Property details

Step back in time at an elegant boutique hotel in the heart of the Sinis Peninsula, 10 minutes from beautiful beaches, featuring a lush Mediterranean garden and charming period interiors - includes breakfast and a welcome drink
  • Historic island beauty: Originally an ancient farmhouse, Hotel Lucrezia has been lovingly restored to preserve the soulful essence of traditional Sardinian life. Once the home of the generous Lucrezia herself, the building serves as a sober testimony to the local nobility's functional elegance, with many original features still intact. Nestled in the heart of the ancient Sinis Peninsula, you're about 10 minutes from over 10 beautiful beaches, from white powdery sands and beaches of fine quartz stones to sheltered surf coves.

  • A botanical sanctuary: The heart of your hotel is undoubtedly its Mediterranean garden, a leafy backyard oasis designed to transport you into a world of tranquillity. Beneath the shade of century-old trees and flowering jasmine, you can discover a traditional wine cellar, an old well, and even an original grain wheel. It is the perfect setting to enjoy a crisp glass of local vernaccia wine while soaking up the scent of fig and olive trees.


  • Traditional local flavours: Mornings at the hotel begin with a generous continental breakfast served in the courtyard, featuring homemade breads, local cheeses, and traditional Italian cakes. Upon request, you can also look forward to an authentic dinner prepared by the resident chef, showcasing the rich gastronomic heritage of the region. Savour fresh seafood specialities and regional delicacies under the stars, accompanied by a curated selection of fine Sardinian wines.

The hotel is located in the village of Riola Sardo in western Sardinia. The nearest commercial airport is Cagliari Elmas Airport, which is approximately an hour and 20 minutes away by car.
