On the Italian Riviera, facing the Mediterranean, the legendary Splendido Mare, acquired by the Belmond Group (LVMH), has been entirely redesigned by the Parisian decorating duo Festen, already behind the Hôtel Les Roches Rouges in Saint-Raphaël. In Portofino, the fourteen rooms and suites on the harbor front were designed with reference to the history of this fishing village. Among the materials used were local marble, rope and, above all, terracotta, handmade by Ligurian craftsmen. The floor of the hotel’s restaurant, the DaV Mare, managed by the Da Vittorio group, boasts the latter. Splendido Mare Via Roma, 2 16034 Portofino, Genoa, Italie
