Modern, upscale, beautifully furnished. We were very, very comfortable here & hated to leave. Alesandra (sp?) at the front desk was warm & welcoming. All of our needs were met & exceeded. The hotel location is so convenient to Portofino...we only had to walk the beautiful road that curves along the mountain & the sea. Don't miss the Capo Nord, American Bar, restaurant that is only 1 km from the hotel. Also, the proprietor at the restaurant connected to the Bagno Fiore, the beach next to the hotel, was charming & accomodating each time we visited. Finally, be sure to visit Manuela at the Winterose Wine Shop in Portofino. Her knowledge of local vino is superb & the antipasti she serves with your wine is divine!
