1950
Wanda Gorlero and Giuseppe Zago began their career as hoteliers by purchasing the “Albergo Moroso.”
The Bellevue et Mediterranée Hotel was founded in 1950, born from a love story between Wanda Gorlero and Giuseppe Zago.
Our grandmother Wanda helped her family harvest olives and work in the fields, but her strong entrepreneurial talent was already innate. Our grandfather Giuseppe came from a family of hoteliers in Alessandria; sadly, he passed away prematurely, leaving our grandmother to manage the business on her own — though not for long.
She was soon joined by her son Roberto, who supported her in running the family business, and together they introduced important expansions and continuous improvements.
Wanda Gorlero Zago was one of the first female entrepreneurs in Liguria’s tourism sector. In 1974 she received the national award “Lady of Hospitality,” and in 2000 she was bestowed the title of “Commendatore” by the President of the Republic.
Our loyal guests, and all those who knew her, remember Wanda with great affection — her smile, her warmth, and her determined character.
Grandma left behind a beautiful memory and a legacy that we, her grandchildren, intend to carry forward with the same enthusiasm.

These were the years of the economic boom, and with one expansion after another, the property continued to grow.

The hotel is transformed and changes its name to “Hotel Bellevue.”
An important renovation project is carried out on the hotel.
These were the years of the economic boom, and with one expansion after another, the property continued to grow.
Next to the main five‑storey building, a new three‑storey wing was constructed, and the hotel officially took on the name “Hotel Bellevue et Mediterranée.”
The tradition continues with the new generation.
