This riveting six-part historical novel follows a British family that opens an upper-class hotel in Italy during the 1920s. Set on the breathtakingly beautiful Italian Riviera, HOTEL PORTOFINO is a story of personal awakening at a time of global upheaval and of the liberating influence of Italy’s enchanting culture, climate and cuisine.
The hotel has been open for only a few weeks but already the problems are mounting for its owner, Bella Ainsworth. Her high-class guests are demanding and hard to please, and she’s being targeted by a scheming and corrupt local politician.
To make matters worse, her marriage is in trouble and her children are still struggling to recover from the repercussions of the Great War. All eyes are on the arrival of a potential love match for her son Lucian, but events don’t go to plan.
