Rooms are air conditioned and feature modern minimalist decor. They offer satellite and pay-per-view channels. Some also have a balcony or sea views.

Fantastic hotel that’s well situated right in the heart if Portofino. All exclusive shops and the port of Portofino are just in walking distance. The hotel offered an extensive breakfast and it was possible to have dinner on the hotel’s terrace overlooking the sea. Our personal highlight was the private beach and the sea view from our room which was instagramable.

    The location was great right by the port. The air conditioning was really appreciated in the 33 degeee weather. A cleverly designed space which fit in a tiny kitchen. It was quite like a caravan except that it had a good sized bathroom.

    We left La Dolce yesterday and I cannot say enough about it. The location of this gorgeous apartment may well be the best available. The view is stunning as is the apartment and its facilities. It is one of the few that has a terrace to sit on overlooking the harbour and is just amazing!! If you are considering staying in Portofino I would book this immediately!

    Absolutely stunning and so secluded. What a gorgeous part of the world. The whole experience felt special and I can't wait to go back. The rooms are so lovely and bathrooms surprisingly modern considering the building is some 800 years old. The staff are also so lovely and friendly
