My husband and I have just stayed here for a week. The hotel was absolutely lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and well looked after. The hotel is very small, just the rooms and a lobby with a restaurant next to the beach. The beach is extremely small with closely placed sun loungers but you... More

Although this hotel is close to Portofino in Paraggi, it is still too far to comfortably walk so really not worth the price. It would have made more sense to stay in Santa Margharita if you have to drive to Portofino anyway. There are a lot more reasonably priced options there. The room was a shoebox. We were paying 440...

This is an ideal place for those who want to be in easy striking distance between Portofino and Santa Margherita. The hotel reminded us of an upscale version of the "W" hotel chain in the U. S. - high tech/fashionable. Spectacular location with beach access that is private from others on the same beach. I agree that the rooms are... More

We were a family of 5, we stayed for 7 nights, the location was absolutely stunning, both our rooms overlooked the bay, with one exception the staff were fantastic and could'nt do enough for us, the decor throughout was lovely and the breakfasts were great. Our only real gripes was the size of the de-luxe room, we were warned on... More

This chic little hotel had the perfect location. We were within walking distance of Portofino and also a cool little restaurant at the waterfront called Cape Nord, American Bar. The decor was lovely and room service breakfasts were delicious. Alessandra from the front desk was warm and welcoming. She also helped us with train schedules and reservations for the next... More

After travelling around Italy for two weeks it was wonderful to stay for three nights at Hotel 8 Paraggi. We were warmly greeted by Daniele at concierge who was very helpful and accommodating. Drinks from Luca were always with a smile and a laugh and we received wonderful service from the restaurant and enjoyed an ever changing menu. We stayed... More

The room we stayed in was very small but as we were there for a wedding in August we didn't plan on spending much time in the room anyway. But for EUR400/night it was tiny. We had friends staying at a variety of the other hotels in Santa Margherita and everyone of them regretted not staying at the Eight Hotel... More

We stayed at Hotel Eight Paraggi for 3 nights September 2011. We were excited about staying in luxury in well known Portofino and while we read the poor reviews on the hotel we still decided to go. The hotel itself is lovely. Beautifully situated on the beach not far from Portofino Bay. The shuttle bus to and from Portofino is... More

if you like designer boutique hotels, then this is the place for you near Portofino. It is around 1km from Portofino in a small village and you could easily drive past without noticing. The hotel is set right on the water and we had a rooftop suite with windows and terrace overlooking the bay. While I have not seen the... More
