À l'origine de la série Netflix Hotel Portofino. L'hôtel Portofino n'est ouvert que depuis quelques semaines, que déjà les ennuis s'accumulent pour Bella Ainsworth, sa propriétaire. Les hôtes qu'elle reçoit sont des habitués de la haute société anglaise, et sont donc exigeants et difficiles à satisfaire. Et Bella est la cible d'un politicien local corrompu, alors que l'Italie s'enfonce de plus en plus dans l'ère de Benito Mussolini. Pire encore, son mariage est en difficulté, et ses enfants peinent à se remettre des dégâts de la Grande Guerre.

It is the summer of 1927 and Hotel Portofino is prospering under Bella’s stewardship. As the season begins, Bella is keenly looking forward to her son Lucian’s imminent arrival and the chance to discuss with him her plans to convert the hotel’s basement into a spa. But then Bella’s husband Cecil turns up unannounced. Over the course of several hot weeks in the middle of the Italian summer, Bella is forced to confront the reality of her relationship with Cecil and to decide to what extent she is prepared to go against social convention to get what she wants.

Hotel Portofino 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, who threatens to drag her into the red-hot cauldron of Mussolini’s Italy.

È l'estate del 1926 e la famiglia Ainsworth si è da poco trasferita dall'Inghilterra sulla suggestiva costa ligure per gestire un hotel di lusso per turisti stranieri. L'Hotel Portofino ha aperto soltanto da qualche settimana in una magnifica villa d'epoca, eppure i problemi che Bella Ainsworth deve affrontare non sono pochi: le spese da sostenere sono ingenti, il personale non è ancora al completo e gli ospiti, per lo più ricchi stranieri, hanno pretese spesso stravaganti.
