Hotel
In the wild and unspoilt setting of south-western Sardinia stands La Ghinghetta, a charming relais that takes its name from the nearby rock, home to a picturesque lighthouse that can even be reached by swimming. Once a fisherman's cottage, now a refined seaside residence, the property retains its connection with tradition, offering simple, bright and deeply Mediterranean hospitality. The rooms, flooded with natural light and overlooking a beach of rare beauty, offer sea views that seem to merge with the horizon. The cantilevered balconies become places suspended in time, where you can rediscover the pleasure of slowness: a book, a glass of wine, and only the sound of the waves as a soundtrack.
Guests over the age of 12 are welcome.
Rooms
The 9 rooms at La Ghinghetta have been designed to celebrate the sea, the true star of your stay. From your bed, you can admire the horizon, while designer mirrors reflect its colours and the scents and sounds of the waves envelop the rooms, creating the sensation of being suspended between sky and water.
Each room offers unique views: some choose the view of the village with its ancient tuna fisheries and picturesque marina, while others prefer to be captivated by the tranquillity of the sea, which changes colour every hour of the day. The result is an ever-changing panorama that never fails to surprise and enchant.
The rooms are divided into Deluxe and Superior:
Deluxe Sea View with Balcony – 22 m²
Deluxe Sea View – 30 m²
Superior Sea View with Balcony – 16 m²
Superior Side Sea View – 17 m²
Discreet luxury, where human design meets the authentic beauty of nature: all that remains is to let yourself be captivated.
Beach
Overlooking the intimate Cala della Ghinghetta, also known as La Caletta, the beach in front of the relais is a little gem nestled in the heart of Portoscuso, along the south-western coast of Sardinia.
Located a short walk from the town centre, the beach can be reached via a staircase that connects the village streets directly to the shore.
The shallow, sandy seabed makes access to the sea gentle and gradual, ideal for those who enjoy long walks in the water or simply want to be lulled by the waves in total serenity.
It is not a private beach or a lido, but it is precisely this simplicity that gives it its authentic charm: a true Mediterranean experience.
Restaurant
The Relais La Ghinghetta bistro invites its guests to enjoy a culinary experience that combines elegance and authenticity in a refined setting with attention to detail and a splendid view of the sea.
The cuisine is inspired by Mediterranean tradition with a modern twist, with a menu that highlights the authentic flavours of the region and the best seasonal ingredients from Sardinia. Each ingredient, strictly fresh and local, is carefully selected and transformed into harmonious and creative dishes, designed to satisfy refined tastes.
The menu is accompanied by a refined wine list, which includes selected regional and national labels, ideal for completing the food and wine experience with a sensory journey through the vineyards of the island and the rest of Italy.
Thanks to attentive and discreet service, every moment at the table becomes an occasion to remember: from breakfast overlooking the sea to a light lunch after a swim, to an intimate dinner at sunset, caressed by the salty breeze.
