The Hotel

Heaven by the harbour

Tucked into the curve of Portofino harbour is the stylish Splendido Mare. Our 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. Portofino’s glamorous village spirit flows through our doors. Inside, you’ll discover an alluring haven, chic in design and playful in nature.

Our Storied Legacy

Portofino has been a glamorous holiday destination since the 1800s, but it was in the 1950s where it enjoyed its golden age. Royals, intellectuals and Hollywood icons flocked to the village during this celebrated era of design, architecture and urban development in Italy.



Splendido Mare proudly continues its legacy as the most important hotel in Portofino — a charming guest house where you arrive to welcoming simplicity. What started life as a haven for fishermen is now a vibrant hub for the global jet-set, at the heart of one of the most stylish marina villages in Italy.
