Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Wonderful experience. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The surroundings on Paraggi Beach are fabulous. An added benefit is the complimentary chauffeur service to Portofino. Try the Portico taverna for lunch or dinner. Great food. Great people.

I stayed with my wife on our covid delayed honeymoon. The hotel is small and cute, with a great breakfast. The patio on the room deck makes this place 4 stargs. A little bit of hike into town, but nothing too strenuous. The staff was amazing at helping with a complicated reservation issue with Expedia and American Express. The front desk helped through many emails and phone calls to get the issue resolved. Would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing small luxury hotel. I strongly recommend this hotel, the decor is very well thought out and classy. My room was fairly small, but had everything we needed, everything worked just fine, the bed was super comfortable, the dyson hair dryer a great surprise. The sauna and steam room were also very relaxing. Breakfast had plenty of cold and hot selections and all was of great fresh quality. All in all a wonderful stay and we will certainly be back, but what really stood out is its staff. They are all so friendly while maintaining high professional standards. Grazie mille a Riccardo che ci ha scorrazzato tra Portofino e Paraggi, a Nicola che parcheggia come un mago e a tutti alla reception. Grazie e a presto!

So doesn’t describe such a work of art! This boutique Hotel is incredible. The moment you walk in your greeted by name, beautiful entry, and a cocktail. Our room 50 is so comfy, bathroom over the top and nice and cool. I would never stay in any other hotel based on my experience at both hotels.

Our first trip to Portofino so choice of hotel was to a degree "pot luck". The location was good and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel rooms are small, however, and we would strongly advise against booking into the cheapest rooms.

Most people visit Portofino by ferryboat from Santa Margharita. They may stay for lunch or early dinner and then go back to their hotels away from Portofino. If you desire to experience Portofino at night it is best to stay overnight in one of the few hotels on location. In the evening the place quiets down and reveals its true charm. Fewer people patronize the restaurants. The ambience is truly extraordinary. We originally had booked a room at the Eight Hotel in Paraggi. Unfortunately, when we arrived there was only one room left and with our luggage it turned out to be too small for comfort. When we brought up the dilemma to the reception clerk we were immediately contacted by the hotel director, Christian. He offered us a bigger room at their sister hotel in Portofino at no additional conditions. He volunteered to have us taken there by a company clerk in their own limo - a rare, old Fiat 500 with two passenger rows. When we got there he had already moved there himself in order to be able to welcome us personally and to show us around the small, but intimate hotel. What a service! p.s. the hotel only serves breakfast, but is more than happy to refer you to the local restaurant scene.

It's a nice hotel. Modern ambiance, good equipment! It has dyson hairdryer! I'm amazed. Good breakfast but not to big place. Few people waiting for the table. Go early! Excellent hotel, nice location, and very friendly staff! Bed comfortable, bath is nice! I love it

Short: Eight Hotel Portofino has everything: thoughtfully appointed rooms, attentive staff, and five-star breakfast and “room service.” Make sure to get an order of foccacia and the roast beef salad to have a lovely dinner in the secluded, magical garden upstairs. Long: ***this is an outstanding hotel, please read whole review***Our driver mistakenly took up to Eight Hotel Parraggi, so I was dismayed when Eight Hotel Portofino not on the water. (There is a shuttle that will take you to beach at Parraggi from the lobby). I was foolish to be disappointed. Our room had a lovely private balcony with comfortable, stylish furniture. So lovely to wake up and walk out to sunshine, birds singing, and the smell of the sea and jasmine. Linda, Sabina, and Andre (and everyone of the staff) took great care of us. The service was perfect: warm and professional. The hotel is just down the hill from trail to San Fruttuoso. The trail entrance is deceptive; it looks like a scrap heap, but you can walk towards San Fruttuoso for outstanding sea views. Also on the same street as Hotel Eight are a gelateria , fruit seller, focaccia and pastry place, a lovely church, and many shops. All are a 5-6 minute walk between Eight Hotel and piazzetta. Highly, recommend. We will be returning. The foccacia an trifle pesto are outstanding. Seriously, the foccacia is light, flaky, cheesy ; it is unlike any foccacia I have ever tasted. Better. It tastes like it feels to be in Portofino on a full-moon weekend. Also, I only practiced Italian for eight weeks before visiting; the staff at front desk very encouraging and helpful.

What an outstanding property! From the minute you check in to the time you check out you feel like family. This hotel is beautifully updated with a living room chic vibe. I stayed at the hotel in Portofino but went to the beach daily. The hotel on the beach is also an absolutely lovely updated property. I cannot rave enough about the outstanding hospitality and the entire culture of the Hotel in general. Christian the manager went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect. It was extremely sad to leave this beautiful gem of a hotel and I cannot wait to visit next summer! If you’re thinking of booking book now it’s absolutely outstanding! 10/10
