Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino
Italy
This romantic former 16th-century monastery, set on the hillside overlooking Portofino harbour, is a favourite with celebrity clientele and simply oozes la dolce vita. Elegant and discreet, with impeccable hospitality, this Italian classic provides a relaxed Mediterranean ambience with pretty tiered gardens and pathways leading to the picturesque yacht-strewn harbour below. Antiques and art grace the interiors, while The Wellness Centre, surrounded by fragrant pines and olive trees, is an oasis of tranquillity. Indulge with fine Italian specialities at the open-air terrace of La Terrazza, soak up the sensational views and savour the space and elegance of the Splendido Suite. Romance comes easily here, with gourmet picnics, trips to scenic Liguria, or a sunset cruise to San Fruttuoso Bay with champagne and canapes. With sister hotel Splendido Mare located at the harbourside, guests can also enjoy the complimentary hotel shuttle service between the two.
