If Gossip Girl had been set in Italy, in summer, certainly among the eligible choices of location there would have been Porto Rotondo. The warm sun, the crystalline sea, the trendy clubs, the worldly life that arouses envy, important people running around the streets. I already hear a certain cheerful voice from a certain show: “I'm Porto Rotondo, your only summer destination with the scandalous lives of Italy's elite”.
Porto Rotondo: the delirium of the five senses
It is rare that a place borders on perfection: it is easy to find some small detail that makes us turn up our noses, that does not leave us a good memory. Yet, Porto Rotondo will amaze you enormously. All five under they feel inebriated: from the sight of a sea transparent ai scents pungent and natural. Ancient rocks will be heartening to the touch and tasty restaurants they will delight you. Last but not least, it is roar of the sea in the circular inlet will satisfy you. You will feel satisfied by what you will have around you and you will also want to stimulate the sixth sense, that of self-awareness and experience.
Porto Rotondo: the Hamptons de us others
With the arrival of summer, New Yorkers take refuge in the Hamptons. The jet set Italian, on the other hand, calls at Porto Rotondo. On the island freckle, even if the famous personalities are sorted between Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo, they found stars such as Sofia Loren, Virna Lisi, Ugo Tognazzi, Lory Del Santo, Cristina Parodi and certainly many others. The village has welcomed them in the mighty and luxurious summer villas, in all these years, and still in these years they do not stop going there. Obviously, it also attracts major international tourists. The rattle of Louis Vitton's bags, the nice noise of the tennis ball on the racket and the flash of the cameras are the musical background of summer in Porto Rotondo.
What to see in Porto Rotondo
Like any self-respecting destination, Porto Rotondo contains a variety of things within itself placei to visit. About fifteen kilometers from Olbia, the village offers you a wide and captivating choice of beaches where to sunbathe. One example is heavenly Ira beach or again, Punta Lepre beach. The first is named after actress Ira Furstenberg. If, on the other hand, you prefer the sea to the fine white sand, you can venture into the blue with diving in Punta Volpe, perfect for these adventures. In the village, on the other hand, there is a mystical beauty Church of San Lorenzo, created by Andrea Cascella and Mario Cerioli. The cobbled streets lead to Piazza San Marco, commonly known as the square. The Coastal Tower towers over the hill, protecting the circular and uncontaminated life of Porto Rotondo.
The elite and beyond
Of course, as I have just described it does not seem to be the most calm and peaceful destination, with all its boutiques and its apparently chaotic meeting places. Yet Porto Rotondo maintains its naturalness. From Punta Nuraghe a Punta Volpe, has been able to keep the charm that its creators have discovered. Luigi and Nicolò Donà delle Rose, together with the English banker George Frank, in 1964, gave life to the village as a tourist destination, leaving it uncontaminated and intact at the same time. They were able, in fact, to respect its beauty. And now, it is appropriate to say it: basubasu, Gossip Girl.
