Residence Liscia di Vacca

Residence Liscia di Vacca sits in the coastal pocket of Liscia di Vacca, a quiet inlet on Sardinia's northeastern shore not far from the better-known stretches of the Costa Smeralda. Without a star rating, the property positions itself as a residence-style hotel — the kind of place built around stays measured in days rather than nights, where guests come to settle into a rhythm rather than pass through.

The surrounding landscape is the main event here: granite outcrops, scrubby maquis, and water that shifts between green and deep blue depending on the hour. Liscia di Vacca is not a resort hub, which is precisely the point. Guests who choose this corner of Sardinia are typically looking for something quieter than Porto Cervo, with direct access to the sea and little else competing for attention.

The outdoor pool gives those days structure when the beach feels too far, and free on-site parking matters considerably in this part of the island, where a car is not optional but essential for reaching coves and villages. Guests arriving after a long drive can check in from 15:30 and should plan their final morning around a 10:00 checkout — enough time for one last swim before the road.
