Porto Cervo (Sardinia, Italy)

Porto Cervo on the island of Sardinia was built in the 1970s as a playground for the high society. Its port is one of the largest and best equipped in the Mediterranean and the seat of the famous Costa Smeralda Yacht Club. In the centre of Porto Cervo visitors can enjoy a stroll down the legendary promenade and might even bump into a filmstar, tv personality or a sports star out doing a spot of shopping. From the Piazzetta delle Chiacchiere to the Sottopiazza are lots of littles streets, windows and tiny balconies built in the typical Costa Smeralda style, with lots of stores selling renowned labels. These streets lead on to the Piazzetta overlooking the old harbour. The city is surrounded by grand villas that sit perfectly in the green Mediterranean landscape. The church "Stella Maris" which has a phenomenal view of all of Porto Cervo and the ocean is an absolute must-see.
