Beautiful if a little cold hotel. Modern and elegant. Lovely room with patio and lounge chairs and gorgeous breakfast area. Best was right in town, walking at night and early in the morning to feel like you "live" here..... Expensive, but got best rate and an upgrade through Small Luxury Hotels. Staff competent but less than warm/friendly except for the... More

The hotel is really nice and the staff was really helpful and friendly. The rooms are quite expensive but you are in Portofino and there are only 2 hotels walking distance from the harbour so I guess you have to pay for it ! But you also pay 14 euros for a beer so.....:) The room was made twice a... More

The only good feature about this hotel is that it in situated in Portofino. We had been booked into a room with a small terrace or balcony but while our room was nIce it did not have a balcony.

Would definitely stay there again, esp. compared to the loud location... More

Our room was small with no drawers and very few hangers so it was difficult to unpack and we had to pile our cases up in the room... More

Was supposed to stay at sister hotel located on the water just outside of Portofino; however, eventhough, we had confirmed reservations the sister hotel decided to close early for the season and we were redirected to the San Giorgio (Hotel 8) for our two night stay. Although they apparently notified us by email we did not receive the email and... More

We had a very good stay but must highlight the inflexibility and rudeness of management when wanting to check out earlier than planned. What a pity as it left a truly bad taste in our mouths. More
