Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino

Harbourside Belmond bolthole, dog-friendly rooms steps from the piazzetta

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Splendido Mare is the harbourside sister to Splendido, a 14-room guesthouse right on Portofino's piazzetta. Paris agency Festen Architecture redesigned it for a 2021 reopening with nautical colours and mid-century touches, and it suits couples who want to be in the thick of village life with their dog. Small dogs are welcome in the rooms, and guests can use the shuttle up to Splendido for dog massages and amenities. The DaV Mare restaurant and its piazzetta bar are kept dog-free.

Why it's in the collection

You step straight onto the piazzetta for the lead-walk up to Castello Brown and the Portofino lighthouse, or along the Baia Cannone path. The shuttle drops you near Paraggi beach and the coastal road towards Santa Margherita.

Best suited for

Small dogs in rooms only, not the DaV Mare restaurant or piazzetta bar.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet-friendly rooms only, dogs on lead around the hotel. Dogs are kept out of communal areas including the DaV Mare restaurant and its piazzetta bar, so it's a rooms-and-shuttle stay for your dog. The pool, spa and beach loungers are at the sister hotel Splendido and at Bagni Fiore in Paraggi.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
