Set right on the seafront in Portofino, Hotel Piccolo Portofino offers a private rocky beach with a bar. It is a historic villa that now features stylish designer interiors.
One of the only hotels to be located directly on Portofino’s pretty little harbor, Albergo Nazionale offers lovely views and great service as well as spacious, comfortable rooms.
Chic Piazzetta Hideaway by PortofinoVip in Portofino provides accommodations with free Wifi, a 9-minute walk from Spiaggia dell' Olivetta, one mile from Paraggi Beach, and 15 miles from Casa Carbone.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations. However, it is tiny and the weather was not great which limits what there is to do. Two nights rather than three would have been enough.
Also it really is expensive. Not a place to go if you are on a budget.
My husband and son had brilliant food - particularly DaV Mere - but they love fish and seafood. Not great for vegetarians.

We enjoyed walking and getting around but Portofino is really small so don't spend more than one night there. I was expecting more people to be around but it was really empty after the sunset. People come in boats to know the harbour but they don't stay around after so it's very quiet (at least in April when I went). There aren't that many options for good food but the restaurant "Trattoria Tripoli" was a highlight of our stay in Portofino. Probably the best Frutti di mare spaghetti I have had in my life!

Portofino had been on the bucket list for some time so the expectations were high.... and so they were met ! A very very nice little village on the cost with all typical medditerrainian stuf. 1 day should be enough to cover it as a small place. Can recommend to travel here off season as no crowds and safe to move around. The Restaurants might seem a bit expencive but then they are good !

Portofino might have been a lovely place in the 60s - today it is a poor cartoon of a fisherman's village. Ridiculously overpriced (2 spritz + 0.5l water 33€) but still overcrowded. Seems there are a lot of people, that hope some of the yacht owners wealth will be shared with them if they get close...

Portofino is a hipe and we wanted to go there once, but unless COVID it was too much overcrowded.
It is a very small village around a harbour. Lovely with a lot of high fashion boutiques and restaurants along the harbor.
During July 2020 a lot of shops were closed but most restaurants were open - although only the once with the best rating on google and tripadviser were full, so we were glad to have a reservation.
the light at sunset is beautiful too - but if it does not have to be Portofino - there are other small beautiful fisher villages which are not so famous and expensive.
The hotel has a brilliant location right on the main square in Portofino. Our room was lovely and large with a large sitting room area. It was quiet and spotlessly clean. The staff as ever were very helpful, helping us make a reservation at a restaurant in San Fruttuoso and lending us a back pack for our hike. The hotel also offers a discount on the local parking. Finally, excellent coffee and breakfast on the terrace at the front of the hotel. Highly recommended.
This is exactly what i hoped for. The Refugio is simple to access by walk and just 10 min far from the Road and the bus station nearby. I was charmed by the Place, the calm, the nature and the possibility to escape the crowd to enjoy beautiful view and the compagny of the very kind hosts. Thank you for the time and food spent together. I recommand this Place and i will for sure be back if i pass by Portofino or the cinqueterre.
location was unbelievable. The view from our room and once outside the hotel, were of a crystal clear blue cove and out to the castle overlooking Portofino harbour. The staff were impeccable and couldn't do enough to help. Breakfast was superb, with both hot and cold options as well as recommendations on the fantastic range of pastries available daily.
We loved everything. Surprised my partner and we both had the most magical time. Our room had a sea view which made it extra special. Every single person working at the hotel is professional, friendly and can’t do enough for you. Loved the location, views, room, staff and, of course, the breakfast. Best ever! The only place to stay when in Portofino.
The hotel is 5 minutes walk from Portofino bay. The room was quite big with a terrace and wonderful view to the sea. The hotel has a beautiful private beach with small areas to rest and enjoy a bar, which is active during the summer. Breakfast was very good, there are menus on each table with a selection of omelets they serve
Great location - Portofino is an upmarket destination and this was bang in the middle of it. Very clean. Mini fridge and cooking space work fine, there’s even a small table and two dining chairs …. Nespresso machine ! WiFi fine.
Perhaps the main plus is simply that it’s affordable, unlike most other options in town.
The location of Casetta di Portofino is excellent, right above the shops. The furnishings are modern, and the airconditioning works perfectly. The design is very efficient, you have everthing you need at your disposal. Internet (wifi) worked great and easy to connect, and plenty of EU plugs to charge devices, etc.
The Nature around ,the beach just few minutes walking at the end of the road, the tranquillity , lovely friendly staff, very nice healthy home made breakfast
