A Dior concept store showcasing women’s summer creations designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, including the Dioriviera capsule, as well as pieces from the men’s wardrobe by Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Dior men’s collections, will open in Paraggi.
Ready-to-wear, bags, shoes and seasonal accessories, such as sunglasses, will be presented in light-filled surroundings, with walls covered in textured monochrome toile de Jouy wallpaper and interior accents of wood, cane, sisal and brass – that celebrate Dior design fundamentals. Seating specially-designed by a local craftsman, celebrates Italy’s heritage and precious savoir-faire by evoking the design of the iconic traditional chiavarina chair created in 1807.
LA DOLCE VITA
A restored 16th-century former monastery, Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino, is the epitome of Italian glamour having attracted stars of stage and screen over the years, including the La Dolce Vita set. The glamorous pink façade welcomes guests to pure pleasures within; a heated saltwater infinity swimming pool with sensational views of the coastline, irresistible dishes of the freshest local seafood and traditional Ligurian cooking, and spacious pastel-hued guest rooms furnished in mid-century style.
In the heart of Portofino harbour, sister property Splendido Mare invites guests to the bustling piazzetta for relaxed sophistication. Sip an al-fresco Aperitivo and dine at DaV Mare, a restaurant by the Cerea family, before taking the complimentary shuttle back to the fabled grande dame on the hillside.
