La Guardia

La Guardia hotel, on the enchanting Tuscan isle of Giglio, is a stand-out amid waters with the clarity and colour of tourmaline to topaz, mighty prows of granite rock, and ascendant clusters of Mediterranean greenery, simply by fitting in so seamlessly. Parts of the hotel are carved into a granite cave above the Tyrrhenian, and a design team that hails from Greece, Italy and Uruguay – using covetable and custom furnishings from the likes of Ethimo, concrete flooring and local handicrafts – have understood that there’s no competing with the view. So, they’ve used a subtle palette and unique minimalist look to overtly state ‘Look, out there!’. And, when you’re not attending to aperitivi on the terrace or awakening your kundalini energy, you will be out, basking on warm sands or biking to fertile vineyards.

La Guardia hotel sits on Giglio, the second largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago. This beautifully renovated villa sits by natural Lo Scalettino beach and the historic harbour – the gateway to picturesque mountainous wilds.
