What a great place to stay! Your staff is wonderful and we will be back. The rooms are clean and modern. We didn't use any of the pool or fitness center we were busy everywhere else though. There are a lot of stairs. The staff was so kind to accommodate us by giving us a room on a lower floor.... More

Catalina has always been one of our favorite "getaways" both as a family and now as "empty nesters." What a pleasant surprise to find the Hotel Villa Portofino just as accommodating for the one night anniversary celebration booking as it was when we booked the ocean view large family suite years ago. We had a courtyard room which was absolutely... More

Most of us that travel occasionally for special occasions look for one thing in a hotel. We want it to be slightly more luxurious and or decorated a little better then our own home at a reasonable price. Many hotels over look this necessity to most travelers.

We studied hotels for our return trip to Catalina. We stayed at the Portofino. I am so glad we did. We had a grand time, for a decent price. It was conveniently located. We had a very friendly sea gull at our railing. Know this will be our choice next time also.

The rooms were okay, a little outdated, but the bed was comfortable, the water pressure was good, and I liked having a little vanity to sit down at while getting ready. They have... More

We had a girl's getaway here, and loved every single minute of our stay. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The beach is out the front door, and we took beach chairs and read by the sea. The location is perfect! We walked to the movies at night (loved Gone With The Wind) and hiked during the day.... More

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Avalon. The style of the hotel and the neighborhood remind me of Europe. The view of the bay from the deck is heavenly. Just a short walk to anywhere you want to go in Avalon. Continental Breakfast is provided as well as a holding area for your luggage before check-in time... More

The staff at Villa Portofino are so incredibly warm and welcoming. We brought our 9 month old with us on our trip, and John, the owner, treated her like she was his own child. He went out of his way to make sure she had a comfortable place to sleep and spent time giggling with her. He even loaned out... More
