The 6 best hotels in Portofino, Italy

August 7, 2022 Venice Greaves

One of the most popular resort towns on the Italian Riviera, little Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes on summer days when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbor to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets. Diving, hiking and beach-going are popular local pastimes, and there are even some historic sights like the Church of St. Martin (Divo Martino) and the Castello Brown hilltop fortress.

What an amazing and memorable experience at the Belmond Portofino!!! We can’t wait to return soon. Every staff member is so professional and attentive; my heartfelt thanks especially to assistant GM Danielle for accommodating our special request last minute. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the breathtaking view of the cove while sipping complimentary champagne and listening to "Love in Portofino” live is indeed the BEST experience anyone could ask for. Food at the La Terrazza and the pool are superb as well, we love their fried anchovies and eggplant appetizer. The Christian Dior outdoor spa is out of this world, everything including the bedsheet, pillow, bathrobe, and furniture is all by CD. The cabana is surrounded by a lush landscape overlooking the amazing view. There are fresh fruits and drinks awaiting you in their private secluded sitting area after your spa service. If there was only one hotel I could ever return to, I would 100% choose the Belmond Portofino without any hesitation!!! My thanks to the Belmond Portofino team and see you soon :)

What a fab hotel! We were a room upgraded on arrival which was such a great start to our stay. The rooms are so good, spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds and plenty of storage space for our objects. We also had a really nice breakfast with various and fresh products. Overall a nice stay and a nice location.

Albergo Nazionale

Portofino: the little piazza with its quaint features, the sheer cliffs above an emerald sea, but devoid of sandy beaches. In the heart of these surroundings stands the ALBERGO NAZIONALE. Here you will enjoy occupying one of the 12 double rooms ncorporating bath, mini-bar, telephone, TV, central heating and/or air conditioning; in short, everything to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. You may also be fortunate enough to occupy a room offering a splendid view of the harbour.Breakfast is provided; the hotel is served by the Restaurant "da Nicola", in which is possible to order a la carte the best specialties of the Ligurian cooking based on fish and superior quality ingredients. Lunch and dinner can also be taken in any one of the many well-known restaurants encircling the piazza.Family management by the proprietors dates back to the early 1900's and their experience ensures an atmosphere of friendly and unpretentious hospitality.
