The territory of Emerald Coast
The Emerald Coast is a coastal stretch of Gallura and stretches for about 20 km from Pitrizza to Portisco. While not formally on the Costa Smeralda, also Poltu Quatu, Baja Sardinia, Cannigione and Porto Rotondo are sometimes associated with it for the proximity and for a not very different type of tourist offer.
The heart of the Emerald Coast is Porto Cervo where you will also find all the services and numerous other commercial and residential areas such as Romazzino, Capriccioli, Cala di Volpe, Pevero Gulf, Pantogia and Liscia di Vacca. Between Porto Cervo and Cala di Volpe we have developed the Abbiadori shopping area.

The history of Emerald Coast
In 1962 a group of international financiers headed by Darim Aga Khan, was the Consorzio Costa Smeralda to give birth in the territory of Arzachena a tourism initiative of vast proportions. The affected area was the one the locals called “Monti di Mola” (from grinding stones). It can be said that since then for Arzachena and, to some extent, to Sardinia things were not the same anymore.
The phenomenon of tourism invested the land and transformed it, modeling it on the basis of their needs. In those days he saw the light of the seaside tourist attraction of greater importance, in terms of quality, of Italy. They began to arise the first luxury hotels and exclusive villas that will become the point of summer meeting of high society and world economic power. The tabloids got hold of the news and gossip on the “golden world” and promoted in all the world in great detail.
Archaeology of Emerald Coast
There are places where time seems to have stopped and the standing stones with ingenuity, skilfully to open a gap between the actual and the mystery hidden in history …. give off a transcendental force.
