Belmond Hotel Splendido

Jump to:

A former Benedictine monastery, the Belmond Hotel Splendido is perched gracefully on the hillside overlooking the picturesque town and bay of Portofino below.

Within its terraced grounds you’ll find a heated saltwater swimming pool, a tennis court and a well-equipped gym. The highlight is the La Terrazza Restaurant, which has sweeping views down to the sea and Portofino. Guests are also able to enjoy the facilities of the Belmond Splendido Mare, a charming annex right on the seafront in Portofino’s main square.

OUR OPINION:

Timelessly elegant and offering impeccable service and attention to detail, it’s hard to fault the Belmond Hotel Splendido and we wholeheartedly recommend it.
