Portofino

A century-old clifftop villa once built as used as a summer home has been reimagined into a rare private retreat, with Villa Beatrice, the first private villa in Belmond’s portfolio, now available for exclusive use.

A new Belmond rail journey will connect Paris with its Tuscany farm estate from May 2025 aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient Express.

Belmond has embarked on the latest phase of its multi-year renovation of Portofino’s iconic hotel, Splendido, with the project expected to be complete by June next year.

Launching in June 2024, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe will travel to the Ligurian coast for the very first time in its four-decade history, connecting the two destinations of Paris and Portofino.

Belmond Splendido Mare, in the centre of Portofino, Italy, will undergo a major renovation and reopen in June 2020, Belmond has announced. The 14-room guest house is located near the Belmond Hotel Splendido, which overlooks the bay.
