My wife and I have gone to Portofino and stayed at the Belmond Splendido for 15 straight years from the US. It is like our second home and we have become friends with many of the staff. We feel it’s the finest hotel in the world.

I truly appreciate the fact that in one continuous, unedited 5 minute shot you smoothly took us up the driveway, past the supercars, through the interior, and out to the pool overlooking the yacht with every step along the way looking like it came straight from a postcard. Well done indeed!

I dont think I have ever been to another hotel with that much money sitting on the driveway! The views are sensational. The service another level. That pool deck overlooking the bay with the super yachts etc ....just fabulous. I had a room like yours .... fantastic fabulous views. All you need with so much to see too. Stunning place to visit.

Passalacqua in Lake Como is a lil bit more stunning in my opinion, also Rome Cavalieri, Le Sirenuse in the Amalfi Coast, Four Seasons Firenze it's another world, Hotel Cipriani in Venice deserves a movie for himself, and a lot more, but the thing we can all agree at is that Italy is lovely, probably the most beautiful country on earth, you have it everything, Mediterranean Sea, the most beautiful Lakes, snowy alps, islands, beautiful and romantic language, fashion capital of the world, arguably the best gastronomy on earth, beautiful Fine Arts and museums, the best luxury cars, the amazing culture, passionate and welcoming people, beautiful ladies, history, etc etc.

You can't take your eyes of Portofino, the sea, the landscape and architecture merge into each other in an almost magical way. The hotel placed in the right spot. That is probably why it is so popular and a little overpriced also. But it doesn't matter. When you move around in the beautiful gardens and swim in the pool with the sea right beneath you, your daily concerns and sorrows suddenly become far less important. Nicely done! Thank you.

Hello Herr Doktor. I love the immersive quality of your videos. To let you know how special they are to me, I recently enjoyed a reverie of strolling the remote garden terraces of the Villa Carlotta: Then I got terribly muddled in my head, because I've never been to Italy, and thought "I must have dreamt it." But It was your video of Grand Hotel (Tremezzo--I'm uncertain of the name) on Lake Como. You took all of us to the upper reaches of the hotel's garden, formerly one end of the Villa's grounds. Similarly, I really enjoyed the garden paths and perches here in Portofino. Thank You.

So, I'm pretty sure it's not only Harrison's merit why Portofino is so famous

Just a lovely magical little place and at the end of the day took a boat back via Portovenere. Naturally, I enjoyed your video of Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lago Como. It's another beautiful area of which I've been, on a daytrip from Milan. Looking forward to next week's flight video. ✈

Alright. Here goes another one. Normally I watch your videos 2 or 3 times before commenting. I need to enjoy it all. So, here goes: I had dream. A dream that one day I would see the bright light at the end of this pandemic tunnel. I would be transported to the village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera. I smell the beautiful flowers. I smell the sea of Ligurian, and the aroma of Italian cuisines. From there I check myself into the Belmond Hotel Spendido vowing to never check out. But, I was awoken from my dream by Mr Luxury Travel Expert himself, who said to me, "Don't give up. Someday you will be here in Portofino. However, you will have to checkout of the Belmond Hotel. They simply won't allow you to stay forever."!!😂😂😂 Your videos are truly the highlight of my day. Thank you again.❤
