The Ligurian fishing village of Portofino is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of trip for most, so why restrict yourself to one spot? Belmond Hotel Splendido and Belmond Splendido Mare offer both cliffside and village-center rooms — ideal for those allergic to commitment.

As above, so below. The ancient term finds new meaning at the dualistic property of Belmond Hotel Splendido. Set in and around the old fishing village of Portofino, the hotel offers a choice: Belmond Hotel Splendido, overlooking the bay and the glamorous yachts, and Belmond Splendido Mare beside the renowned Piazzetta, close to the lively quay

Belmond Hotel Splendido’s 67 rooms and suites are furnished with luxury and refinement. Guests can taste the authentic Ligurian cuisine at La Terrazza Restaurant or enjoy a casual lunch on the deck between dips in the pool. Don’t lose the chance to relax with an open-air massage in the lush gardens or spend the day beside the hotel’s heated pool.

Belmond Splendido Mare, with 16 rooms and suites, sits almost immediately on the village square, plugged in to the quaint-yet-vibrant energy that draws so many to the region. The Chuflay Restaurant conjures up the glamour of decades past. Guest can taste regional specialities or sip a drink on the terrace bordering the bustling Piazzetta.
