Two purpose-built or rebuilt towns catering to an upscale clientele in the luxurious Northeast corner of Sardinia. Part of the Costa Smeralda supposedly frequented by celebrities - originally developed by the Aga Khan. The Marinas filled with nice boats. Porto Cervo had a more enclosed feel with shops and residences in a relatively unitary structural plan. Shops were the names one expects to find in such places - the sort which I would not dream of entering. Porto Rotondo had a more open feel and was distinguished for me by a lovely use of black and white stone and metal to make fish illustrations in the road. None of this was the real Sardinia
