Hotel Splendido & Splendido Mare, an Orient-Express Hotel - the two properties are connected by scenic walking path or shuttle service - is a rare escape along the Portofino coast. Ravishingly elegant, yet gracious and homey at once, this seaside hideaway offers every creature comfort. Sea-view rooms, with balcony, are the most spacious choice; each brims with locally painted frescoes depicting scenes from around Portofino. Relax by the heated seawater swimming pool, taking in dramatic sea views; then head to La Terrazza for locally caught fish.

Perched on a hillside over Portofino Harbor, Hotel Splendido is a happy witness to the Italian island's magnetism ... it attracts yachts from all over the world. Fragrant pine trees and peaceful olive groves surround it; town, restaurants and nightlife are a short stroll away. Those who want to relax enjoy the restaurant and pool, both overlooking the harbor. Others may hire the hotel's speedboat for waterskiing, or pursue a round of golf at nearby Rapallo. And the new 16-room addition, Splendido Mare, overlooks the harbor and San Giorgio Castle. Guests at Splendido Mare enjoy access to the facilities of the Hotel Splendido. |
