The Belmond Splendido Mare lives up to its name; it is absolutely splendid. Portofino itself is a real treat, and the hotel is a gem. Truly elegant luxury. My friend and I stayed in the Mare, the restaurant, ambience and service were fabulous. We spent most of our daylight time at the pool at the Splendido, and the 10 minute walk was well-worth every minute. Beautiful infinity pool with Georgia’s view, and friendly but not overwhelming service. If you go, take a dip in the crystal clear Mediterranean on your walk back to the hotel. I’ve traveling all over the world and this is my favorite hotel so far!
