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.

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.

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.

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!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel is dull throughout the building. Dark colours interior. The building looks lovely from the outside. But old and uncool on the inside. The was a strong ‘sewage’ smell in my room and I had a headache everyday. I didn’t complaint as the Italian service is usually very poor towards foreigners . I stayed quite and enjoyed the view - that’s all worth it … but having said that many others hotels have a great sea view too. It is overpriced for what it offers. There is not even a bar or room services in the offer; no fresh squeezed orange juice at breakfast, the breakfast room has not sea view it is small and hasn’t got a relaxing atmosphere and what I really did not appreciate the most was when I was going to dinner at night and it was 300 metres from the hotel (1 minute driving) the hotel member offered a kind of personal taxi services to drive me at the extra cost of 50 euros … 1 minute driving to the Portofino splendid mare restaurant… I felt robed really ! I paid for it and he asked for another 50 euros to collect me back .. of course I have taken the bus and paid 5 euros for the journey … I felt extraordinary extorted! Never more.
