Eight Hotel Portofino
And whether your tastes run to the old-fashioned or the up-to-date, it’s hard to do much better than the Eight Hotel Portofino — here the building’s Ligurian architecture has been preserved, the interiors renovated in a style that’s clean and contemporary, yet harmonizes with the local flavor, blending soft seaside colors and traditional materials like slate with modern furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities.
Guest rooms are sophisticated, with hardwood floors and minimal color schemes of white and yellow. LCD satellite televisions are standard, as is high-speed internet access, by no means universal throughout Italy’s small hotels. Suites add sitting rooms and, in some cases, Turkish baths.
Room service features a light menu available 24 hours per day, and the hotel’s bar is open around the clock as well. There’s no restaurant, but the Eight’s location just off Portofino’s central piazzetta means a wealth of options are at your feet. Here it’s possible to escape not just from the everyday, but from the crowds that descend upon many of the coast’s bigger resort towns — reminders of Portofino’s heritage as an ancient seafaring village still remain at every turn.
Please note: Eight Hotel Portofino is open seasonally, April thru October.

Service was great, very attentive relaxed and chatty, made us feel very comfortable and not stuffy. Portofino can be a bit stuck up, but we found the reception and all the staff we met a delight to chat with and very helpful.
Our initial start with a glass of prosecco and small sandwiches was a nice touch. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful when it came to helping us with train station schedules. The breakfast buffet and wait person was very good.
We loved the location of this hotel, it is central in Portofino and as Portofino is such an exclusive, small place and taxis to get into it are expensive this was essential. We could walk onto the port in 3 minutes.
Spacious Rooms. Good Breakfast.
