A hotel that truly makes you feel like the most important guest in the world From the moment you arrive, Splendido Mare in Portofino makes you feel like the most important guest in the world. The setting is simply beautiful, and the hotel itself is spectacular. Food and service are impeccable at every turn, and even the smallest details — the tableware, the cutlery — are refined and thoughtfully chosen. A benchmark for what genuine luxury hospitality should feel like.

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.
