We had reservations for lunch at Hotel Splendido knowing we would have a day in Portofino while on a cruise. It is, indeed, a beautiful place. However, we had terrible service and little consideration on their part for mistakes. After our first courses, the waiter brought my husband another plate of the same dish he'd just eaten as his second... More

One of the best hotel experiences I have had in all my travels. And "experience" is the key, everything at this hotel works so beautifully together, I felt as though I was walking around the set of a romantic movie with every detail in place. The physical building is charming and romantic. The view from the rooms (as well as... More

This is a very nice hotel, but you really need to go for the view room. Else the price would be too high. As it was raining during most of our visit, he wife and I spent most of our time out on the balcony that over look the sea. Simply amazing. Another thing that was great, is that I... More

My husband and I were looking for a nice romantic place to go for a long weekend before the summer rush started. I eventually found this hotel while surfing the net - it looked fastastic so i booked a junior suite. I was a bit unsure as one could never really trust any hotel's website 100%. But we did have...

We were lucky enough to stay last week (it's opening week).I would agree with most of the comments made by previous reviewers.It's very expensive, just in tips I spent over 300euros (we were only there for 4 days!).Was the stay worth the money-most definitely yes.The service standards are very high & nothing was too much for the staff.A final word...

We have stayed several times in the past but not recently. We returned at the very start of the 2012 season just prior to Easter (which, by the way, is an excellent time to go to beat the crowds). Contrary to some reports, the hotel is still in splendid form. The private and public rooms are immaculate and the entire... More

We were unsure if it would be worth it as it can be very expensive in high season, but I have to stay it was worth every penny! Classic Italian charm with modern luxury.

We stayed at Hotel Splendido in Sept 2011 for our Honeymoon. Every part of the trip was perfect. The Hotel is exceptional. The view from the pool is breathtaking. Lunch each day on the terrace with a bottle of rose was lovely. We rented a little boat each morning at the harbor and traveled around the coast on our own.... More
