This hotel offered a lovely stay with stunning views of Portofino and a clean, well-maintained environment. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though the shower size was a bit of a letdown. The location, while beautiful, felt somewhat isolated without many dining options nearby, and the prices for food and drinks at the hotel were on the higher side. Overall, it was a nice experience but with a few drawbacks regarding accessibility and dining costs.

I was pleasantly surprised by this gem! The views are simply breathtaking from every angle, and the spa services offer a luxurious touch.
