palmaria suite -the duck nest

Around the third-floor corner of Via Palmaria 9, the Duck Nest is a self-contained suite with a terrace and balcony framing the wooded hillside above Portofino's harbour — a view most hotels in the village charge considerably more to deliver.

The kitchen runs full-sized: oven, stovetop, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer make this a practical base for stays longer than a weekend. Tile and marble floors, a sofa bed alongside the main sleeping area, and a dining table seat the suite firmly in family-apartment territory rather than standard hotel room.

Portofino village sits a short walk downhill, with its waterfront trattorias and the ferry dock for day trips to Santa Margherita and the Cinque Terre. Contactless check-in removes any coordination stress on arrival days.
