Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

The story

Splendido Mare sits on Portofino’s harborfront with just 14 rooms and suites, keeping the scale intimate while placing DaV Mare and its cocktail bar right on the piazzetta. Bagni Fiore beach access, in-room spa treatments, a 24-hour gym, and a complimentary shuttle to sister hotel Splendido extend the stay beyond the front door. Rooms range from doubles to suites, and the hotel also keeps Gelateria San Giorgio nearby for ice cream and sweet treats. The address puts boutiques, restaurants, and the harbor immediately at hand, while boat excursions and water sports fold the wider Riviera into the day.
