Expert reviews
“Atop a cliff at the end of a rocky track on Sardinia’s southernmost tip, a working lighthouse dating from 1856 contains this unusual hotel—a self-described “door suspended between the sky and the sea”—where it’s easy to switch off and tune out amid luxurious surroundings. It’s small and select, but still has space for lounges and a library, all blending vintage furnishings with elegant modern pieces.”

If you’re in search of an opulent and distinctive experience on Sardinia island, Faro Capo Spartivento is the perfect destination. This 19th-century lighthouse has been masterfully transformed into a unique, sophisticated hotel, providing guests with a high-end stay on the island’s southern shore.
Situated in the Chia region of the southern coast, the hotel’s location is prime for exploring the breathtaking beaches of Sardinia. Among these are the nearby Spiaggia S’Acqua Durci and Su Giudeu Beach, renowned for their pristine white sands and crystal clear waters.
The interior of the hotel exudes a rustic allure, with luxurious rooms and suites featuring arched ceilings and intricate decor. Each room offers picturesque ocean views and is invitingly spacious, adorned with touchable fabrics and modern ensuite bathrooms.
Faro Capo Spartivento serves as the perfect sanctuary for pairs wishing to discover the scenic southern shores of the island, renowned for its idyllic coastline. The former location of the lighthouse on a craggy cliff allows visitors to relish sweeping vistas from multiple spots on the premises.
The outdoor area boasts a gym and a terrace, offering guests the pleasure of unwinding or exercising amidst mesmerizing oceanic views.

Beautiful, but it’s more like a museum than a place to stay.
An interesting and unusual place, staying inside an old lighthouse is a really cool experience. But in my opinion, there’s nothing much to do there for more than one day.
Getting to civilization is quite difficult; the road to the lighthouse is just bare sand and stones. This year, we were unlucky with the wind Maestrale, it lasted for two weeks. And with that kind of wind, there’s absolutely nothing to do on the cape. You can’t even swim in the pool, everything gets blown away. The food is tasteless and extremely expensive — €100 per person. And you won’t have any alternative for the dinner, because, as I mentioned, there’s no road and no lights at night.

Staff was lovely and location is special but it’s over priced.
Location is special and staff is wonderful.
Way overpriced for what you get. 860 per night in the middle of September should mean a spacious comfortable bathroom with a bath tub.
