Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

Boasting stunning views from its wonderful location perched a ten minute walk above the picturesque town of Portofino, this world-renowned hotel offers an enviable ambience of elegance and warm hospitality. Set in delightfully exotic gardens, the five star Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, was originally built as a monastery and, since its transformation in 1901, has played host to numerous stars of stage and screen.

Guest rooms are delightfully decorated featuring hand-painted trompe l'oeil and antique furnishings and there are fantastic views of the harbour from the pool area, the wonderful panoramic terrace and from the delightful La Terrazza restaurant.

A regular shuttle bus operates between Splendido and its four star sister hotel, Splendido Mare, which is set in the heart of Portofino. All-day dining is available at Splendido Grill, and guests are encouraged to use the facilities at either hotel.
