Jacques Couëlle & the Costa Smeralda

Architecture as Natural as the Landscape.

In 1963, the French sculptor-architect Jacques Couëlle was commissioned by the Aga Khan to design a hotel that would appear to grow from the Sardinian rock. The result was Cala di Volpe, a building whose rounded arches, terracotta and rough plaster have inspired every significant structure on the Costa Smeralda since. To stay here is to inhabit the original idea.

The light in the bay changes every hour. By six in the evening, the water turns a colour for which there is no Italian word — only the local expression: 'l'ora di Cala di Volpe'.
