  • Forte Village Sardegna
    L L L Forte Village Sardegna by Giorgia Mauri Forte Village Sardegna L L L WHERE THE EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENS EVERY DAY Forte Village is the multi-award-winning destination on Sardinia’s southern coast that has worked tirelessly ever since it was established in 1970 with the sole aim of offering its guests an unrivalled service. To achieve this goal, the resort has been redeveloped and restructured several times over the years. Yet none of those initiatives have been as ambitious as the project launched in 2014 that will come to an end for 2016. Lorenzo Giannuzzi, at the helm since 1994, describes it like this, “We want to prepare Forte Village for the challenge of the next decade: to be trailblazers in the hospitality of the future.” So the resort is preparing to enter a new era, while jealously guarding and building on the foundations of its success year after year. “Think of the Made in Italy brand: what springs immediately to mind? The most refined tailoring, the most celebrated variety of food and wine in the world, the most powerful, sophisticated and exclusive cars, a genuine and traditional welcome. And the Forte Village experience, too, with our take on hospitality, wellbeing, leisure, sport, fashion and food – nourishment for body and soul.” Lorenzo Giannuzzi, CEO and Managing Director, Forte Village Resort L L L A DESTINATION WITHIN A DESTINATION Forte Village is a destination of unparalleled allure nestling in a truly wonderful natural setting. It is a masterpiece of myriad shades of blue, with the unmistakable waters of southern Sardinia, nuanced greens, in its luxuriant 47 hectare garden, and – to complete the marvellous Mediterranean backdrop – the pristine white of the beach right on its doorstep.
