A note on experience
Splendido Mare thrives overlooking the piazzetta, with Portofino’s village life right outside.

Tucked into the curve of Portofino harbour is the stylish Splendido Mare. This charming guest house takes pride of place on the town’s main piazzetta, where you’ll be perfectly poised for a dip into the local social scene.
Splendido Mare sits directly on the harbour of Portofino, the iconic Ligurian fishing village that has anchored Italian glamour since the 1950s. Belmond’s hotel has 14 rooms and suites in the harbour front building, with sea view balconies opening directly onto the famous Piazzetta
Splendido Mare operates as the sister property to Belmond’s Splendido Hotel on the cliff above, with guests of either property able to use both.
The Portofino harbour itself is the centrepiece: yachts, gelaterie, the small parish church of San Giorgio on the headland and the walk up to the lighthouse at Punta del Capo. The hotel sits a 5-minute walk to the trail up to Castello Brown and the famous coastal walk to San Fruttuoso and Camogli.

From an al fresco Aperitivo to casual fine dining at dusk, Splendido Mare makes use of fresh ingredients and traditional recipes.
Savour the delicacies of DaV Mare. Join the Cerea family to experience true expertise in service and gastronomy, Portofino style. Or saunter over to Gelateria San Giorgio for a cooling sweet treat, where authentic flavour is always the scoop of the day.
