Il giardino incantato di Splendido
angenvoort designed a bespoke secret garden for Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino.
For a luxury hotel in historic property, we designed the secret garden for children 4 to 12 years old.
The design has been custom made, to match the brand guidelines, integrate artistic local aspects as well as match operative aspects.
Creating unforgettable hospitality is about more than beautiful architecture – it’s about creating stories that guests take home with them.
“Splendido’s Secret Garden” was conceived for Splendido, a Belmond Hotel, Portofino – the legendary former Benedictine convent nestled in the hills above the breathtaking Bay of Portofino. A place where history, nature, and timeless elegance create the perfect setting for magical family experiences.
The concept, created originally in 2021, transforms one part of hotel’s enchanting gardens for the 2026 season into a natural space of discovery, where children become explorers and every family creates memories together. From arrival to departure, the guest journey unfolds like a beautifully crafted theatre production, with storytelling woven into every interaction.
