Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations. However, it is tiny and the weather was not great which limits what there is to do. Two nights rather than three would have been enough.
Also it really is expensive. Not a place to go if you are on a budget.
My husband and son had brilliant food - particularly DaV Mere - but they love fish and seafood. Not great for vegetarians.

We enjoyed walking and getting around but Portofino is really small so don't spend more than one night there. I was expecting more people to be around but it was really empty after the sunset. People come in boats to know the harbour but they don't stay around after so it's very quiet (at least in April when I went). There aren't that many options for good food but the restaurant "Trattoria Tripoli" was a highlight of our stay in Portofino. Probably the best Frutti di mare spaghetti I have had in my life!

Portofino had been on the bucket list for some time so the expectations were high.... and so they were met ! A very very nice little village on the cost with all typical medditerrainian stuf. 1 day should be enough to cover it as a small place. Can recommend to travel here off season as no crowds and safe to move around. The Restaurants might seem a bit expencive but then they are good !

Portofino might have been a lovely place in the 60s - today it is a poor cartoon of a fisherman's village. Ridiculously overpriced (2 spritz + 0.5l water 33€) but still overcrowded. Seems there are a lot of people, that hope some of the yacht owners wealth will be shared with them if they get close...

Portofino is a hipe and we wanted to go there once, but unless COVID it was too much overcrowded.
It is a very small village around a harbour. Lovely with a lot of high fashion boutiques and restaurants along the harbor.
During July 2020 a lot of shops were closed but most restaurants were open - although only the once with the best rating on google and tripadviser were full, so we were glad to have a reservation.
the light at sunset is beautiful too - but if it does not have to be Portofino - there are other small beautiful fisher villages which are not so famous and expensive.
Carlotta was a superb host who did everything she could to make our stay memorable despite very variable weather. On one of our rides back from Portofino we were thrilled to see a herd of wild boar in the adjacent woodland. Our room was cosy and clean with a great view . The terraces and gardens of the property were delightful, and we really enjoyed the walk from there to Santa Margherita. Breakfast was out on the terrace and was very good- tasty local produce.
Albergo Nationale is a good stay in Portofino if you dont want to break the bank account but still be in the mids of all the fun! Its a small and pleasant hotel with normal facilities but you wont need much more if your in Portofino for a weekend break or just passing by. I would repeat my stay. windows are over the main plaza if you manage to get one of these rooms and those are really worth it! Good air con too.
The property is right at the heart of Portofino. Don’t look away if you want something that is close to anything and you everything. It was clean and came with basic amenities.
The owner was very very helpful and was always reachable on phone .
The cooker are quite good and Utensils provided . Also comes with a very decent internet connection. The view from the balcony is amazing too.
The hotel's location is fantastic! We will definitely return. The food was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly friendly. It's a great spot for both hiking and swimming. It feels like a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and the pricey Portofino atmosphere. We had an absolute blast during our stay, and it was a truly dreamy experience.
Excellent communication & the apartment was huge! They even had breakfast items in the refrigerator for us. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the amenities you would need.The two very large bathrooms were stocked with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps & shampoos. The view from the balcony is probably one of the best from an apartment in Portofino!
The property was very clean and upgraded. The location is a mile walk to Portofino and 5 minutes bus ride to Santa margaritas. A couple of restaurants and a small tiny mart is close by. The parking was very convenient but cost 25 euros. The host Nick was very helpful and allowed us to stay until 12 pm. The view is great .
the view was absolutely amazing after all the steps it made it worth it. Thomas was the most lovely and accommodating host. breakfast was amazing, couldn’t fault anything. best value for money in portofino
the location perfect, the view amazing
no Acs, nice for one night only. very important to know the hotel up to hill and you have to go upstairs more than 180 steps. don’t take any bag. only small hand bag
Amazing property right in the center of Portofino- on the water with spectacular views! The hosts were extremely kind and easy to communicate with. Absolutely loved my stay!
The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully done. The entire hotel is very well done and they have a lovely sister beach hotel with access to all beach amenities.
excelent location, in front of a beach where the hotel has sunbeds for the guests and a good bar / restaurant. breakfast was amazing and staff was very helpful
Lovely and cosy apartment right in the centre of Portofino. The apartment was very clean and had all necessary amenities available for a comfortable stay.
