About

An elegant, 19th-century villa, lush gardens, a private beach, and a spectacular view across the bay, these are just some of the reasons to choose Imperiale Palace Hotel. Once the residence of a noble family, this impressive villa has now been turned into a luxury hotel. It has a panoramic location in Santa Margherita Ligure, 3.1 mi from Portofino and 1.9 mi from Rapallo. Your room comes with air conditioning and Satellite TV, and some have a beautiful sea view. Throughout the summer you can relax on the private beach or at the sea-water pool with sunbathing terrace. You will also find a fitness center, which includes a Turkish bath and a massage room. The Imperiale Palace features modern conference facilities with a maximum capacity of 200. The restaurant with sea-view terrace provides a special setting for a candlelit meal. In summer, lunch is served on the beach in the form of a rich buffet of local specialties and fresh fish.

    Pros +

    • This hotel is stunningly beautiful. The outdoor spaces are perfectly manicured, the restaurants and halls are gorgeous. The location is perfect. The pool and seaside area is just as pictured and are perfect.
    • Location was great and easy to access and park, sea views were gorgeous, they accommodated us with adjoining rooms with my father. Fantastic breakfast buffet and staff. Beautiful pool and sea access. Everything.
    • Elegant hotel with a large, beautifully maintained garden and stunning views. The staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional. The beach club and pool area were superb, making our stay truly relaxing and memorable.

    Cons -

    • The staff have no customer service skills at all. They lost our business at every meal as we preferred to leave the hotel and eat elsewhere than deal with the service (non-existent) at the hotel. The only staff that were attentive were the lifeguards.
    • The breakfast was just ok. see comments above.
    • Elevator keeps failing needs new onesNoises early morning at the back of the hotelBeach club needs an elevator to the hotel

    The location, view, style, staff of this hotel is beyond amazing! I wish I could remember the name of the precious young lady who checked us in as she was the highlight of our stay. She was beyond a 5-star employee! VERY professional, sweet, charming, efficient, pleasant and helpful! The room was exquisite! Views, breathtaking! The breakfast (which were the only meals we ate), was ok. Nothing to write home about. The staff, inattentive. I picked up on those that had been to breakfast seemingly like several times, we treated very well. We only went 3 times. Food was decent, nothing spectacular.

    The breakfast was just ok. see comments above.

    breakfast

    Hotel controls room temperature as everyone gets air conditioning, heat or just a fan. Your control is just on or off with 3 fan speeds. Our room was very hot and we could not get air conditioning as rooms on the other side of the building were cooler.

    Beautiful historic property with an amazing pool and swim area amongst the rocks. We loved it. Amazing buffet breakfast as well!

    10CarminePosted on: 10-15-2024

    Spectacular views and rooms. Restaurant was great. Staff was excellent.

    We were caught at the beginning of a family buy out of the hotel so was hard for those of us not part of the event to use the facilities. Luckily only overlapping one day.

    Beautiful palace with beautiful view and friendly staff.

    A beautiful, elegant hotel with stunning decor, lovely views and a superb beach club and pool area. The large gardens are lush and perfectly maintained. Breakfast was varied and fantastic. Our room was huge with a lovely big bathroom. The staff were very welcoming and very helpful. I'd highly recommend this hotel it really is exceptional.

    Location, parking, staff and cleanliness.

    10MichaelPosted on: 9-25-2024

    A stunning property from beginning to end. Beautiful building, incredible grounds, comfortable room and wonderful staff. I wish we could have stayed longer.

    No complaints. A dedicated steamer in the room would have been great.

    10stevenPosted on: 9-24-2024

    breakfast and dinners fantastic. good location, but a bit of uphill walk from town. if older or steep difficult, you would need transport to town.

    initial room small with poor view. paid more for higher and larger room which was quite good.

    10TaniaPosted on: 9-23-2024

    Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The level of service was impeccable, with the team always available, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible.A special shoutout goes to Daniel and Primma, who truly stood out. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made every dining experience a pleasure. They were both simply amazing!The facilities, comfort, and atmosphere exceeded all our expectations. We left feeling relaxed and pampered, and we can’t wait to come back for another stay. Highly recommended!

    10RachaelPosted on: 9-17-2024

    The facilities were fantastic and breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly.

    It was our honeymoon and it wasn't acknowledged at all, was a bit disappointing as all our other hotels had at least written us a little note saying happy honeymoon

    10JohnPosted on: 9-6-2024

    Everything was wonderful! Beautiful building, building facilities, friendly staff in abundance. Stunning!

    Weird one but the omelette chef was incredibly rude and was seemingly taking his frustrations out on the guests (heard a few people say similar things).

    9AquaPosted on: 8-23-2024

    What is not to like ? Everything about this hotel is beautiful . From breakfast to view to location to dinner to the beach club . Superb Very helpful staff .

    Coffee machine in room depends on availability . But we got one after day two which was nice .

    Disappointing

    This Hotel is NOT in Portofino. When you book place shows only Postal code not name of town.
