We stayed in this hotel three times, in the low season which is better because it's not crowded. The location is wonderful, you're in the best place in town. They gave us a suite overlooking the harbour and the town, you must get one if you stay in this hotel because the view is unique. The room was spacious, but... more

We loved our stay at the Grand Hotel Portovenere! Beautiful view that we woke up to each morning, breakfast was wonderful, staff was very accommodating – making recommendations and reservations for us, mailing postcards, and very friendly. The little town was a wonderful place to stay and convenient to take the ferry to the various cities of Cinque Terre. I... more

OK, IF you are the type that demands 5-star pampered luxury in order to enjoy yourself, do everyone (including yourself) a favor and don't even think about Cinque Terre and especially Portovenere. But if you appreciate and value great scenery outside your window ... if you enjoy exploring and finding points of interest and wonder on your own ... If... more

We came across an article about Portovenere while researching Cinque Terre, and decided that we'd like to stay in the town. We chose the Grand Hotel based on the location, and we were totally happy with our decision. We splurged on a seaview room and we were not disappointed. Watching the morning sun kiss the mutli-colored buildings along the harbor... more

We spent 5 nights at the Grand Hotel for our wedding and honeymoon in September 2008 and were very pleased!! Our room was sea view with balcony, and wow what a balcony it was. Our view of Portovenere was just out of this world. The room itself was your average room, nothing particularly special, but the balcony was very spacious.... more

We recently got married in Portovenere and stayed in the Grande for three nights. We had a suite on the second floor, room 301 which is located on the corner of the building so both windows opened up and looked out across both sides of the docks (french doors but no balcony). We found the Suite expensive but did not... more

Hotel is actually former monastery and been partly build 800 years ago. It has four stars based on strict Italian categories. Location is excellent since if you are not travelling by car (parking 30e/night) local busses (lines P and 11 from La Spezia) and boats arrive not more than 25 meters away. Hotel offers variety of different rooms including our... more
