Marie-Louise Sciò is CEO of her family’s legendary Pellicano Group which includes Hotel Il Pellicano, La Posta Vecchio, and Mezzatore Hotel. She’s not well known outside the world of luxury travel but that’s probably about to change. She has just curated an exclusive edit of holiday looks for Matchesfashion alongside her fashion editor friend Robert Rabensteiner. She’s also just collaborated on the chic line of sandals Birkenstock x Il Dolce Far Niente inspired by the heritage of the iconic Il Pellicano. Now you’ll have the perfect thing to wear to one of her hotels.

“From a hotelier’s point of view, the thing that is most precious to people is their time. And so how you fill that time is really important. Style and elegance and that otherworldliness – even if only for five minutes – are enriching. I don’t work in fashion, but I like fashion. It can take you to different places.”
