Portofino House

The location was excellent for hiking, restaurants and market. Beautiful view from property with workout equipment outside. Hostess (owner) , very friendly and spoke descent English. Washing machine was very handy.

Knew we would be sore from strenuous hiking and was looking forward to the hot tub/jaccuzi, which was not in service because the owner shut it down prematurely. She made a feeble attempt to turn it on but turned it off again before it started to get warm. Very disappointing. That's why we booked this place for the hot tub . The breakfast was not typical of a free Italian breakfast,which always includes cappuccino machine, fresh brioches/cornettas,fruit,cold cuts,etc. This breakfast was a do it yourself prepackaged budget affair. It was adequate,but we found ourselves going down to the barrista for fresh cappuccinos and brioche every morning.

It is a clean and of adaequately sized studio. We found it interesting how compact you can fit a toilet/shower and also the micro-kitchen. But all in all it was comfortable, clean and fitted our needs. All the food for breakfast was on spot on our arrival. But I find it worth mentioning, that you do not get breakfast in terms of a B&B but you will be provided with a brakfast starter kit in the studio. Also worth mentioning is the fact, that you do not have a table IN the studio but outside the door, halfway covered by the balcony of the owner, which is fine while the weather is nice (which it usually is in that region in summer). Also the view is really nice from outside the studio.
