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.

Wonderful hotel with incredible beach access, sun loungers on tiers jutting out over the water, sea views from the rooms, unbelievably delicious food at 2 dining areas overlooking the water, and a wonderful staff. My only thought is that the interior of the hotel itself could use a coat of paint—perhaps something lighter— and a little design refresh. But, truly, it’s really nothing when balanced against all of the positives that make this gem shine. Don’t hesitate—stay here!

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.

Lovely hotel. Stunning vistas. Warm and friendly staff. Outstanding food for dinners and breakfasts. I stayed at this hotel in 1987 for my honeymoon and again in 1998 for our 10 yr anniversary. Coming back now - 25 years later - I had some trepidation — but it wasn’t warranted. It was actually better than I remembered. Can’t say enough about the facility and staff. It was fabulous and worth every penny!!
