Great location but the overall hotel is pretty run down and needs an overhaul. We just liked how close it was to everything and the views were very nice. The pictures to promote the place don’t really show how run down it is. So we just give it a so-so review.
Lovely hotel just at beginning of Portofino with own beach club and beach access
Lovely and super helpful team.
Great place to also have dinner in evening or lunch at beach.
Nice clean rooms and facilities.
5 min walk to portofino harbour and restaurant
Did half day boattrip from there.
Will be back
Mille Gracie!👍🇮🇹😉
Excellent location and the bonus of the private beach. All the staff were very welcoming and friendly, each one went above and beyond the normal expected service, from reception to the restaurant staff, they all made our anniversary trip very special.
I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.
The staff and the location were the highlight of this hotel. Lovely and welcoming, we felt comfortable immediately. The view from our room was spectacular. And a short and beautiful walk brought us to the heart of Portofino. We loved everything about our stay and would gladly stay here again

View was amazing and the staff was great! Hotel itself is quite dated. But the location was stunning!
Good hotel in a great location with a private beach club that overlooks the public beach in Portofino. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also very good. The building and facilities were older, but that seems to come with Portofino. There was an issue with the room safe that the staff fixed, although the television in the room continued to freeze and did not appear to be fixable. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend the hotel on the understanding that the price reflects that fact that everything is more expensive than normal in Portofino.
This is a hidden gem in Portofino. The hotel offers a hidden pathway to the heart of Portofino, which can be reached in approximately five minutes on foot. You will understand how important it is once you become familiar with the area. The main road is narrow and hard to walk on, so the path comes in super handy.
The hotel also has access to the hidden beach, which you can barely see from the road. Absolutely breathtaking. Hotel staff are friendly and courteous. Although the breakfast hall is small, the food and the service are great. There is a 40 Euro parking fee per day, so count that into account if you are arriving by car.
Andrea and rhe front desk qere exceptionally helpful and friendly and professional; always happy to assiat with requwara ans great at securinf dinner bookings at ahort notice. Would recommend staying here as it has easy access to portofino centre and great sunbathing facilites with a very good reataurant.

We really want to be kind here as the staff was great. The view from the terrace was magical. But, an ever present sewer smell was always in the room. We didn’t complain but the oil/air freshener diffusers in the halls let us know it was a known thing. We had a 2 story double which included a very tight spiral staircase which was not easy to navigate. Upstairs double bed room area included a small 13” tv/monitor with no power cable and was not attached to the cable box. No remote was seen so we assumed it was some kind of weird storage. This room was $$$$ and outside of the portofino view was really not worth it. When visiting Portofino if you you cant swing the Splendido then probably best to stay in santa margharita ligure.
Amazing location just far enough from the tourist center but easy walk to it. Also with easy access to a private, scenic beach. Our second time staying there and would definitely return but wouldn’t recommend dining there.

Friendly, rather run down and noisy
Staff couldn’t have been more friendly. Wonderful private beech. Great location for walking to Portofino. Hotel is rather run down and tired; very noisy location.
Hotel is in a brilliant location . Fantastic views . We did hire a car , but not needed. Everything within walking distance and a regular bus & boat services to other parts of the area .Secure valet parking €40 per day . Hotel a little tired looking in parts but very clean . Hotel staff were fantastic , really took good care of us & made our trip very special . We would highly recommend .
The employees were very friendly !
Especially Signore Rossano e Signore Andrea.
Can not be better.
I had a room with view to the sea. The greatest view i ever had.
The hotel is located near the harbour of Portofino, you reache it in 8 minutes walking by feet.
The hotel is very outdated and they need to renovate this hotel. The price does not worth to stay at this hotel however the staff at the hotel is very friendly.
One of Portofino’s finest hotels. Our private, luxurious, high-ceiling, large room with a balcony overlooking the sea was a total treat. A fairy tale. A short stroll to the bay of Portofino where all the action is on the waterfront. The staff were so friendly and kind, they really took great care of us. We hope to return one summer to take advantage of the hotels own private beach.
