Cheval Blanc Is Coming to Sardinia: Pitrizza on the Costa Smeralda

Cheval Blanc is heading to the Costa Smeralda. The LVMH collection is opening a Maison at Pitrizza, on the emerald-watered coast of Sardinia, its first ever on a Mediterranean island, and a natural fit for a house that has always followed the world's most glamorous coastlines.

The Costa Smeralda is one of the Mediterranean's most storied stretches of coast, all pink granite, macchia scrub, and impossibly clear water. Cheval Blanc Pitrizza brings the collection's discreet, residential style to it with 65 rooms and suites, including 16 independent villas with private pools, and a signature saltwater swimming pool carved directly into the rocks at the sea's edge.

Cheval Blanc's first Mediterranean island Maison, on the most glamorous coast in Italy.

For a collection whose homes each speak unmistakably of their place, from a palace in Paris to a private island in the Maldives, Sardinia is an inspired addition: a summer Maison for the yachting set, with a spa, a restaurant, and the barefoot Cheval Blanc art de vivre transplanted to the Italian sun.
