This was a pure emotional shooting for Sardinia Tourism. We want to show the world how beautiful and affordable a luxury Italian style vacation can be. Either for honeymoon, destination weddings or just pleasure. Any trip to Italy reminds us of how the Italians value and celebrate all aspects of life. From taking time to eat and drink well, to spending time with family, to appreciating beautiful architecture and design, as well as living in a lovely warm climate. Whichever beautiful Italian town, city, or village you end up visiting, ask any local, and they will tell you why it’s the best one. Italians are fiercely proud of the place they’re from, and will tell you all about its traditions and food. So we asked local suppliers to come together and capture this feeling of what makes the Costa Smeralda so special especially for a destination wedding. We are starting the day on the boat. Reading the newspaper, of course with the obligatory cigarette. With an elegant Champagne breakfast and Versace table wear.
In the afternoon La Dolce Vita!
What does La Dolce Vita mean? – Sweet Life-
A quick picknick on the boat, a jump into the crystal turquoise sea. After that we are going back to the Villa. Yes Villa as at the Costa Smeralda are no houses they are all Villas with beautiful names like Villa Oleander, Villa Rosa or Villa Rosmarino. Borgo Smeraldo is a beautiful new venue. It’s placed on a mountain near Porto Cervo and overviewing the Costa Smeralda coast. Build like a village of beautiful small Villas around a central plaza. A small cathedral is in the making and will be opened soon. So this is the perfect location for a wedding. Each family can have their own house with pool and you have exclusive the whole village for your own. The best part here- from the party to the bed its only a few meters walk. But who wanna sleep if you can rest at your private pool.
Villas, Hotel and LUXURY SPA for a Destination Wedding Costa Smeralda
At the heart of the Costa Smeralda, just behind Cala di Volpe and between Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo, lies Borgo Smeraldo. Seven exclusive villas, each with unique furnishings and tonalities, and each with a private heated pool, surrounded by exquisite boutique hotel with 34 rooms and junior suites. The central La Pergola gourmet restaurant and a lounge bar overlook the large swimming pool reserved for guests, with breathtaking views of the Costa Smeralda.
THE VILLAS
The seven villas, surrounded by Mediterranean gardens, each boast a large private heated swimming pool. Seven luxurious suites overlooking Liscia Ruja beach, the island of Tavolara and the village of San Pantaleo offer ample, comfortable spaces for an exclusive holiday in contact with nature, the colours and beautiful aromas of Sardinia.
THE HOTEL
Borgo Smeraldo is set to take on a leading role in the luxury hospitality sector in Costa Smeralda. Its 34 rooms including Suites, Junior Suites, and Superior rooms are gathered around the “piazzetta”, or little square of the village. They all offer maximum comfort and spectacular sea and coastal views.
