Assouline-Costa Smeralda book
In perfect harmony with nature, the Costa Smeralda rose from the uninhabited, unspoiled area on the northeastern tip of Sardinia. Prince Aga Khan and other interested staff discovered the area's limitless potential and set to work to develop and transform the Costa Smeralda into an exclusive luxury retreat. VIP guests such as Marisa Berenson, Roberto and Eva Cavalli, and Naomi Campbell have since been lured by the scents of juniper mixed with the salty spray of the ever-present Mediterranean. The natural wealth of the region blends seamlessly with an original architectural style that makes the Costa Smeralda a truly unique destination.
Founded on March 14, 1962 at the behest of Prince Karim Aga Khan, the Consorzio Costa Smeralda was established with m the planning and balance of urban and residential development within the territorial boundaries of the Costa Smeralda. Located in the heart of the village of Porto Cervo, the Consorzio has been promoting the tourist destination for sixty years, while monitoring the environmental protection of the territory. Smeralda Holding, the largest member of Consorzio Costa Smeralda, owns the relative majority and ownership of the main hotels (Hotel Cervo, Hotel Pitrizza, Hotel Romazzino, Hotel Cala di Volpe), land, restaurants and shops on the Costa Smeralda.
