    Great spot if you want to enjoy Portofino and have a relaxing time away from the city center

    The lights in the room weren’t very bright so in the evening it was very dark in the room. It didn't bother us too much as we only stayed one night.

    Great location, 10 minutes walking from the main square of Portofino, so the hotel was very quiet and comfortable. The furniture in the room is well kept with a very big and comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast with omelettes and other warm plates prepared fresh and freshly baked cakes. The room had a spacious wardrobe with a big safe. The hotel has a private beach access, three terraces with reclineable chairs overlooking the water. The hotel provides beach towels for free. The staff was super helpful and kind. We arrived by car, there is a private garage where the staff parks the cars for you (40€/night).

    Hotel could use some mild renovation, some paint in the room is already dirty and kinda disgusting. The bathrooms are tiny; maybe can use some updating as well. There is no lotion or conditioner, not a deal breaker but usually they’re expected toiletries. At least there’s complimentary bottled water x 2. The staff during breakfast, one didn’t seem so friendly. She would give us a side glance every time we stand and get some more food which was not so extensive, but at least it can still fill the stomach. She doesn’t smile, not very friendly at all. Same as a couple of men, not smiling at all. One time I thought there were a little inattentive, they were chatting at the bar while we were waiting to place an order for the hot/cooked food. An upgrade of the dining area and lobby would be very nice. Hotel has an amazing location already, might as well improve it a bit more. Btw, internet seemed nonexistent

    The location was great! Our balcony is huge, and over the main road, with an amazing view of the water and Brown Castle! We people/car-watch. So easy to walk to the main Piazza, has a private beach (though pebbly). So convenient for the bus.

    The rooms were dated, and our car had been used (after they took it for valet parking!). We had dents in the wheels and arches of the alloys.

    The location was superb. The view out of our window was breathtaking.

    How short our stay was.

    Wonderful stay. Nicollo (if I recall his name correctly) was so accommodating with his warm welcome. Super chatty and helpful. Spoke very highly of the town and the area and gave us some great facts. Our room was stunning. Great room, space, bed, shower and a view of Castello Brown to round it off. Breakfast was good. Made fresh to order. Location was ideal. Just outside the bustle of the town with a short stroll into the main square. Little parking in the town in general but the staff took care of our car for us. Private access to the water and sunbeds

    The hotel room had a little wear and tear - chips in paint but I understand this is a very old building and has lots of charm and lovely place to stay! If someone is expecting a sterile chain hotel - this is not it. It has character.

    Location and View were the best I have had in my entire life - we opened our window and looked out our window at the Portofino harbor, gorgeous buildings, lanscape, Brown Castle and the Mediterranean - very romantic!
