Ever since His Highness Karim Aga Khan put the jewel-like stretch of coastline along the north-eastern tip of Sardinia on the world holiday map, the international jet set and leading figures from fashion, cinema and major companies have chosen the Sporting Hotel as their vacation home on the Costa Smeralda. The elegantly furnished rooms have a private terrace with view over the garden or the harbour. On all sides, the gardens blossom in a riot of bougainvillea and hibiscus. The private-house ambience of an elegant seaside villa is recreated with wickerwork sofas, dark wooden beams, an abundance of flowers, and a seawater swimming pool. Watching over this exclusive refugium is the discreet, attentive staff that the high standard of hospitality here requires. The Sporting's famed restaurant attracts an exclusive clientele who enjoy refined international cuisine, as well as the typical Sardinian specialities.
