Portofino, Italy

Belmond Hotel Splendido

An Insider's Take
'This legendary clifftop retreat has been the Mediterranean hideaway of choice for Hollywood royalty and European aristocracy since 1901, perched like a jewel above one of Italy's most photographed fishing villages.' What's Special? The hotel's terraced gardens cascade down toward the sapphire Ligurian Sea, featuring rare botanical specimens and centuries-old olive trees. Originally a 16th-century monastery, Splendido maintains its monastic tranquility while offering unparalleled luxury. The property's piano nobile houses priceless antiques and frescoed ceilings that have witnessed countless celebrity romances and royal gatherings.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Churchill Suite or Bogart Suite for the most spectacular sea views, and request dinner on the Poolside Terrace during sunset – the golden hour light reflecting off Portofino's pastel houses below is absolutely magical.
Don't Miss A private boat excursion to the hidden coves of Cinque Terre, accessible only by sea. The hotel's concierge can arrange exclusive access to the nearby Abbey of San Fruttuoso, where you can explore 1,000-year-old crypts and the underwater Christ of the Abyss statue. End with aperitivos at the hotel's American Bar, where Noel Coward once held court.
