"Splendido is a seaside resort is a former 16th century monastery that’s perfectly placed in the hillsides above the Gulf of Portofino—in fact, it's known for its sweeping vistas of the water. First opening as a hotel in 1901, the property has hosted old Hollywood stars including Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Ava Gardener, and Elizabeth Taylor. Travelers, too, will be treated like movie stars at the resort, with a gala-style dinner in the hotel’s al fresco restaurant, La Terrazza, which overlooks the Gulf of Tigullio."
