Great location, excellent service and spotlessly clean

It's a great location, the town itself worth visiting, even better than Cinque Terre. Great breakfast, great view of the hotel.

The a/c in the room did not work - we changed rooms three times. The water was shut off one evening. the breakfast was great!

Great location to visit Cinque Terre. Used Ferry service and hiked from this location. Beautiful port city with many dining options. Great breakfast and dinner on outdoor terrace overlooking port city. In the middle of the historic town center. Loved it!

This was the first time at the Grand Hotel in Portavenere and I must admit it was one of the finest run hotels I have been in over the last 30 years our front desk concierge Beatrice made sure that we were taken care of as it was my wife's 60th birthday and our anniversary

This location is beyond beautiful. It is a special, magical place. The hotel staff bend over backwards to help and make your stay perfect. The food is outstanding. Their chef is world class. We had some of the most original and innovative DELICIOUS food ever.

Renee

United States of America

Beautifully appointed and renovated hotel in a spectacular location. Room was small but comfortable and well furnished. The breakfast was a perfect "10", and staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Matthew

United States of America

Touring all of Cinque Terre can be a challenge unless you locate your base of exploring in the right place - Portovenere is the perfect location - at the base of the ferry to 4 out of 5 towns, walkable and filled with interesting shops and delectable food.

Good Location, and wonderful staff. Concierge recommendation for restaurants was excellent. The view from the sea view rooms is stunning.

I can’t say enough great things about Grand Hotel Portovenere. Five star treatment in every sense: kind, attentive personnel; thoughtful gestures (my husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary, and they surprised us with a bottle of bubbly and a nice note upon arrival, as well as a special treat at our first breakfast); amazing views from the rooms; fantastic, convenient location (with easy ferry access to any of the 5 villages of Cinque Terre); incredible restaurant (Palmaria) with absolutely delicious food and friendly, personable staff; and a tasty breakfast that is included in the stay!

“Disappointing Reality vs. Expectations”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Unfortunately, it seems as though the property was not prepared for guests in the season we visited. “Beach access” was definitely not in their current offering and when we inquired about where to swim, we were simply told “walk to the left and there are some spots. The water will be very cold.” I understand that not everyone might swim in early fall, but we would have loved to at least sit and read by the ocean. The stone beach we could find was not very close, not indicated in any way, and there was not a soul there. In fact, all the entrances to the beach had been blocked off and it seemed like some type of maintenance was under way. If they do offer beach amenities (chairs, towels) in the summer, it would have been nice to know that the beach would be closed and these services would not be available to us upon our arrival. It was really disappointing for a coastal town, and one of the main reasons we originally chose to visit. Additionally, the ferry to the main tourist spots was not running when we arrived, and no alternate transportation was offered besides a “50 euro taxi which would arrive in an hour.” Their site had referenced a shuttle to take us, but I suspect this might have only been available under heavy demand. Again, never indicated to us when we booked, nor when we spoke at the front desk. So we struck out on both an afternoon at the beach and a night in the heart of cinque Terre. One final issue - the WiFi was actually stronger outside the hotel than in our room. None of our devices would hold a connection. Not the end of the world normally, but frustrating when you find out that the beach and the town won’t be in your plans. Overall, the property did not merit its price in terms of amenities nor luxury. Our trip to the Grand Hotel sounded a lot better on paper than it ended up being
The property was in a good location and had very nice views. The free breakfast was pretty good and the room was comfortable (though nothing spectacular) We also met a fantastic employee who walked us to the local bus, assisted with our luggage and made sure we had everything figured out. That gentleman (the porter/bellhop) was spectacular. I regret not catching his name.

The setting in this beautiful town is exceptional. Our room overlooking the sea was very well presented. Staff were attentive, even had the manager checking we were happy and he farewelled us as well. While breakfasts and dinner were good, we didn’t find the food to be outstanding, however restaurant staff offered good service. Use of hotel car park was great.

“beautiful place!”

We wish we had been briefed a bit more on how to book sun loungers at the beach coordinated with the hotel. On the day we arrived these were already booked, so we sort of lost a day & the comfort of having those chairs. We also wished someone had explained the taxis to the other island -- and of course to the other towns of cinque Terre. We figured it out on our own, but this would have made our stay even better.
The staff were very professional, helpful and friendly. We were immediately welcomed and helped to park our car. The hotel was clean, had incredible views, and was comfortable. We loved the Malin and Goetez products! Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were also fantastic.
