This is the first class property. And also first class staff. My wife and I bought a bottle of wine at dinner. By the end of dinner, we thought that we drank three bottles of wine. The reason why is because every time we took a sip or two the waiter would come and refill our glasses. Or I should say waiters. He was there so many times and was so attentive that we literally thought we drink three bottles of wine. It was a very beautiful experience. I was impressed with the property and the people.

It is impossible to truly convey the incredible experience we had at this hotel. The room was one of the most beautiful we have seen in over 40 years of traveling. The old world elegance, combined with modern amenities was unbeatable. The history and treasures of the hotel are significant, and a joy for those who value such things. We were there for five days, and decided our last day there just to stay at the hotel and enjoy the absolutely stunning gardens and pool/seaside area. There was not a single staff member in this hotel who was nos not giving 1000%, and it showed. The terraces are magnificent. Breakfast selections were vast, and they offer both casual terrace dining for a light meal, or full on dinner. Beautiful views in every direction. We came in by train and if you have luggage, we suggest the very short taxi ride. You can walk it, but it’s lots of (gorgeous) steps. If you have a chance to stay here, don’t miss this gem! Highest rating we can bestow any property!!!

This is a beautiful hotel with a lovely pool area right on the water. The views are stunning. Our biggest issue was with the beds. They are super hard/firm and incredibly uncomfortable. I would recommend testing the comfort of the bed before accepting a particular room.

Faultless experience! This beautiful hotel has the best views of Santa Margherita and Portfino. Our suite with balcony and sea views was spacious and beautifully decorated with 2 bathrooms and a separate sitting room. The staff were excellent and breakfast on the terrace was stunning. For 4 days in May 2025 it felt like a fairytale in a palace.

The staff is first class. Everyone is at the same "nice" level. The room was a great size in every sense. Quiet, as well. The amenities were located well and I used the pool, gym, beach, restuarant, the bar (again the bar). As per the food served, the breakfast was filled with very good meats, cheeses, pastries, different omelettes, bread, yogurt, and much more. There is a lot more compliment the Imperiale Palace, so it goes without saying...I will be back!
