Nestled among the lush vegetation of the Ligurian Riviera, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Portofino and a serene blue sky, Hotel Piccolo is a true work of art in hospitality—a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Housed in an elegant period villa, this boutique hotel features generous terraces offering breathtaking views of this exclusive coastline. Inside, contemporary design plays with striking contrasts, blending white and black marbles with rich red velvets, crystals, and soft fabrics, creating a refined and intimate atmosphere.

The hotel boasts 23 uniquely designed rooms that reflect a serene and welcoming environment. Here, modern comforts harmonize with soft pastel tones, pristine white bedding, and plush pillows. Flowing curtains frame views of the stunning surrounding landscape, emphasizing the natural beauty of Portofino. Most rooms overlook the enchanting Tigullio Gulf, equipped with all essential amenities.

The restaurant features stylish interiors inspired by the vibrant colours of Portofino's houses, showcasing a bright red that complements the soft furnishings. The culinary offerings draw from the rich gastronomic tradition of Liguria, creating dishes that blend sea and land. Fresh daily catches, prime cuts of meat, and herbs—including the region's famed basil for pesto—populate the menu, alongside an array of vegetable pies and pastries. An excellent wine selection complements the dishes, enhancing the flavours of this delectable cuisine.

This year, a new terrace restaurant adds to the dining options, providing idyllic settings and delicious alternatives to the main menu. For a light, refreshing lunch, guests can enjoy a restaurant located on the beach.

With a commitment to exceptional service, Hotel Piccolo is an ideal retreat for total relaxation and comfort. A private pedestrian promenade leads directly to the centre of Portofino, while a sun terrace overlooking the Gulf creates a romantic getaway.

In addition to providing essential services, the hotel offers guests the convenience of an indoor parking lot nearby, available at a cost of 40 euros per day, with limited spaces that cannot be reserved in advance.

Situated on the slopes that characterize this exclusive stretch of the Ligurian coast, Hotel Piccolo commands a privileged position overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio. Its location has attracted celebrities and aristocrats since the 1960s, drawn to the area’s charm and vibrant social scene.

Yet, Portofino’s true spirit transcends the glitz of luxury yachts and high society. This ancient fishing village, founded by the Romans as Portus Delphini, reveals its character through narrow streets, colourful houses, winding paths, and charming cobblestone squares—an idyllic destination for those seeking relaxation amid stunning scenery.

Hotel Piccolo Portofino invites exploration and appreciation of the beauty and charm that makes this coastal gem a perfect retreat.
