We had a nice suite overlooking the sea . Breakfast was good evening dinners were ok nothing to write home about. They can certainly improve on them. Service staff was good. Might be a good idea to offer a shuttle service into town as you have to walk on Main Street with small side paths .

This is a beautiful hotel with a lovely pool area right on the water. The views are stunning. Our biggest issue was with the beds. They are super hard/firm and incredibly uncomfortable. I would recommend testing the comfort of the bed before accepting a particular room.

Faultless experience! This beautiful hotel has the best views of Santa Margherita and Portfino. Our suite with balcony and sea views was spacious and beautifully decorated with 2 bathrooms and a separate sitting room. The staff were excellent and breakfast on the terrace was stunning. For 4 days in May 2025 it felt like a fairytale in a palace.

This is the first class property. And also first class staff. My wife and I bought a bottle of wine at dinner. By the end of dinner, we thought that we drank three bottles of wine. The reason why is because every time we took a sip or two the waiter would come and refill our glasses. Or I should say waiters. He was there so many times and was so attentive that we literally thought we drink three bottles of wine. It was a very beautiful experience. I was impressed with the property and the people.
