 An
exclusive panorama, surrounded by nature
of exceptional beauty, architectural and
decorative lines of elegant simplicity,
refined and comfortable interiors.
All this can be found at the hotel in
the heart of the regional park of
Portofino, just 25 kilometers from Genoa,
capital of the splendid region of
Liguria.
A golden autograph book, brimming with
signatures and enthusiastic entries
bears testimony to the presence of the
illustrious guests who enjoyed the
hotel’s refined hospitality from the
time of its inauguration in the spring

entourage, as well as other important
nobility from Genoa, Piedmont and

state, Italian and foreign ministers

visitors soon grew to include important

Maritime and Appenine mountain ranges
which embrace Liguria.
This grandiose panorama marked by the
harmonious fusion of land and sea
immediately struck the founder of the
Portofino Kulm, Sebastiano Gaggini, a
Genoese trader who was one of the most
active agents operating on the Paris
exchange.
This enterprising businessman who spent
a good deal of time in the French
capital, was impressed by the refined
