Quianto Capital Limited has appointed Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® to manage Rosewood Porto Cervo, which will open on Sardinia, Italy in 2022. Joining sister properties in Tuscany and Venice, it is Rosewood’s third opening in Italy and its first Italian island resort.

“Rosewood Porto Cervo will showcase our visionary, innovative ambition for creating one-of-a-kind resorts through Rosewood’s uniquely sophisticated lens,” says Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer, Rosewood Hotel Group. “We look forward to showcasing our brand’s A Sense of Place® philosophy as we create a luxurious haven in Sardinia.”

The three-storey resort will be located 1.5 kilometres south of the town of Porto Cervo in Costa Smeralda, a stretch of white sand beaches and turquoise waters long favoured by jet-setters. It will have 65 rooms, including 26 suites, all complemented by 180-degree views of the Mediterranean Sea.

In keeping with Rosewood’s reputation for exceptional culinary experiences, the resort will have four dining venues. In addition, a bistro and lounge bar will serve dishes and handcrafted cocktails inspired by the flavours and colours of local produce, while the property’s pool bar and beach club will host live music.

Planned as a sanctuary for renewal and rejuvenation, Rosewood Porto Cervo will offer guests a signature spa, gardens to stroll in, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre. They will also be able to use its private pier to easily access the town of Porto Cervo by boar and to explore the area’s lively social scene and natural beauty.
