Fantastic Stay at Grand Hotel Portovenere! 🌊
I've just had the most magical 3-night stay at the Grand Hotel Portovenere, and I'm already dreaming of going back! This place is an absolute gem, set in a beautifully restored 17th-century convent right on the water's edge.
From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their kindness and passion for the region truly made our trip special.
The food was a highlight every single day. Dining at the Palmaria Restaurant with its stunning panoramic terrace views was an experience in itself. The cuisine was innovative, fresh, and absolutely delicious—a perfect taste of Liguria!
Waking up to the view of the colorful harbor and Palmaria Island from our balcony was unforgettable. The hotel's location is perfect, right in the heart of charming Portovenere and with the ferry to the Cinque Terre literally at your doorstep.
If you're looking for a luxurious, romantic, and utterly satisfying escape, look no further. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

An amazing vacation; calling it a hotel is an understatement given the many activities available thanks to the concierge's invaluable advice.
We tried the sunset boat excursion with aperitif and an exclusive boat tour of the Cinque Terre. Needless to say, the location is fantastic for visiting the center and the famous church of San Pietro. Close to excellent restaurants, including the Grand Hotel's own: the Palmaria restaurant. The friendly, helpful staff helped make those days and our stay at the Grand Hotel itself a special memory...thanks again!

Wonderful staff, very helpful with recommendations for activities as well as booking what you might need.
Rooms were very clean, views were amazing and the breakfast may be the best I've ever had at any resort including some 5 star hotels in New York.
My wife and I weren't sure we'd realize the value we paid initially, but after leaving I would say it's a great deal given what the hotel provides from a service and location standpoint.
We will be returning next year.

For the price, would never book it again. Nice rooms and beautiful views but for the price and what the hotel has to offer it is in complete misalignment. The front desk people were very welcoming and nice but overall the restaurant food was not good and the breakfast buffet was definitely not to par with the “category of hotel” they are striving for.

I can not recommend The Grand Hotel Portovenere enough. From the moment we checked in the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. When I walked into the room my jaw dropped. I could lay on the bed and stare at the beautiful see right out of the hotel room window. Whenever we needed any advice on anything we went to the lobby and the staff at the desk were always so very helpful. They were very friendly and full of great advice and bent over backwards to make sure we had our needs taken care of. We were even treated to a few surprise gifts during our stay.
The restaurant and enoteca at the hotel are fantastic. Truly great food with outstanding views of the sea and a wait staff that made the experience even better. Breakfasts in the same spot were truly enjoyable as well.
I will always recommend Portovenere to anybody I know traveling to Italy as a must-stay place. And I will always recommend The Grand Hotel Portovenere to anybody I know going to Portovenere as a must- stay at hotel! A truly wonderful experience!

we recently stayed at this hotel and were overwhelmed by the extremely high level of service provided to us by all the staff we encountered. From restaurant recommendations to assisting us with filing a police report due to a stolen bag on the train, to quickly responding to any requests we had, the staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. Location is ideal with great sea views, easy access to the ferries, and everything else in this quaint and friendly village. Definitely recommend staying here if you go to Portevenere.
