Pacifica Hotels to Manage Hotel Villa Portofino
AVALON, CA, November 15, 2005. Thomas Cappannelli, owner of the Hotel Villa Portofino, has selected Pacifica Hotel Company (PHC) to manage the landmark 34-room hotel located across from the beach. The alliance will enable the hotel to continue operating with its small customer-oriented team, while enjoying the benefits of belonging to a larger company.
The Hotel Villa Portofino's recently redecorated suites and rooms have stunning views of the harbor, picturesque hills and Catalina's famed Casino. Guests can relax in marble bathtubs, watch the boats from balconies or the sundeck and, at mealtime, enjoy what is widely regarded as Avalon's finest food in the acclaimed Ristorante Villa Portofino. The hotel, which offers a variety of spa, golfing and luxury packages, is just minutes from all of Avalon's many attractions.
