History

In 1909, during the "Belle Epoque", Antonio Oggero, who had had various experiences in hotels around Europe, decided to establish his business in Bordighera. He started with management of the "Beau Rivage" and went on to the Hotel Centrale, Hotel Quisisana and finally wound up at Villa Elisa, a splendid residence of the time, which he transformed into a hotel and renowned restaurant. His son Giovanni further developed Villa Elisa, modernising the structure, and handed down the company to his son. The current owners, Maurizio and Rita, have carried on the family business, upon which they have lavished their professional experience and great passion.
