The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The beach area and pool on the property are lovely. There’s so much to do in the area you cannot go wrong. The hotel restaurant is so beautiful for dinner on the balcony overlooking the sea. We look forward to return trip."

Santa Margherita Ligure

"Our check in was very disappointing. The room was very small so I request an upgrade which I was happy to pay for- the receptionist explained they had a room but it was being cleaned, for us to go enjoy lunch and come back to sort it out. On our return they had sold the room to someone else. Hotel location is nice, rooms tiny and old/ worn. Beach set up in also very small with sun loungers crammed together. the beach is lovely. Stay in a proper hotel and come use the beach!"

Top Italian Riviera Hotel Reviews

Imperiale Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great historical property, easy beach access, stuff was very accommodating."

Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast

8/10 Good

"It’s a nice hotel. They have a solo music player in the evening. I’ll expect a higher quality breakfast from a 5 * hotel but all in all is a great hotel."

Bristol Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic here. It's in a great location, clean and friendly staff. The breakfast was also a huge highlight. I highly recommend. Bring your own hair dryer, the one provided isn't good."

Hotel Piccolo Portofino

"Omg the location & the view was just what Portofino really is!!"
