Character and identity
Perched high above Portofino's harbour in a former 16th-century monastery, Splendido looks down on one of the most photographed coves in the Mediterranean. The setting is the headline act: terraced gardens drop towards the sea, the saltwater pool faces the bay, and rooms lean into that view with classic Ligurian palettes and proper Italian formality. Expect a stately, slightly old-world register rather than anything contemporary or minimalist. Dining and the chic lounge bar pull a well-dressed crowd at sunset, and the spa rounds out a property built for slow, scenic days rather than urban buzz.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples on a romantic or anniversary trip who want one of the Riviera's signature views, design traditionalists who appreciate a grand hillside villa over a modern beach club, and travellers who plan to split time between long lunches, the pool terrace, and boat excursions down to the harbour.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children looking for a kids' club and direct beach access, anyone wanting walkable nightlife on their doorstep (the hill is steep and shuttles are part of life here), and design-forward guests who prefer crisp contemporary interiors to classic Italian formality.
Bottom line
The view and the setting are the reason to book, and almost everything else flows from that decision. Splurge on a sea-facing room or suite (an interior or garden-view category undersells the entire experience), and target the May or September shoulders when Portofino is lively but not overrun and rates ease off peak August levels.
