Eight Hotel Paraggi

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience at Eight Hotel Paraggi. From the moment we arrived, the staff were nothing short of extraordinary. Linda, in particular, was absolutely exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely caring. When we faced unexpected travel issues, the team went above and beyond — helping us with luggage storage, assisting with logistics, and even taking us personally to the police station. Their kindness and attention to detail were unlike anything we’ve experienced elsewhere. The accommodation itself is peaceful and elegant, tucked away in its own private cove, offering the perfect combination of tranquility and luxury. The restaurant is outstanding — one of the very best meals we’ve had anywhere in Italy. Before our stay, we had read some mixed reviews and were a little uncertain, but we can confidently say they do not reflect the true quality of this hotel. Everything about Eight Hotel Paraggi exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the entire team for their warmth and care, and we’re already planning our return next year. If you’re reading this and wondering whether to book — don’t hesitate. This place is a gem.

This was a fabulous stay! The private beach is stunning and unlike anything you’ll find in the Portofino area. The staff was amazing and always so friendly. We loved the private shuttle, the free breakfast, and that the cleaners came multiple times throughout the day! We traveled here with our baby and everything was extremely accommodating. 10/10 recommend this amazing hotel!

Amazing service, attentive staff, very dog friendly. Private beach club with really great staff. To shed some light in 1star reviews I read: Yes, rooms are relatively small, BUT it is Paraggi - a tiny town with limited available space. If you want to be at the beach, there are very few alternatives :-)

I was very disappointed by the fact I was scammed by the hotel staff/ taxi company with regards to the taxi fare going back to the airport. On the way in , we paid 120 euros from the airport ; when I ordered the taxi out through reception, they wanted me to pay 190 euros. After I protested it was reduced to 180 euros which is 50% more than I paid arriving , bearing in mind that for neither taxi rides the meter was on. Shocking way to treat guests paying 750 euros a night.

Location is great - we stayed in the best suite of the hotel - view is fantastic - the Airconditioning of the room too cold and un adjustable- the jacuzzi was dirty including the cushions around it - the rate is too high compared to the service given Breakfast was great . This is definitely not a five star hotel! Something is wrong with the rating . We are now in a 5 star hotel what a difference in service.

Had a fabulous experience at this property. The weather forecast was horrible - sideways rain for 2 days. We were too late to cancel and I'm glad we didn't ultimately. Amanda the reservations manager upgraded our room - a nice gesture given we were not going to be spending more time there as opposed to being out touring around. The hotel is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The food and drinks in the restaurant were excellent and the service there we received from Christiano was top notch. WE used the free shuttle to and from Portofino regularly. My only qualm is that they don't offer a similar service to Santa Margherita - a similar distance away - and as a result the taxi service took 30 minutes of waiting and cost a staggering 50 euros each way for a very short trip. But c'est la vie.

I found this hotel charming and beautiful. My family and I enjoyed the staff, breakfast, and the beach. A wonderful place.

We arrived with high expectations and were not disappointed. Beautiful boutique hotel in a stunning location. We had the most wonderful holiday and thank all the staff for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. This is a boutique hotel so the rooms are not huge but our deluxe room was very comfortable with a large terrace overlooking Pariggi Bay. I still hold the memory of my morning coffee sat on thst terrace overlooking the view. Two big bonuses are included..a bed on the beach with towels (beds are at premium cost at establishments either side of the hotel) and a shuttle service to Portofino during the day until 10:30 at night. The beach is sandy and lovely for swimming. We ate a couple of times in the restaurant and enjoyed the attentive service and food. Also the receptionists were happy to recommend restaurants nearby in Portofino which were excellent to. Santa Margherita is also not far away by local bus which stops virtually outside the hotel. |

If the staff paid attention , this place would be fabulous. However for $1000 per night you'd expect the manager to call if you had a problem. Recently spent two nights there, and if I was looking for a sauna , this place is perfect . I called or went to the front desk no fewer than 8 times and was given an excuse each time. Upon checkout , and after a sleepless night, I left my info with the front desk. A Motel 6 manager would have returned the call.....but not in this place, they must feel as though they are too good.

This hotel has the most amazing staff. I have never been felt so at home in any hotel anywhere in the world. They greet you with a smile and attend to your every need. They are genuinely nice and try their best to make your stay an amazing experience. The location is also wonderful.
