Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

At the Belmond Splendido Mare you will be treated as family with top notch service and access to all amenities you could desire as well as direct access and view of the amazing port!

Splendido Mare was extraordinary. The location, service, charm, whimsical touches (the stationery, the books of recommended activities, the snacks, the small in-room gifts), the design of the rooms, the attention to detail at every turn - all of it was magical. I cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

We had a truly wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. What stood out most was the exceptional staff, who consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their personal approach, attention to detail, and willingness to always add that extra touch made all the difference. The overall atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, allowing us to fully enjoy our time and feel completely at ease. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations, and it’s clear that a lot of passion and dedication goes into creating such a memorable experience. We left with great memories and would absolutely return without hesitation. Highly recommended!

My husband and I just stayed here for 2 1/2 days on our trip to Italy for our 20th anniversary. They made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. Everyone greeted you warmly, remembers your name, and is excited to help you and make your stay amazing. It was the hardest place we ever had to leave on our Italian journey, and I’m already trying to find excuse to travel all the way back from the US. At this unique property, you feel like you stepped back in time, the Pace slows, the emphasis is on enjoying the good food, the beautiful view, leisurely breakfast, strolls around the beautiful and friendly community. I recommend the beautiful walk along the coast to Santa Margarita. Every staff member was incredible from Felipe to housekeeping to room service and dining. The decor is inviting and the dining faces the stunning water. We will be back!!!!

Arriving at Splendido Mare feels like stepping into an Italian film. Overlooking Portofino’s picturesque harbour, the hotel has that effortless Riviera elegance that instantly slows the pace of the day. With only fourteen rooms it feels intimate, personal and very special. What truly makes it unforgettable is the team. Led by their wonderful manager Michela, they practise hospitality as an art , warm, attentive and effortlessly caring. At Dav Mare, Filipp, Juan, Susy, Fabio and Federico turn dinner into a joyful Italian evening. Luca at The Bar mixes fantastic cocktails while the harbour settles into night, and Salvatore from housekeeping keeps everything beautifully in place. We’re already looking forward to coming back.
