Overlooking the harbour of Portofino, one of the most beautiful towns in the Italian Riviera, Belmond Hotel Splendido is a haven of style and glamour and the first word in luxury on this stunning stretch of coastline.

Through the lush gardens of the hotel grounds, you’ll find the Splendido’s heated, saltwater pool, the perfect spot, to unwind on a sunbed, while soaking up the surrounding panoramas.
Belmond Hotel Splendido takes pride of place overlooking the famous port of Portofino. Many of the rooms have private terraces with views across the harbour and are decorated in a traditional fresh and light northern Italian style.

Back on dry land, La Terrazza, the classic Italian restaurant at Belmond Hotel Splendido, has arguably one of the loveliest settings in Italy and serves traditional fare with a special attention to seafood.
The hotel's saltwater pool is a highlight, particularly in the heat of the summer, and is set amid lush gardens dotted with palm trees and with spectacular views of boats bobbing in the harbour beyond. Terraced gardens make the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery with a glass of something cold.
The small fishing village of Portofino retains a feeling of old-world charm and as a UNESCO World Heritage site has a truly unspoilt feeling. With scenery of breathtaking natural beauty it is unsurprising that this town has attracted writers such as Guy de Maupassant and Truman Capote, and the most glamorous Hollywood stars, including Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable.
