“Costa Smeralda is where I have some of my best summer memories. It’s such a special place, filled with magical spots: Ritual, with its incredible Le Terrazze restaurant carved into the granite, and Phi Beach, where you can watch the most beautiful sunset and then dance all night right by the water.”
Ida Corti, creative director of Lisa Cort
“Capalbio, a small village in Tuscany. For restaurants there, I recommend Ultima Spiaggia. It’s unbeatable. On the beach, great food, and a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Also, A Marsi: a modern trattoria in a beautiful ancient village of only a handful of houses perched on a hill amidst centuries-old cypress trees.”

“Sardinia, Italy. The best thing about Sardinia is the sea—it’s incredible, truly unbeatable.”

“Il Pellicano. This year, after 20 years of spending our holidays in East Hampton—and time spent at Il Pellicano during the pandemic, when we couldn’t leave Italy—I returned there for a holiday with my family. The location, service, grounds, seaside setting, and Pelligrill restaurant define la bella vita for me. This summer, I also discovered Scavolo Borgo, a tiny gem of a hotel and B&B nestled in the hills of Rimini. I immediately fell in love with the views, the architecture, and the family chapel when I first visited. I would love to spend more time there.”
