The majority of properties are in Olbia's walkable Old Town (centro storico), with additional villas in Golfo Aranci overlooking the sea. Both areas are on the north-east coast of Sardinia, a short drive from the beaches and nightlife of Costa Smeralda, and served by Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport with year-round international flights.

Unlike many hospitality operators who rely on bank loans, the entire portfolio was acquired and developed with internal equity from Lion Development S.r.l. (the asset-owning holding company). This zero-debt model meant operations continued uninterrupted during COVID and other market shocks. It also means no lender can force a sale or operational change, giving guests long-term booking confidence.
