Stella Maris Resort is located at Punta Chiappa, one of the most striking gateways to the Portofino Park, cut off from ordinary road access: it cannot be reached by car, only by boat, by water taxi from the port of Camogli, or on foot along a scenic path starting from San Rocco, with about a 40-minute walk through Mediterranean scrub and cliffs overlooking the sea.
The centre of Camogli, with its railway station, is about 2.9 km away, while Recco and its station are about 4.2 km away. Genoa-Sestri Airport is 24 km away, a useful connection for those arriving by car or taxi as far as San Rocco before continuing on foot or by boat. Within a few minutes’ walk, there are two traditional restaurants, Do Spadin at about 500 metres and Del Mulino at about 600 metres, ideal for trying seafood dishes and Ligurian cuisine without straying far from the property.
The area is especially suited to those seeking sea and hiking: San Fruttuoso beach and the eponymous Benedictine abbey are about 2.4 km away, reachable by boat or via a coastal path, while Camogli beach is 2.8 km away. In summer, private boat trips and snorkelling outings organised by staff are common; in winter, the path to San Rocco offers quieter, scenic walks instead. For those wanting to explore further, Castello Brown in Portofino is about 5 km away, and the village of Camogli, with its colourful seafront, remains an ideal base for excursions to the Cinque Terre.
Reviews particularly praise the location, rated 8.8, and the comfort of the sea-view rooms, appreciated with 8.1. Cleanliness and free WiFi also score well, while the value for money, at 7.1, is the lowest score: likely linked to the property’s secluded nature and boat-only access.
Stella Maris Resort cannot be reached by car: you arrive by boat or water taxi from the port of Camogli, or on foot along a scenic path from San Rocco, with about a 40-minute walk.
