If you decide to stay in Portofino, this is perhaps your best choice. Tucked away on a quiet backstreet with no views of the harbor, the San Giorgio offers rooms that are immaculate, comfortable, and soothingly designed with canopy beds, pastel walls, and ultramodern bathrooms. Two small 19th-century town houses were joined to form the hotel, making the hallways seem like a labyrinth, but the level of service is high and the peaceful location -- there's a secluded garden at the back -- is a definite plus.
