This hotel has an extraordinary view and beautiful facilities. Our room was beautiful and exceptionally large, with a walk in closet, huge bathroom and large terrace (A5). The top floor is a bar that they can readily adapt to wind, rain, and temperature changes. The bar staff are great. The view is incredible. The hotel is a few blocks from the shops and restaurants on the two bays. It's easily accessible from the hotel elevator that takes you to street level. We stayed here and visited Portofino one day and Cinque Terre another day. It's a perfect location. It's not as crowded and the hotel is like a sanctuary, with extraordinary views. We ate at their restaurant, Portobello, which isn't on their site, but down on The Bay of Silence. I'd highly recommend it.
