Отель «Cenobio dei Dogi»

Along the coast that leads to Portofino, in the quaint fishing village of Camogli, stands one of the most charming hotels in Liguria. Its story began in 1565 when a family of the aristocratic Dogi, which governed a great part of Italy, decided to build a villa at the foot of Mount Portofino as their retreat. Many of the frequent visitors were cardinals and priests, which inspired the Dogi to build a beautiful little chapel at the Villa. Many years later, after the Villa had passed from heir to heir, the noble family of Emilio De Ferrari bought it. He and his wife Adelia transformed the estate first into a park and then, in 1956, it became a hotel, which it remains today: The Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi. Nestled between Portofino Mount, which is now a Natural Park, and the dramatic coastline of Paradise Gulf, the views from the Hotel Cenobio are nothing short of spectacular and can be enjoyed from the hotel's private beach, terrace bar and restaurant. Tennis courts and an outdoor seawater swimming pool with solarium complete the picture for open-air relaxation. The hotel's 106 rooms are tastefully appointed with period furnishings and amenities such as air conditioning, satellite TV and mini-bars. Cozy and comfortable common rooms offer ideal spots to curl up with a book or simply sit and ponder the beauty of the sea. As much as one may be tempted to just relax and savor the tranquility and timelessness of this lovely retreat, for those who wish to venture off to other destinations. The hotel is extremely convenient as a base for excursions to the Cinque Terre thanks to its proximity to the train station.
