About Cheval Blanc Pitrizza
- The transformation adds a redesigned spa and a new fine-dining restaurant in the Cheval Blanc style.
History
Hotel Pitrizza was designed in 1963 by Luigi Vietti, one of the founding architects of the Costa Smeralda developed by the Aga Khan IV, using local granite, terracotta, dark woods and thatched roofing set into the hillside of Liscia di Vacca Bay. The property joined LVMH Hotel Management in 2024, kept trading under its own name during a multi-year transformation, and is scheduled to relaunch as Cheval Blanc Pitrizza in May 2027. Refreshed room categories open from June 2026, and the renovation adds a redesigned spa and a new fine-dining restaurant.
The setting
Set amid granite rocks, myrtle, and Mediterranean gardens overlooking Liscia di Vacca Bay, approximately 10 minutes by car from the glamorous resort town of Porto Cervo on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda — the exclusive coastal enclave developed by the Aga Khan in the early 1960s.
