In 1968, an Italian tourist, Pietro Saviotti, when discovering Madeira, the Portuguese Archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, west of continental Portugal, took great interest in the views of Machico Bay, sprouting a desire to open a hotel business in the area. This desire was eventually fulfilled by his son, Stefano Saviotti, who opened the 4-star Dom Pedro Madeira (formerly Dom Pedro Baía) in 1973, and assuming control of the group in the same year and making their first investments in Algarve tourism, with the opening of Dom Pedro Vilamoura (formerly Dom Pedro Golf) in 1976.[7]
In 1998, the group opened doors to their first five-star hotel, Dom Pedro Lisboa (formerly Dom Pedro Palace) which has become known the regular hosting of international celebrities.
