One of the best hotel experiences I have had in all my travels. And "experience" is the key, everything at this hotel works so beautifully together, I felt as though I was walking around the set of a romantic movie with every detail in place. The physical building is charming and romantic. The view from the rooms (as well as... More

This is a very nice hotel, but you really need to go for the view room. Else the price would be too high. As it was raining during most of our visit, he wife and I spent most of our time out on the balcony that over look the sea. Simply amazing. Another thing that was great, is that I... More

I eventually found this hotel while surfing the net - it looked fastastic so i booked a junior suite. I was a bit unsure as one could never really trust any hotel's website 100%. But we did have...

We were lucky enough to stay last week (it's opening week).I would agree with most of the comments made by previous reviewers.It's very expensive, just in tips I spent over 300euros (we were only there for 4 days!).Was the stay worth the money-most definitely yes.The service standards are very high & nothing was too much for the staff.A final word...

We have stayed several times in the past but not recently. We returned at the very start of the 2012 season just prior to Easter (which, by the way, is an excellent time to go to beat the crowds). Contrary to some reports, the hotel is still in splendid form. The private and public rooms are immaculate and the entire... More

We were unsure if it would be worth it as it can be very expensive in high season, but I have to stay it was worth every penny! Classic Italian charm with modern luxury. The views are stunning and we loved loved loved the walk down to Portofino in the evenings for dinner. It has elegance and charm without being... More

Lunch each day on the terrace with a bottle of rose was lovely. We rented a little boat each morning at the harbor and traveled around the coast on our own.... More

Room 542 is so charming the bathroom is awesome, bedroom is great, there's a small sitting room but the best part of all is climbing up a small ladder out the window onto the rooftop terrace. All...
