The village of Rocca Sant'' Elmo was constructed in the early 1990s amidst an unspoiled natural landscape at the southern tip of
Costa Rei. Vito Sonzogni's ingenious and award-winning architecture successfully harmonizes the buildings with their surroundings and no traffic or street interferes with the experience of communing with nature. A sea of flowers surges up between two granite rock formations. The villas themselves are right on the beach at Sant'' Elmo and a parking lot, grocery store and pizzeria are conveniently located right behind the houses. Sant'Elmo consists of three interconnected groups of houses, with Rocca Sant'Elmo the self-enclosed central complex. At the southern end of the island lies the five-star Hotel S. Elmo beach, which is fenced in and barely visible as it is situated at the edge of the hills.
