The Villa

A villa of your own, with a legendary hotel just up the path.

The Splendido has watched over Portofino from its hillside for a century, and Villa Beatrice sits within its gardens: a private house among terraces of jasmine and cypress, with the little harbour glinting far below.

Taken in exclusive use, the villa is yours, its rooms, its pool, its view, while the Splendido’s kitchens, spa and staff remain a few steps away, on call whenever you want them.

01 Accommodation

A private house, with the Splendido’s service behind it.

Villa Beatrice has its own bedrooms, living rooms and a pool set into the terraced gardens, decorated in the Splendido’s timeless Riviera style, all facing the bay.

Taken exclusively, the house is yours; the hotel’s team, kitchens and spa are a garden path away.

03 Experiences

Portofino below, and the Ligurian coast beyond.

The harbour is a stroll or a shuttle down the hill, its piazzetta and boutiques best in the evening. A boat opens the coast: San Fruttuoso’s abbey, the Cinque Terre, swimming coves reached no other way.

Walks lead through the headland park; your designer sets the boat days and the harbour dinners.

04 Wellness

The Splendido spa, and a pool over the bay.

The hotel’s spa and the villa’s own pool cover the days: treatments and a gym at the Splendido, and lengths on your terrace with the whole bay below.

Yoga in the gardens and the coastal walks complete it.

05 Service

Belmond service, and one designer over the whole stay.

The Splendido’s team, among the most storied in Italy, extends to the villa: butlers, waiters and concierges who have kept Portofino’s secrets for generations.

Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the villa, times the boats and stays one call away throughout.

06 Setting

Portofino: the Riviera’s most painted harbour.

The little fishing village turned glamour icon still curls around its perfect harbour, pastel houses, yachts, a headland of pine and olive, unchanged in its essentials for a century.

Villa Beatrice gives you the best seat above it, with the hotel that made it famous at your back.

The Satopia Advantage™

You choose the place.
We'll do all the planning.

What we secure

The whole villa, with the Splendido’s team behind it, matched to your party and the season. The access a direct booking rarely reaches.

A few things worth knowing.

Drawn from recent guests.

Arrive by the coastal path, not the road

Time your approach so you can walk the promenade towards Portofino rather than driving straight in. Take the road on the way there and save the Passeggiata dei Baci for your return, pausing at Paraggi beach along the route. Allow extra time here, as the path itself becomes part of the stay.

The cliffside view is the real draw

Prioritise time simply looking out from the villa’s position on the ocean front cliff, as this is what people remember most about being here. The setting on Punta Cajega, with its stone, wind and light, rewards unhurried mornings or evenings on the terrace. Keep plans loose so you can just sit with the view.

Extend your stay

Want to stay a little longer?
We'll plan that too.

Liguria and the northwest open from here. A few we would pair the villa with, each arranged as one seamless experience.
