Walks & Nature
The Splendido is on the promontory of Portofino, a regional park of great natural beauty, and a mecca for walkers, hikers, and picnickers. No roads, only walking paths, leading through olive groves, gardens, vineyards, up into the shady forest with pines overhead, chestnuts underfoot and ferns all around. They lead high above the see along steep slopes that dive cleanly into the deep Ligurian Sea, and may guide you to a monastery established in the 10th century, hidden in the tranquil cove, accessible only by boat or on foot.

The Hotel's new motor boat, Chris-Craft Corsair 36, can accommodate up to 6/8 persons and is at guests' disposal for excursions into the Gulf of Tigullio. It offers unprecedented interior space and luxury for a boat of this type.
