Eight HotelsSecluded cove villa
The property runs like a private seaside home, where days center on the emerald cove and serviced beach club.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The twelve rooms are exquisitely appointed, offering a refined and welcoming atmosphere.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Paraggi's sandy cove is framed by rocky cliffs, and Portofino harbour is five minutes away by shuttle.
The rooms
Canopied beds keep the bedrooms airy, and select suites open onto sea-facing decks with private heated Jacuzzis.
The Eight Restaurant
Tables sit on the beach veranda overlooking the bay. Dinner brings Ligurian seafood and fresh sushi.
How it began
The house was built around 1900 as a private coastal villa, perched directly over the water of the inlet.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
