Porto Cervo
Porto Cervo is both unusual and elite all at once - and is unlike
any other Sardinian town you’ll come across! The reason for
all its peculiarity is that it was built in the 1950s as a seaside
resort for the well-heeled, with a mélange of architectural
influence from Greece, North Africa, Spain, and, of course,
Italy. The result was a playful, affluent resort that’s enhanced
by an abundantly beautiful coastline. Its location in the heart
of fashionable Costa Smeralda offers an amazing opportunity
to roam about and uncover high-end boutique shops, galleries,
and a sparkling yacht-lined marina, as well as the chance to
taste the delicious dishes that Sardinia is famous for, yet often
with a contemporary haute cuisine twist.
Forte Dei Marmi
When it comes to beach resorts on the Tuscan coast, Forte Dei Marmi
is one of the originals, and it’s the history that gives this sweeping
world of white sands and beach bars more magnitude. The town has
attracted many great residents, including the opera legend Andrea
Bocelli and the celebrated fashion designer Giorgio Armani. Ideal for
families, the beaches, such as Bagno Angelo or Sant Maria Beach,
are lined with neat rows of sun loungers and umbrellas, so you can
bring a picnic and set up for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and
watersports. More inland, you’ll find an array of seafood restaurants
and pizzerias to suit every taste, and plenty of bars that overlook
the glittering Mediterranean Sea. Time your holiday with the weekly
market for a fun way to discover Tuscany’s regional delights.
