Faro Capo Spartivento: Stay in a Lighthouse
At Sardinia's southern tip, near Chia, stands a still-active lighthouse from 1866 – converted into an unusual boutique hotel with just a handful of suites.
A real, working lighthouse
Unlike many "lighthouse hotels" elsewhere, the Faro di Capo Spartivento remains an active navigational light. The former keepers' houses around the tower have been converted into individually designed suites, combining exposed old stone walls with a pared-back, modern interior.
Location
The cape sits at the island's southern tip, near the beaches of Chia. From here the view stretches out over the open sea toward Tunisia – one of the most remote corners of the Sardinian coast.
Who it suits
Ideal for anyone seeking an extraordinary, quiet experience away from the busy Costa Smeralda, who appreciates the combination of history and remoteness.
