Hotel Portofino

Set in the breathtakingly beautiful Italian Riviera during the 'Roaring Twenties,' Hotel Portofino follows the story of Bella Ainsworth, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist who moves to Italy to open a quintessentially British hotel in the town of Portofino. As she navigates the challenges of running a high-end establishment, she must contend with her aristocratic but emotionally distant husband, Cecil, and the growing political tensions of Mussolini’s rising fascist regime. The series explores the lives of the hotel's eclectic guests and staff, weaving together themes of love, betrayal, and social upheaval. As the post-WWI era gives way to the looming shadow of fascism, Bella finds herself caught between the demands of her guests, the secrets of her family, and the dangerous political climate that threatens to destroy the peaceful sanctuary she has worked so hard to build.
