Set on Portovenere's seafront, this hotel features a terrace overlooking the small port and Palmaria Island. Set in a 17th-century monastery, it is a few steps from the town centre.

Awesome location and lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble.
Affittacamere La Darsena is set in a renovated tower house in the Unesco Site of Portovenere. It offers sea-view rooms with satellite flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi in public areas.
Portovenere was small and not overcrowded. We visited Cinque terra with lots of people. We ate out in different restaurants every night. All exceptionally good. We were looking for a relaxing holiday. It was ideal.

I LOVE Portovenere.
I LOVE Portovenere. This was my second time there - I visited Cinque Terre in 2010, and arrived in Portovenere on the ferry. After only an hour, I fell in love. When my husband and I planned our trip this year, I knew I wanted to share this special place with him. He now loves it as much as I do. It has all the beauty, culture, and history of Cinque Terre, with more open waterfront and many fewer tourists. It is relaxed and out-of-the-way and inviting. We had three wonderful dinners, all featuring local seafood. All the restaurants have outdoor seating and many are dog-friendly. The Monday morning market was a fun surprise. It is easy to get to Cinque Terre on the ferry, and to La Spezia by bus or taxi, and from there you can catch the train to Cinque Terre and other sites up and down the coast. There is plenty to see and do in town - the church and castle, the beach, the wharf, the shops, classes in making your own pesto, and much more we didn't have time to discover. I would go back tomorrow if I could!

My initial review was mistakenly for a previous B.Com property in Rumaggiore. Apologies. Staying in too many B.Coms ! All in a sequence.
La Calata was the best we stayed in all trip. Really excellent. Friendly caring host. Met us in the street to help get the right door. Fantastic place. Lovely views. We’d stay again - any day. The facilities and comfort couldn’t be beaten.

It's in a beautiful setting but, to visit Cinque Terre, you'd be better off somewhere like Levanto or in one of the villages inland, which are very quiet but lovely (and a quarter of the cost!) Even in late September and some awful weather, Porto Venere is packed with tourists and people from cruise ships so it's harder to enjoy it.

The Grand Hotel did not disappoint.
The Grand Hotel did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in you feel genuinely welcomed, wonderful staff, nothing is ever a problem. The view from our room was delightful, looking across the water to the beautiful old buildings of Portovenere. The breakfast was incredible, so many choices. The terrace was a lovely area to spend time for a drink as you take in some sun and the view or for dinner under the stars. We stayed 4 days and I was not ready to leave, highly recommend.

Place is a nice resort with views over looking island and La Spezia bay. Except at the departure port for Cinque Terre boat, there are not too much crowd.
Nice ruins of a castle overlooking the sea, old Church and a Grotto.
Fine restaurant & bars.
Easy to park if you pay
You can relax there after hectic / epic day visit in the Cinque Terre!
Nice beach on the Island
the hotel was moderate in breakfast services but lovely overall, the staff was very accommodating and the rooms overall were very nice, but being Americans and coming from the South we are a bit spoiled with A/C's and not having an A/C the moment the temperature exceeded 84 degrees was a bit upsetting for my children we survived. and we honestly loved Portovenere I'd say more than the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas.
This unit is in a perfect location for a very easy walk down to portovenere. We had a designated parking spot for our car which is very difficult to find in the area. It was clean and comfortable. And our hosts made us an excellent breakfast each morning that we had on the shared deck looking out at the sea. The host speaks a few different languages and was very easy to communicate with.
Truly wonderful staff. We can't put enough stars in our review for Paola and Giovanni....they made our stay even though the hotel and location are phenomenal as well. So much to see here and not very "touristy" at all during the week. Take their recommendations as the know the best things to do. Very easy to hop a taxi to La Spezia and go to the Cinque Terre for the day. Grazie Mille.
The host was incredible nice and she went above and beyond to accomodate our arrival. The room was clean and spacious as well as was the bathroom. There was a big public parking only 3 mim walking to the room and the location was fantastic, only 15 mim driving to the city center of Portovenere. I highly recommend About Italy for your next stay, we would for sure stay again.
This is our 3rd visit.
Lovely hotel with a perfect location on the harbour. It has a lovely pool with plenty of seating around it.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
The hotel is pristine.
Lots of cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk serving good food.
Good bus route, especially for Porto Venere.
The hotel had a gorgeous view of the town. Martina was a wonderful host and helped us with dinner recommendations and booking a taxi for our departure. Breakfast on the patio was lovely. Rooms were comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this little gem.
Everything was superlative! The panoramic view from the hotel is stunningly beautiful. The room and the bathroom are very clean, comfortable and the air conditioning worked perfectly. A wonderful place to spend your stay in Portovenere. We will definitely be back!
Portovenere is a great location to visit the Cinque Terre. The house was clean and our host was very proactive in communication. In our opinion a nice place to stay with wonderful views. The private parking was a real bonus.
The staff were kind and helpful. The swimming pool was great. The breakfast was really good. It was also convenient to have a good restaurant at the hotel as there are not many good ones in a walking distance.
Silvano was incredibly welcoming, the breakfast was a decadent array of delicious food, and the view was gorgeous. The room couldn't have been cleaner. It made our visit to Portovenere all the more special.
+Location
Located in the main square of Porto Venere far enough from the crowd of the marina
+Parking
There is 4 parking space, 5 minutes walk from the hotel, available for an extra fee (10€ a day)
The location is beautiful. It’s so peaceful and quiet and a nice getaway from the business of Portovenere. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was renovated and very nice.
Amazing view, nice amenities in the apartment, great location in Portovenere, which we enjoyed more than any of the Cinque Terre cities. The host was very gracious and kind.
