishes are also on offer here and a more informal cafe serves lighter meals. Guests can get together before dinner in the stylish piano bar with its extensive list of cocktails and 'aperitivi'.

For relaxation, there is a gorgeous kidney-shaped pool, plus a wellness centre with fitness rooms and relaxing treatments on offer. Friendly, helpful staff can book excursions on your behalf as well as organise bicycle and scooter rental, and there is a shuttle service to various locations on the lovely Costa Smeralda.

There is free car parking and Visa and MasterCard are welcome.
