After seeing if the autumn weekends would be better for visitors with Season 2, Hotel Portofino is returning to where it belongs for Season 3, the height of summer. The Eagle Eye Drama original (one of the few they produce that isn't an English-language remake of a popular

Period drama Hotel Portofino may have initially been billed as a sort of Italian version of Downton Abbey, but two seasons in, the series has settled into its own groove. A softer sort of show that often feels like a gentle escape, its beautiful setting and small-scale dramas make for

I’ve watched enough TV to know not to believe a character is dead until we see the body (and maybe not even then). So I’m using that knowledge to comfort myself that Nish and Gianluca aren’t really dead in Hotel Portofino. Yes, Danioni, who caught the pair

Well, well, well, it seems like Cecil might finally (finally!) get his comeuppance in this week’s Hotel Portofino. Our not-so-favorite snake in the grass has gotten himself into quite a predicament.

The luscious Hotel Portofino is both charming and heartfelt and has an opulent setting, a robust and talented cast, and quiet but compelling stories. As Eagle Eye Drama’s first original English-language drama, it had a lot resting on its gentle shoulders and managed to garner a respectable audience. Centered

The second season of PBS’s Hotel Portofino kicks off with some stunning news: It seems the marriage of Lucian and Rose is not going well. I know, I know. Who would have thought that an arranged marriage between two people who have absolutely nothing in common wouldn’t work

It's been a minute since PBS checked into Hotel Portofino, the British drama set on the Italian coast during the 1920s. Themed as a series about the personal awakenings of its main characters, especially Bella Ainsworth (Natascha McElhone), an upper-class woman of a certain age, who leaves the
