THIS HISTORIC PROPERTY DATES BACK TO THE 16TH CENTURY WHEN THE RULING DOGI OF GENOA SELECTED THIS IDYLLIC SPOT NESTLED BETWEEN MOUNT PORTOFINO AND PARADISE GULF AS THEIR RETREAT, WHICH WAS FREQUENTED BY NOBILITY, CARDINALS AND PRIESTS. SINCE THEN, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN ALONG GENERATIONS OF HEIRS AND WAS FINALLY PURCHASED BY THE DE FERRARI FAMILY WHICH TRANSFORMED IT INTO A HOTEL IN 1956. THE MOST PROMINENT REMINDER OF THE HOTELS HISTORY IS ITS 1565 CHAPEL WHICH STILL STANDS. FROM ITS ENVIABLE POSITION NESTLED BETWEEN THE NATURAL PARK OF MOUNT PORTOFINO AND THE DRAMATIC COASTLINE OF PARADISE GULF, VIEWS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR AND CAN BE ENJOYED FROM THE HOTELS PRIVATE BEACH, TERRACE BAR AND RESTAURANT. TENNIS COURTS AND AN OUTDOOR SEAWATER SWIMMING POOL WITH SOLARIUM COMPLETE THE PICTURE FOR OPEN AIR RELAXATION. THE HOTELS 106 ROOMS ARE TASTEFULLY APPOINTED WITH PERIOD FURNISHINGS AS WELL AS CONVENIENCES SUCH AS AIR CONDITIONING, SATELLITE TV AND MINI BARS. COSY AND COMFORTABLE COMMON ROOMS OFFER IDEAL SPOTS TO CURL UP WITH A BOOK OR SIMPLY SIT AND PONDER THE BEAUTY OF THE SEA AND CAMOGLIS ENCHANTING SUNSETS. AS MUCH AS ONE MAY BE TEMPTED TO JUST RELAX AND SAVOUR THE TRANQUILLITY AND TIMELESSNESS OF THIS LOVELY RETREAT, FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO VENTURE OFF TO OTHER DESTINATIONS, CAMOGLI IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED NEAR THE MOTORWAY AND THE TRAIN STATION MAKING TRAVEL TO AREAS SUCH AS CINQUE TERRE, FLORENCE, MILAN, MONTE CARLO AND THE FRENCH RIVIERA A SIMPLE MATTER. THE NEIGHBORING TOWNS SUCH AS PORTOFINO, SANTA MARGHERITA LIGURE, RAPALLO AND GENOA ITSELF ALSO PROVIDE VISITORS WITH A VAST ARRAY OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES AND CULTURAL EVENTS. THIS PROPERTY WAS BUILT IN 1954 RENOVATED IN 2005
