Privately owned – Baglioni Hotels
In the ‘70s, Roberto Polito, founder and president of the company, was sent to the Tuscan coast to develop a large resort for a Swiss operator. It was love at first sight when he discovered that still relatively unknown part of the Tyrrhenian coastline. In 1974, in Punta Ala, the initial step was taken with the opening of Hotel Cala del Porto, the first Baglioni Hotel. It became a family project, and together with his wife Lisa, and later with their children as well, he built up a collection of boutique hotels that is widely recognized as the epitome of Italian hospitality.
