Costa Smeralda hotels, Sardinia

Hotel Le Ginestre, Porto Cervo

Sardinia's Costa Smeralda is perhaps one of the most stunning stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, an area of outstanding beauty with clean, quiet beaches and picturesque villages. The four-star L'Hotel Le Ginestre is set in a tranquil park overlooking the Gulf of Pevero in Porto Cervo, just minutes from the marina and city centre. Designed in a typically Italian style, this hotel is in perfect harmony with the rugged and beautiful countryside and there is a wide range of spacious accommodation including suites, double suites, superior double rooms and standard rooms. Each comes equipped with air conditioning, direct-dial phone, shower, minibar and television. Breakfast can be brought to your room or you can enjoy it in the restaurant where a selection of local and international cuisine is offered all day.

However, even though this hotel provides great food - there's even an American bar by the fresh-water swimming pool for small meals and snacks - what perhaps makes it feel so luxurious is its total attention to your relaxation and leisure time. There is a private beach with water sports, a tennis court, beauty centre and fitness rooms. If you want to venture further afield, the 24-hour concierge desk can provide maps, arrange car/bike hire and even book hiking trips and sightseeing tours. Sardinia is a brilliant holiday destination both for those who just want to relax on a beach or by a pool and for those who may want a little more action and adventure - L'Hotel Le Ginestre is the perfect choice, however you spend your days in the sun.
