Parco Dei Principi












  • Anyone student of Italian architect Gio Ponti will rate his Parco Dei Principi hotel design as one of his most successful.  The fact that you can stay there and interact within his design is equally fantastic.  So when I got booked for a commercial in Sorrento Italy, I was to make it my mission to go and explore the Parco.  To my amazement, it was were production put us up.  The ability to lounge on his furniture, feel his walls, walk on his tiles and see the totality of his design excited me. And although the rooms are a bit more pedestrian these days, they have restored pieces on view in the various lounges to see and touch.
