What guests think

Across reviews of Hotel Piccolo Portofino, travellers consistently praise the scenic, walkable location near Portofino’s bay and the private beach terraces with sea views, noting easy access to town and transport alongside memorable outlooks from many rooms.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported rude interactions or questionable charges. Rooms tend to feel dated; some bathrooms are small or poorly ventilated, and occasional noise or maintenance issues appear. Breakfast and on-site meals earn frequent compliments, but a handful mention limited offerings or would skip dining here, and parking is available at a fee. You’ll trade modern polish for setting and service.

Chambre spacieuse, personnel accueillant, serviable et chaleureux. La baie privee est tres agreable et facile d'acces. Par contre, c'est quand meme plus evident d'avoir une voiture pour sejourner dans cet hotel et pouvoir se balader facilement dans les environs, aller dejeuner, diner etc. A noter que l'hotel n'offre que le service du petit dejeuner; les dejeuners et diners ne sont pas proposes dans cet hotel. Pour le prix et la categorie 4* de cet hotel, j'ai ete un peu decue par l'offre globalement, meme si l'hotel reste tres bon.

Wonderful hotel with incredible beach access, sun loungers on tiers jutting out over the water, sea views from the rooms, unbelievably delicious food at 2 dining areas overlooking the water, and a wonderful staff. My only thought is that the interior of the hotel itself could use a coat of paint—perhaps something lighter— and a little design refresh. But, truly, it’s really nothing when balanced against all of the positives that make this gem shine. Don’t hesitate—stay here!

We had a wonderful stay at Piccolo - excellent staff who went out of their way to assist us with everything and a great location. The private terrace above the bay is a magic spot to relax at after a morning spent in Portofino.

One of Portofino’s finest hotels. Our private, luxurious, high-ceiling, large room with a balcony overlooking the sea was a total treat. A fairy tale. A short stroll to the bay of Portofino where all the action is on the waterfront. The staff were so friendly and kind, they really took great care of us. We hope to return one summer to take advantage of the hotels own private beach.

The hotel is dull throughout the building. Dark colours interior. The building looks lovely from the outside. But old and uncool on the inside. The was a strong ‘sewage’ smell in my room and I had a headache everyday. I didn’t complaint as the Italian service is usually very poor towards foreigners . I stayed quite and enjoyed the view - that’s all worth it … but having said that many others hotels have a great sea view too. It is overpriced for what it offers. There is not even a bar or room services in the offer; no fresh squeezed orange juice at breakfast, the breakfast room has not sea view it is small and hasn’t got a relaxing atmosphere and what I really did not appreciate the most was when I was going to dinner at night and it was 300 metres from the hotel (1 minute driving) the hotel member offered a kind of personal taxi services to drive me at the extra cost of 50 euros … 1 minute driving to the Portofino splendid mare restaurant… I felt robed really ! I paid for it and he asked for another 50 euros to collect me back .. of course I have taken the bus and paid 5 euros for the journey … I felt extraordinary extorted! Never more.

Detta hotell blev för oss en oväntad pärla, inte minst på grund av den otroligt vänliga, roliga och serviceinriktade personalen, från reception till restaurangen. Som för övrigt serverade en alldeles utmärkt middag. När vi sen, efter frukost, men innan utcheckning hann ner till den romantiska stranden för lite sol och bad kändes det som en natt för alldeles för litet på det här stället.
