Beautiful Hotel. Definitely follow their website's directions. Rooms (we had 2) were wonderful, clean, luxurious. nightly turn down service. Our ocean view rooms were to die for. I stayed up really late just looking at the ocean. We went for a walk up the road and it was so worth it. (out the driveway and to the right- careful of... More

This hotel was unbelievable. My husband and I stayed here as well as some friends for our wedding in Portofino and actually had our small reception here. (Our wedding was in November 2011) This place is exquisite and the service is exceptional. The location and view of this hotel is absolutely perfect and breathtaking. The convenience of the location is... More

I never do these write-ups, because I'm a professional travel writer and editor. (This is not a sponsored review in any way, and the hotel stay itself was not in connection with any assignment.)

We loved our recent 5-day stay at the Excelsior. Of course the hotel and the location are fantastic, and the staff were so kind and considerate.

I´ve booked this hotel after looking for different options in Portofino, Santa Margarita and near towns. It was definitely an excellent decision; the hotel has everything you need to have a great time in Italy, breathtaking ocean view, nice rooms, excellent spa and pool, very good restaurant, excellent service (concierge, waiters and everybody), and excellent breakfast.

After a long car ride from the airport in Pisa, I was thrilled to walk into our room at The Excelsior! The room is small, but sufficient and nicely decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our balcony every night! It was great to grab a bottle of wine and sit on the balcony and admire the beauty of the Ligurian Sea. Each... More

This hotel has a superb location overlooking the harbour on the left and with views across the bay towards Portofino on the right. The staff were very attentive, always looking round to see if anyone needed attention. The hotel is very ornate with antiques/old mirrors & furniture everywhere. It is well worth paying the extra for a sea-view room. We... More

We stayed here for two nights with an organised tour - very old world type of hotel - rooms on the smaller size by nicely furnished and quiet. We only had breakfast here - basic Italian style buffet - eggs extra cost. Very serviceable with nice views. We were here specifically to visit the Cinque Terre by private boats which... More
