Renovated after 20 years of neglect, this structure is situated virtually on the beach: on the famed beaches in Chia, to the south-west of Cagliari, which alone would suffice to portray the wild nature of the island.

Aquadulci was created by Andreina Berretta who had long planned to renovate this previously unfinished building on the road to Capo Spartivento, between Cala Cipolla and the beach of Su Giudeu.

Right there, where sand dunes and the Mediterranean shrubbery, marshes and crystalline water coexist in absolute harmony: the image of the perfect beach. A perfect location for the 41- room hotel with its extensive hall and bar, reading area and outdoor restaurant with pool view.

Inside, the misplaced pastel colours of the Emerald Coast have been removed, making way for Sardinian artisan crafts skilfully reinvented with a contemporary approach. Of course, one can also find the typical linen chests and original Sardinian tapestries.

But also candles and cubes of coloured ceramics and sofas featuring highly innovative designs. Outside, the stunning beach and its dunes are alone worth the trip.
