We arrived into Portovenere on 11th May at about 6pm on a glorious day having ridden our motorbikes across country from Bologna. We happened to park-up outside the Grand Hotel and we went straight in and enquired about availability for that night. Two en-suite double rooms were quickly confirmed at €80 B&B by the very friendly hotel receptionist who spoke... More

My wife and I stayed here from May 6 - May 8, 2012 and are still working our way through Italy. Of all the places we have stayed, this was the most disappointing. After a 9 hour flight and a 3 hour car ride, we were excited to get to Portovenere. It was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we were greeted by... More

What saves this hotel is the view from the window. Portovenere is a spectacular village and the hotel has full advantage of its beauty with the views from the room BUT the hotel was shabby, my room was cramped but clean. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Wifi costs a lot and it is difficult to stay connected, gave up... More

A beautiful hotel with an amazing view from your balcony. The staff were accommodating and i received a discount too. I did not eat dinner at the hotel as there were so many cafes to explore but breakfast was fine. A lovely experience.

I find it very difficult to write this review, as I have conflicting views on the entire subject. The location of the hotel could not have been better! My husband and I stayed in a room with a balcony and sea-view and the view was all that was promised and more. Absolutely spectacular! The staff at breakfast and especially at... More

It was a very nice hotel with a superb location with view over the harbour. Ok standard. Friendly and good service minded staff. Breakfast was a disappointment, very small sample.

We have asked for and we were given a room with a veranda facing the harbor and the charming village of Portovenere. The room was simply furnished, perhaps not very much a 4 star hotel room, but clean and comfortable, with a veranda twice the size of the room, with an unforgettable view of the harbor!!! The breakfast was nice... More

We have been regular visitors to the Grand for the past 11 years and it is a home away from home for us. We love the staff and know most of them by first names. The staff are welcoming, the service is great, the food is excellent and we can highly recommend the views. Portovenere is a jewel and needs... More
