We were spoiled at our previous b&b in Tuscany. We arrived at the front desk of the Hotel Belvedere and received a mediocre greeting only to climb the stairs with our luggage to a tiled floor hotel room. Little did I know what lurked behind the bathroom door - a room the size of an airplane bath. I literally could... More

The hotel itself isn't luxurious, but it's in a perfect location to experience all Portovenere has to offer! Parking is the only downfall of this hotel - you have to find your own, which can prove difficult in the summer months. If you need to check out early in the morning, make sure and arrange that ahead of time as... More

Small, friendly hotel with helpful staff. Rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable. Pretty view of the harbour. Good breakfast included - buffet with fresh fruits, yogurts, bread, warm croissants, cereals, cheeses - and eggs anyway you like them. Great lounge and terrace for evening drinks and gathering with friends. The sister hotel next door has a fantastic restaurant.... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this hotel with my parents as we were having such a lovely time in Portovenere. The hotel was very clean, the service from the staff was exceptional, they went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good in a lovely room with sea views. Bedrooms were really small... More

I stayed here with my adult daughter in October 2010. I was a little apprehensive with some of the posts which make it seem like the only hotel to stay at in Portovenere is The Grand Hotel. Not so!!! This is such a wonderful hotel. It is family run which adds to its charm. Fabrizio and his children Stefano &... More

We showed up without a reservation and were able to secure a room at a better price than advertised on the internet. Gentleman at front desk was very nice and helpful. We stayed in a quad with beautiful sea views. Rooms were pretty basic but clean. Bathroom modern, beds comfortable. Only one of the two air-conditioning units worked which was... More

We had a nice stay here during our trip with friends. The town is absolutely gorgeous, and the hotel has a fabulous view of the ocean and marina. Our room was fairly plain (common in Italy) but was adequate; the balcony made up for it. The view in the evening with the sunset and a good bottle of vino made... More

We got a room on the road side without a view of the ocean, so that was a disappointment, but I was OK with that until the huge amount of traffic noise woke me up at 7am on Sunday morning. The staff was OK, kind of typical Italian rudeness, no help with the bags up the stairs, or offer to... More

We are so sorry that we even considered this place. We have traveled extensively in Italy and love older hotels. And we have always been treated graciously in Italy. Not here. We arrived and struggled with our luggage while the desk clerk sat on a sofa in the lobby watching a loud Italian talk show on televion. He not only... More
