This world class resort defines luxury like no other. It is no wonder that it has and still continues to attract the rich and famous. One of the reasons for its lasting success may be that in spite of how grand it is, it is not pretentious. In fact, it is pretty low key; endless days seem to pass quietly in serene beauty. The hotel is actually an ancient villa that overlooks the spectacular bay and tiny harbor of Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Set on the hillside in four acres of romantic tropical gardens and superb palm trees, this luxury villa was transformed into a deluxe hotel in 1901. The views of the gardens and sea beyond from the balcony's and terrraces of the rooms and suites are inspiring at least and breath taking at best. Yachts can often be seen anchored in the tiny harbour below. This maybe one of the rare places where those on their yachts envy, just a bit, those staying above at the hotel. The fact that it is considered one of the most expensive resort hotels in Europe only reinforces the desire of making it a life "experience" For those who are considering equally expensive holidays this choice may actually represent good value. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". Splendido delivers!
