PB hotel design editorial

Pressed against the harbour wall of one of the world's most scrutinised piazzas, where the ochre and terracotta facades of Portofino's fishing village have drawn painters, film stars, and the European aristocracy since the nineteenth century, Splendido Mare A Belmond Hotel claims the most coveted address in the village itself. While its sister property, the original Hotel Splendido, commands the hillside above from a converted monastery, Splendido Mare is embedded within the piazzetta — a position that makes every arriving motorboat and departing yacht part of the daily theatre. The restaurant terrace, canopied in yellow and white stripes and framed by clipped box hedges in terracotta pots, functions less as a dining room than as the finest ringside seat on the Ligurian coast. The interiors, refreshed under Belmond's ongoing investment in the property, carry a restrained mid-century Italian domesticity — herringbone and parquet timber floors, barrel-vaulted ceilings with delicate gilt-line detailing, upholstered rattan chairs, and walnut-framed headboards paired with rose and wheat-toned blankets. Murano glass wall sconces and a chandelier of the same provenance illuminate the dark-panelled cocktail bar, its mirrored back shelf and leather barstools giving it the clubbable gravity of a Milanese drinking room transplanted to the sea. Throughout, the palette holds to warm cream and sand, letting the harbour light — and the view — carry the chromatic weight.

Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel Reviews

126 reviews

"The attentive and thoughtful service made my stay at Splendido Mare truly memorable. I was warmly welcomed with an early check-in, and Filippo, the Front Desk Manager, went above and beyond to arrange lunch at Splendido Grill and secure the best front-row loungers for me at Bagni Fiore Beach Club. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made every arrangement effortless. I also appreciated the many complimentary benefits throughout my stay, including the shuttle service connecting all of the Belmond properties in Portofino, complimentary gelato, reserved loungers at Bagni Fiore Beach Club, and access to the pool and breakfast at the sister hotel, Splendido. These thoughtful touches elevated the experience and reflected the exceptional level of hospitality that Belmond is known for. The hotel’s location is another highlight. Situated right in the heart of Portofino, everything is within easy walking distance—from the harbour and restaurants to the village’s charming streets. I even hiked up to Castello Brown and continued on to the Portofino Lighthouse. It was quite a walk, but the breathtaking views along the way made it well worth the effort. Overall, Splendido Mare offers the perfect combination of outstanding service, thoughtful amenities, and an unbeatable location. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Portofino."

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.
