Nostra Storia
O:live Hotel Collection is created, built, and styled from the ground up by their owners Loisse Herger and Fernando Dávila. O:live is the result of a continuing romance with exploring the world and creating magical spaces where guests are transported to far-away places. Loisse and Fernando, one native and proud Puerto Ricans, were married in Sorrento, Italy before falling in love with the idea of becoming hoteliers. Fernando’s experience in property development and design, along with Loisse’s extensive branding and marketing experience, has created a unique and world-class hospitality team that started in the heart of Puerto Rico and has now expanded to the magnificent city of Florence, Italy.
The Begging of the Journey
They fell in love with the Amalfi Coast and got married in Sorrento. They wanted to re-create that same feeling and transport guests to the Mediterranean life. Their first creation was designed on a Caribbean canvas.
Through the design, ambiance, amenities, and artifacts from their world travels, they brought O:live to life in 2012. O:live won the title of best new boutique hotel and world’s best design boutique hotel by the prestigious boutique hotel awards in London and belongs to the small luxury hotels of the world. “We personally designed, built and decorated O:live with genuine love” said the couple of their first creation.
