Hotel description

Il Castello — completely refurbished in 2026 — is an oasis of luxury, exclusivity and refined service, situated just steps from one of the most stunning beaches in Sardinia. Spacious balconies and magnificent terraces offer spectacular views over the sea, gardens and the mountains surrounding Forte Village Resort. The furnishings pay homage to colourful Sardinian craftsmanship while embracing ultra-contemporary design. Guests of Il Castello enjoy exclusive use of a heated infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean and direct access to the beach. The 4th and 5th Executive floors house suites served by a private lift with dedicated high-level personal service. The hotel's sumptuous foyer opens onto the Bandiere Bar, renowned for its signature cocktails.

Adjacent to the main building, nestled within a fragrant garden, lies the separate Castello Garden Bungalows wing — newly refurbished accommodations perfectly designed for families. Some bungalows are spread across two levels and can be interconnected for larger family groups. Bungalow guests benefit from a dedicated concierge and take breakfast and dinner at the Bellavista restaurant.
