Palmaria Restaurant Portovenere In Portovenere

The hotel's location is perfect, you can reach the center of Porto Venere with a 10-minute walk. Room facing the sea with a large panoramic window and a balcony with chairs and a table. Unfortunately, however, the curtains on the windows were thin and at dawn we woke up with the sun inside the room, impossible to continue resting. They put earplugs among the gadgets in the room but not the mask... a questionable choice given that the curtains are almost useless. Then in the room there was an unpleasant smell that came up from the toilet and drains. Let's get to breakfast: abundant but not adequate for a 4-star hotel, but really annoying, we started at 9.30, the time when breakfast was served was by 10, at 10.05 they started to take away the buffet while we were still eating... I'll start by saying that, being February, we were 2 couples in the whole room, so not exactly a crowd. After having removed everything, probably having noticed our disappointment, the waiter came to the table to tell us that, since breakfast time had ended a good 5 minutes before and they had to clear the table, after having actually already taken away the entire buffet, he asked us "do you still want something before I take it away?"... It seemed like a joke. Too bad because the night before they had been kind enough to serve us a glass of wine at the bar even though we had arrived shortly after the official closing time.

Best hotel of Porto Venere. Convenient for parking, for location to access to the ferries, restaurants etc nice breakfast and polite staff

Central location nice but dated hotel

My travel agent booked me here for a “da sola” trip. From the minute I walked in the door to my exit three days later, everything was perfect. The room was clean (housekeeping stopped by twice a day) and the bed was comfortable. I had a gorgeous view of the Bay of La Spezia and the village. The staff were friendly and helpful (especially Sarah at the front desk). Everyone I encountered spoke English (while I know some basic Italian, they made it easy for me). The location can’t be beat for catching a boat to Cinque Terre or for walking through the village to Chiesi San Pietro, Chiesi San Lorenzo, or Doria Castle. Porto Venere is a hidden gem, and this hotel was well worth the splurge.

Bellissimo ristorante all’interno del Grand Hotel di Portovenere, aperto anche al pubblico. Bellissima vista sulla baia, menù ristretto e ricercato, con almeno una alternativa vegetariana per portata (pagina dedicata sul menù). Il ristorante è anche informato AIC e quindi tutto il menù è realizzabile in versione senza glutine. I dolci sono di default senza glutine. Lo consiglio e ci tornerei volentieri.

Superbe restaurant où nous avons pu déguster de très bons plats : risotto et poisson frais pour les plats, fromage en dessert. Tout ça sur une superbe terrasse, vue sur le port de Porto Venere et ses lumières, éclairant les habitations la nuit. Dédicace spéciale au serveur qui s’est occupé de notre table avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et de sympathie !
