Costa Smeralda is a stretch of land along the northeast coast of Sardinia, Italy. It’s known for its turquoise water and fine-sand beaches, including Grande Pevero and Capriccioli. The main town of Porto Cervo is home to upscale hotels and shops. Set on a hill above the resort town, the 1960s, whitewashed Stella Maris Church houses a painting by El Greco. Inland, the Tomba di Giganti Moru is an ancient burial site.
