High on a hillside above the yacht dotted harbour of Portofino, surrounded by pine trees and olive groves stands the Belmond Hotel Splendido, the most prestigious hotel in this most exclusive of resorts. Once a 16th-century Benedictine monastery, it has been a hotel since 1901 and has attracted a celebrated clientele whose pictures grace its elegant lobby. The grounds, the setting, the staff and the cuisine combine to rank the Belmond Hotel Splendido among the world's top luxury hotels, and as you step into its belle epoque grandeur you will see why in an instant. This is where Lauren Bacall enjoyed 'la dolce vita', and where Bogart, Gable and Bardot sought refuge from the media spotlight. No doubt they dined splendidly on exquisite and refined cuisine, enjoying mouthwatering creations that today's guests too will find hard to resist.
Choose to dine in either the elegance inside the La Terrazza restaurant or dine alfresco amidst hibiscus and perfumed roses on the terrace. Light snacks are available from the poolside restaurant while the lounge and bar are idyllic locations for either a private or sociable drink.
A leisurely swim in the spectacular pool perhaps or for the more energetic there is a small gymnasium. Stroll through the beautiful gardens or relax in the glorious Wellness Centre . There is golf available nearby in Rapello and a public beach in Santa Margherita about 10 minutes away.
First choice of the discerning, last word in luxury. Splendido!
