Dec 7, 2022
Genoa, Italy Dec 7, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - When nature appears to fall asleep, in reality, it enters a period of rest called dormancy. Rhythms are slower and travel becomes an intimate experience, away from the busier tourist trails, alternating shared moments, and delicious cuisine with wellness and new discoveries. This is the ideal time to take a break in Portofino staying at the Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel. The new delicious menu, a rich calendar of events, and a selection of unforgettable experiences make up the hotel's proposal for experiencing the unexpected side of winter on the seashore.
