Hotel Portofino Returns with a Dramatic New Season
The highly anticipated Season 3 of Hotel Portofino kicks off this month! Set in the breathtakingly beautiful resort town of Portofino, the series follows an elite yet dysfunctional British family who opens a hotel for upper-class travelers during the Roaring ’20s. In the sun-soaked Italian drama, desperation leads to dangerous actions when Bella and Cecil wrestle with the despair of a Wall Street crash, and Cecil stuns Bella with divorce papers. Catch the season premiere on Sunday, July 28, at 8pm on KQED 9. KQED members can binge the whole season on the day of the premiere with KQED Passport.
