Tarthesh Hotel

History and inspiration of a luxury hotel in the heart of Sardinia

Tarthesh Hotel is not just a place to stay, but an experience to be lived with all the senses. Located in the inland of Southern Sardinia, between the hills of Medio Campidano and the wild beaches of Costa Verde, it is a charming retreat designed for those seeking silence, beauty, and authenticity. Every detail tells our vision of hospitality: elegant and relaxed environments, Mediterranean scents, discreet hospitality, and a deep connection with the nature and culture of the area. Here, time slows down and makes room for care, contemplation, and wonder.

4-Star Luxury Hotel in Sardinia

A magical retreat among nature, history, and silence

Tarthesh Hotel represents one of the finest expressions of 4-star luxury hospitality in Sardinia, thanks to a philosophy that combines comfort, beauty, and authenticity. It is not the ostentatious luxury of large chains, but the intimate and conscious kind for those who appreciate details: the timeless elegance of the furnishings, the rejuvenating silence of the Mediterranean garden, the quality of the cuisine that enhances local products with sensitivity and taste.

Every environment is designed to offer a complete sensory experience: spacious rooms and suites, with antique or canopy beds, fine fabrics, and whirlpool baths; a beach-effect pool set in basalt and surrounded by palms; a relaxation area spread out in the greenery; and spaces dedicated to tastings, massages, and holistic rituals.

The service is attentive, discreet, and tailored. The atmosphere is that of an elegant retreat, immersed in the nature and history of the Sardinian inland, just a few kilometres from the wild beaches of the Costa Verde. The recognition as Best Hotel in Sardinia by “Il Gotha del Gusto” testifies to the quality of a structure that knows how to blend culture, well-being, and hospitality into an exclusive formula, designed for those seeking more than just a holiday.

Tarthesh. Origin of the name

An ancient echo between myth and Mediterranean

The name “Tarthesh” is inspired by Tartesso, the legendary Western kingdom mentioned by Greek historians and in the Bible (Isaiah 23:6), described as an emporium of metals, spices, and wonders located beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
Some place it in Spain, while others propose a fascinating hypothesis: Tartessos might have existed in Sardinia, in the still wild and mysterious inland.
Tarthesh Hotel embraces and reinterprets this myth, transforming it into a real place, where hospitality has the scent of aromatic herbs, the sound of flowing water, and the deep taste of the Mediterranean.
A “magic box” of aromas, silences, and light, designed for those seeking an experience out of time.
