The project by Parisotto+Formenton Architetti has been conceived to highlight the most peculiar features of the existing building: a 1970s brutalist architecture with exposed concrete structures and an interesting external cladding in local pinkish stone. The former building has been fully restored and the new extension marks a contrast with its contemporary architecture characterized by wide glazing and wooden sunscreens. The whole concept aims to enhance the park around the resort, with some existing big trees that have been preserved and new greenery that create a green oasis closed to the sea, where the architecture is in a well-balanced relationship with nature. All rooms feature external terraces with a view to let guests enjoy the mild climate of the region all year round.

The surrounding park, the true added value of the resort, was mostly preserved and integrated during the construction phase with the planting of new green and flowering plants, favoring those most suited to the mild local climate. The protagonist is the large camphor, around which one of the wooden terraces dedicated to relaxation and conviviality was built, connected by passages and stairways to the other terraces at different levels that are arranged around the hotel building. Pedestrian paths through the greenery lead to the discovery of the various corners of the park, the car park and the events area: an independent and essential volume located in the garden and completed by a dedicated terrace.
The interiors have a contemporary yet timeless cut: the atmosphere is embracing and welcoming, celebrating the slow living lifestyle of the riviera. On the GF the open space of the lobby and bar is in direct contact with the outside, offering a privileged view of the park through fully glazing and the small volume that projects above the swimming pool. The architecture is characterized by the horizontal surfaces of the floor - resin with a carpet in local cementine tiles - and the ceiling with Douglas wooden slats and concrete lamellas guiding guests towards the garden, marked vertically by the original pillars in beton brut, The restaurant accentuate the strong Mediterranean personality: large windows give great visibility and a sense of connection and integration with the green terraces where guests can eat en plain air. The rooms and suites stand out for their essential luxury made of neutral-warm colors with accents of wood (douglas) and - different on the various floors - the textile decoration and carpets by cc-tapis with exclusive designs for Il Capitolo. Each room has a balcony or terrace to experience outdoor relaxation overlooking the garden and, for some rooms, a sea view. The rooms located in the new volume have large glass surfaces with wooden sunshades which discreetly let the gentle Ligurian landscape enter inside. The renovation works created large spaces on basement dedicated to well-being: spa, a swimming pool extending outdoor, and a gym.
From the first preliminary visit to the site, studying its peculiarities, we imagined to create a "park with hotel", overturning the usual relationship between greenery and construction in a search for balance where the lush Ligurian vegetation - already present and further integrated - would welcome and embrace the architecture integrating it into a new ecosystem.
