The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
A working nineteenth-century lighthouse on a clifftop in southern Sardinia, restored into an 11-room luxury hotel: infinity pool over the sea, candle-lit dinner gazebos in the garden, reached by a dirt road.
A working nineteenth-century lighthouse on a clifftop above Chia. The adjacent Residenza Semaforisti (the former lighthouse-keepers' residence) still shows the marks of low-altitude American wartime strafing. Rooms across the original keeper's quarters and the semaforisti residence, all looking onto the Tyrrhenian. A cliffside infinity pool. The kitchen has no fixed menu; the chef discusses your preferences and cooks accordingly. About an hour south of Cagliari, on a private dirt road no public vehicle can use; the hotel runs a shuttle from a lower parking lot. You can't drive in, which is deliberate.
