History of Porto Rafael

In the 1960s, the Spanish count and artist Rafael Neville Rubio turned his dream of a picturesque seaside haven into reality: Porto Rafael! As a scion of a Spanish noble family and brimming with a spirit of adventure, Rafael traversed the globe before embarking on a quest for his own kingdom. He found his dream bay in Sardinia and established Porto Rafael in 1960. With his charisma, he attracted affluent friends who were drawn to his lifestyle and erected villas in the area. Rafael designed the Piazzetta and had it realized by architects such as Alberto Ponis. Today, Porto Rafael stands as an exclusive retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Costa Smeralda, echoing Rafael's vision of a tranquil paradise by the Mediterranean.
