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.

Fantastic location - ideal for jumping on the ferry to Cinque Terre.
Staff were amazing - always happy to help and advise on excursions and travel options.
Room - decent size, worth paying for a sea view if you can, turndowns and bottles of water add to the experience.
Restaurant - does a great breakfast, lunch and dinner, so worth paying a visit.
The Paradiso Hotel is situated right on the Gulf of Portovenere with the view of the Palmaria Island and the Apuan Alps, which frame this picturesque locality.

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

This is my favourite new region in Italy!!
This is my favourite new region in Italy!! Captivating views around each corner of the coastline, breathtaking rock formations and boats zooming to and from. Soothing to sit amongst the coastal life. The villages felt very authentic and less touristic than other places that are this beautiful. Can’t wait to go back :)
We loved the B&B L'Ancora and cannot give the location and Silvano high enough praise. It's the prime spot in Portovenere (which we found to be the least touristy and most beautiful town near cinque terre). Silvano was an amazing host bringing us a delightful breakfast of fresh focaccia, croissants, Ligurian sweet bread, cappuccinos, and fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. The room was very clean and freshened up everyday. We already miss the view from our room! Definitely recommend!
What is not to like? The apartment is centric, the units were extremely clean! Silvano and his wife are great people that make you feel right at home. Silvano helped carry all our luggage to each unit, and was always extremely attentive. They made us a delicious breakfast each morning and they provided specific recommendations and experiences for Portovenere and Cinque Terre - from where to go, how to get there and where to eat!
Great small room but everything I needed & breakfast served every day, Awesome location right in the centre of the old part of Portovenere, many shops and restaurants, ferry to a most of the ports along the cinque terre, great steep walk to Riomaggiore about 8 miles in total couple of stop off points and beautiful scenery, loads to
Explore churches, fort, island, good spot for swimming if sea is calm,
Great location away from the crowds of portovenere, big rooms, nice pool and absolutely amazing food! One of the best dinners we had in the whole of Italy was at the restaurant, which is open to the public too. The restaurant setting is literally on the water next to little boats, it is quiet and romantic. Best tuna and lemon sorbetto we’ve ever tasted! We’ll definitely be back!
From the time we arrived to the time we left the staff was over the top generous, helpful, welcoming, kind. They were fantastic. The food at the restaurant was some of the best we had in our trip to Italy. We had a welcome card, a bottle of Prosecco in the room. The view of the bay was amazing. If we come back to Porte Verne we will stay at the Grand Hotel.
Really nice and reasonably priced hotel for the service we got. The rooms were clean, spacious and tidy. Breakfast was good with a mixture of bread, focaccia, croissant, Italian hams, etc. The hotel has a really nice garden with an amazing view of the whole town, surrounding island, sea, etc. We had breakfast outdoors in that garden while appreciating the view!
The hotel is in a great location for exploring Porto Venere and Cinque Terre. The room was bright, modern & clean with an excellent shower. Nice little touches each day such as chocolates in the room and a stocked mini bar. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices. Giovanni, our host was fantastic and went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay.
great and helpful host Fabio, who explains everything starting where to go, where to eat and what to eat. very clean rooms, and safe place.
portovenere is small fishing village and by ferry u can get to see cinque terre.plz note that during summer it is crowded in ferry and train))
Colonna 24 is a superbly well located property in the heart of Portovenere, that is extremely comfortable, well run, and perfect for a stay of one to several days. Key to this is Giovanni, a friendly, reliable, and professional manager, who makes everything run smoothly.
Everything was perfect. The location in Portovenere is ideal to go everywhere. The suite itself is very well-built. High-quality bathroom. Very comfortable. The host is amazing and generous. We were very happy we decided to have our honeymoon there.
A minute we stepped in, we’ve been welcomed by the very friendly staff, the hotel it self is very clean, beautiful decor, the rooms are so spacious, with big panoramic windows, what opens view of Portovenere.
It really deserves to have 5⭐️ rating.
Very well situated in the heart of Portovenere. Nice little house that we had to ourselves. We were there only for an overnight stay so we didn't use all of the facilities provided but it would be a good choice for a family or for a longer stay
The apartment has an amazing location, it goes right to the port of Portovenere. It is very nice and clean, furnished with attention to details. We had a very good night there with sound of the waves at night. Super comfy bed and sofa.
You cant get a better location in Portovenere. Fantastic views and so close to everything - but not in the claustrophobic tiny streets. The staff were so helpful. The rooms super clean and although not luxurious were very lovely.
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 apartment was very clean and the views excellent. The location to go to Portovenere was also very convenient.
The instructions received form the host to get to the apartment an to access it were very clear.
this apartment was charming, with modern appliances, very clean & spacious. the terra e was a bonus & view was spectacular. this will be our mothership in the Ligurian area going forward.
