History
Hotel Cala di Volpe was built in 1963 on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda, designed by the French architect Jacques Couelle in his organic, sculptural style to resemble an ancient fishing village. It was one of the founding luxury properties of the Costa Smeralda development launched by the Aga Khan-led consortium (the Consorzio Costa Smeralda, formed in 1962).
The hotel is famed for its appearance in the 1977 James Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. Over the decades its management passed through the CIGA (Compagnia Italiana Grandi Alberghi) group and into Starwood's Luxury Collection, and it is today operated within Marriott's Luxury Collection. It has roughly 120-125 rooms and suites, including the celebrated Presidential and Aga Khan suites.
