Both the Splendido and Splendido Mare are situated on northern Italy’s Ligurian coast overlooking the bay of Portofino.
The history of these two dowagers of Italian luxury hotels is fascinating and evident at every turn. The Duke of Windsor and his elegant wife, Wallis Simpson, were the first to sign the visitors’ book and quickly became the forerunners in a long line of illustrious guests.
Originally built as a monastery in the 16th century, Hotel Splendido is set in a wonderfully semi-wild tropical garden overlooking the tiny town of Portofino. Many of its 69 air-conditioned rooms and suites, furnished with informal elegance, have balconies or terraces offering glorious views over the bay. Situated in a strategic position in the heart of Portofino, Splendido Mare offers sunny wellappointed rooms and suites most with their own balcony or terrace overlooking the bay.
The excellent restaurants offer alfresco or indoor dining with an emphasis on fresh seafood.
For those wishing for more than a room with a view, there is a tennis court, heated sea water swimming pool, gym and a recently opened wellness centre, designed for the ultimate relaxation experience. For even more action there is an 18 hole golf course, water sports including private yachts for charter and horse riding nearby. Guests at either of these famed hotels are assured a unique blend of beauty, luxury and unsurpassed service.
