The hotel is not in Porto Venere the city but a small bay Le Grazie) to the side of it (it is an easy hike of about an hour to it). Both places are great with good food and easy to get around. Good places in Le Grazie to eat: the hotel El hotel della Baia and La Marinara pizzeria and el ristorante Gamberi.

Lovely place to relax and enjoy, busy with groups of tourist in day but quiet in evening. Took bus for 3euro from LaSpezia, boat to Cinque Terre,
Lots of stairs from the boat to towns, train runs from each of the other towns so choice more limited staying here.

Portovenere was the most picturesque spot I have ever seen!
Portovenere was the most picturesque spot I have ever seen! The beautiful views took my breath away! I loved exploring - the shops, the restaurants, the history! It was all perfection! Rented a private, captained boat to cruise to Monterosso, then returned by the ferry. Views of the coastline and 5 towns of Cinque Terra are not to be missed. Do not miss the sunset viewed from the ancient church overlooking the sea! Amazing beauty!

Beautiful views, nice walking and hiking, enjoyed restaurants on the water. Easy to get to Cinque Terre and accommodations better than Cinque Terre. We were also able to get away from the super high tourist areas by staying here. Porto Venere is the best kept secret of Cinque Terre.

People, please skip Cinque Terre and visit Portovenere...
People, please skip Cinque Terre and visit Portovenere instead. Honestly, Cinque Terre was way overhyped and Portovenere was a wonderful little surprise. Between the old town, the fortress, and the church, our desire to see old structures was sated. Then the hiking on the island of Palmeria across the harbor was beautiful and swimming in the crystal waters of the harbor made for a perfect early morning exercise. The restaurants there were rather pricey and touristy, but we still found a nice spot to get some pizza and gelato.

Local cuisine is top notch but outside of regional specialties the food is fair. The Grand Hotel Portovenere is luxurious but very expensive and not friendly. There is not much to do after one day except soak up the atmosphere.
“The property is located very close to all the central areas in Portovenere, just a 2 minute walk to the ferry if you want to explore Cinque Terre or nearby islands. The hosts were extremely accommodating, helping us along every step of the way from booking parking, recommendations for activities and nearby locations, all the way to finding the best food nearby. They were attentive to our every need, even with our late arrival to the location. The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful. I would recommend this location over and over again! ”
“The views were beautiful and the area was so authentic. We loved walking into town down the paths and could easily make day excursions to Cinque Terre and Portovenere while our car was parked for free. We stayed an extra night because it was so convenient for us. ”
