The size of the room, the view and the bar/restaurant was lovely. The staff was GREAT and very helpful. From helping us with parking & luggage to the bar staff remember what wine I had on the terrace and getting it for me at dinner!
United States of AmericaI am a frequent traveler and I usually reside in 3-5 stars' hotels in different parts of the world. By far, Grand Hotel Portovenere gave me the best hotel experience that I ever had throughout more than 25 years of frequent travelling! The staff are our of this world with loads of care and support ! Ariana and Chiara in the reception were exceptional in the kind of support and genuine care that they offered allover our stay :) Anna S. in the restaurant was very careful to make us feel at home in every single meal! Everything about this hotel is exceptional; safety, cleanliness, location, breakfast, very delicious and typically Ligurian dinner, …, etc. I never rated a hotel with 10 (even very luxurious ones) - Yet, I would openly and gladly rate Grand Hotel Portovenere with a 10+
EgyptThe property is the best by far in all of Cinque Terre. It’s location is unique in Portovenere, but the ferries make it very accessible. The room was lovely, the restaurant is incredible.
United States of AmericaAbsolutely perfect location, impeccable service and property. World class and we have seen a lot of the world's best.
United States of Americaeverything! this place was absolutely incredible! the best location, views, staff, and amenities and we loved the complimentary fruit plate and champagne!
United States of AmericaStaff set up private boat tour and transportation. very helpful.
United States of America-Excellent views from the junior suite - surprise welcome basket - cleaning staff were great - great food - helpful front desk staff
United States of AmericaThe room was exceptionally clean and modern with every imaginable necessity. The location and staff were both excellent.
United States of AmericaA stately building in a gem of a town that offers an upscale experience. The rooms are excellent, the views worth the cost, a very good food offering throughout the day (breakfast was exceptional), and a friendly, kind staff. The location is an ideal base, as the town is wonderful, offers a lot to do and see, and is much quieter then Cinque Terra, which is easily visited by a 30 min ferry (Riomaggoire) that runs all day.
United States of AmericaFrom 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.
