Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

Fabulous location, probably the best appointed suite we have ever stayed in. Too many little touches to mention. Staff are wonderful and found us great tables at exceptional restaurants every evening. Delicious breakfast. On the last day we had a breakfast box - feasted on it the whole day

This hotel should be given greater than 5 stars if possible. From design & aesthetics to quality & service, it was hands down one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. So beautiful. The location is perfectly situated in the heart of the Positano port with views out into the marina. We stayed in the Ava Gardner suite, which is worth it if you can manage the splurge. The patio is magnificent. This suite includes (I believe) a bit higher level of hospitality. They brought breakfast to us on our patio every morning, prepared a private dinner for us one night, and it includes laundry service and a boat ride on a gozzo during your visit. The service you get from everyone at the hotel was above and beyond. I can see why they’ve earned Michelin keys. With only fourteen rooms, there is a personal touch from everyone. The managers, the concierge, the bartender, all felt like personal friends in the end. They did everything they could to ensure we had the best visit ever. We had dinner at their restaurant and at the sister restaurant up the hill. Both meals were fantastic. And finally, this hotel ( not the sister hotel from what I understand) includes access to a beach club. It was a wonderful experience. Super high end with waiters and extremely comfortable chaise lounges right on platforms on the edge of the water. We went two days in a row. We loved it! Thanks for a great stay! I would come again and again. Portofino turned out to be a total jewel we didn’t expect to love so much as we did! We’ll be back.

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!
