Hotel strategically located at top of the hills with amazing views from the room and the breakfast terrace. The room was spacious and the air conditioning worked perfectly during the day. Staff were outstanding; helpful and respectful. Taking the elevators to the shore and to the swimming area was amazing and provided a unique experience.

Expected more varieties at breakfast as part of the buffet. You need to pay to get some items like egg omelette

The bar. The bar was excellent. Custom cocktails, great advice, and friendly service. And not badly priced for the experience. The bartender is a true asset to the hotel. The setting is incredible. Few hotels can bost anything like the setting. Breakfast is good if not especially varied. The decor is fitting, and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming, as well as being efficient. Loads of storage in the room. Room was also very large. The restaurant had a great menu and the wine pairings were excellent.

The room decor is a bit random and all over the place. The fact that the lift directly down to the bathing facilities was out of order was a bit of a shame, as was the rockfall which had cut off our favourite place to sunbathe. The latter, of course, is no fault of the hotel. The shower could be much better in terms of both pressure and temperature.

Historic property. Fantastic bar and bar tender. Great views from restaurant. Convenient elevator to take you down to the street. Free parking for your car.

60 minutes from Cinque terre by train. You have to work around the train schedule. No bottled water in the room. You have to use a mini bar if you want water. Old hotel so property is pretty dated.

The views are spectacular. The service was great. Breakfast is exceptional with so many choices, At dinner I received my first amuse bouche. The star for us was the bar tender Pietro. He was engaging and knowledgeable. He answered questions from sightseeing to history. He also made an amazing Hugo spritz. The stunning view from the outside dining is a must experience. There is a park and trail behind the hotel. The trail leads to an amazing overvuewof the sea and the sea pool. All this in a romantic, elegant, old world setting.

This hotel is just simply beautiful. What a wonderful place. Staff were nice. Great location with an elevator to get from the hotel to the Main Street (avoids the hill walk). Stunning views from all over. Nice restaurant on site for great food and drinks. Very enthusiastic bar man. Clean and tidy rooms. Overall a wonderful stay. Next time we will be staying longer

Staff, location room facilities and cleanliness were all exceptional. This hotel is exceptional and the restaurant for dinner is a “Wow” factor bonus.

Nothing

A magnificent hotel with an interesting history, a wondeful place on the top of a hillabove the see. There is a convenient elevator that takes you down from the hotel grounds directly to the port. The restaurant terrace offers a magnificient view of the sea!

Beautiful property and very welcoming staff.

There was no pool. The pool was a “natural” pool and you have to pay extra to use it. The color of the water was not what i expected … due to fhe reflection of the rocks, a dark blue/gray, not the beautiful turquoise color Portofino is famous for.

Amazing hotel! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for an exceptional experience which is extraordinary.

Everything was great!

We ask facilits to old people - they dont have any , everything is difficult. When I asked about this , they could say the true and we could looking for another hotel
