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

Auf der engen, stark befahreren Küstenstraße nach Portofino liegt dieser Strand mit Restaurant. Parkplätze gibt es ausreichend, wenn auch zu unverschämten Preisen. Der Service ist 1a, das Essen ok, das Meer an dieser Stelle wunderbar. Ein schmaler Steg führt ins Wasser. sehr erholsam.

Part of the Eight Hotels group of boutique hotels. We wanted to stay 2 nights at the sister hotel in Portofino in the next bay (which was fine) but could only stay one night. Paraggi has a great location on the beach but dinner was bland and expensive. Our room had a state of the art B& O television but... More

The hotel, while lovely with a great view, was overshadowed by the pushy restraunt guy, trying to sell us food we didn't want and overcharging us at every opportunity. I think 30 Euro for 2 cups of coffee is a little steep. OUr lunch in which we had a bottle of wine, 2 pastas and a shared salad was $122... More

As soon as we turned into the Bay of Paraggi on our way to Portofino, I knew I wanted to stay there. Fortunately, we couldn't park our car in Portofino and were sent back to Paraggi to Park'n'ride back to Portofino. Out of curiostity I went into the hotel and asked if they had a room available, the cost and... More
