B&Bs in Portovenere

Nancy United States

Portovenere is the perfect place to escape from the hubbub of the other “cinque terre” towns. Although access to the 5 terre was dependent on boats/ bus to La Spezia and then the train, we felt it was not a major barrier and worth avoiding the excessive crowds. The suite was perfect and well appointed/comfortable. the balcony overlooked the water and it was lovely to sit there at the end of the day. It was a few step walk to the rocky “brach” for refreshing swim. Despite the busy waterfront, the balcony door, once closed, was quite sound proof. The owners, Gianluca and Alessandro were hospitable and went out of their way to help. Their restaurant below served Italian breakfast for us and we also had dinner there. We were treated to aperitivo one night. Their response to my questions before arrival were immediate and helpful when we thought we needed a taxi.

The location is beautiful. It’s so peaceful and quiet and a nice getaway from the business of Portovenere. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was renovated and very nice.

The location was quiet and lovely, extremely close to the heart of Porto Venere and also to the public and private beaches. We initially went there to see Cinque Terre, but in the end were more impressed by the charming, romantic and much less crowded Porto Venere. The room was clean and well suited for the two of us. Beppe and Rosella are really warm people and attentive hosts. They cook breakfast for all the guests and provide all the information you may need, and inside advice. Also, the view from the terrace is amazing!

The location is within the walls of the old city. This means that there are many steps to go up to the hotel. We lobed the idea of being within the walls. The people there were extremely helpful, coming to get us from the taxi with an electric wagon to take our luggage, (to and from the room). They gave us good tips for restaurants and overall made us feel very welcome. The room was nice, without a window with a view, but who cares when you go out of the room early in the morning and come back late at night.

This was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had! The host, Silvanno and his wife were amazing! It was like living with a true Italian family! So well taken care of. The guest rooms were very well appointed, super stylish and modern, beds so comfortable, impeccably clean. Book a room with a view of the water...absolutely beautiful. The breakfast and coffee were delicious.

Félix Germany

Room with a great view over the harbour, with a balcony. The tenant was really nice and breakfast was offered.

Peter United States

Location is excellent. Postcard views. Our host Mirco was gracious, generous and accommodating. The property itself is several olive-tree covered acres located on a ridge overlooking Porto Venere. The owner maintains a small flock of sheep and other animals, lending a very bucolic feel. This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home. The kitchen is very well supplied, though don’t expect a microwave in Italy. The listing specified breakfast, which is there- though it consists of fruits, eggs yoghurt etc in the fridge. Actual breakfast is DIY, which wasn’t a problem for us.

My wife and I stayed at Capitolare Suite Tower for our honeymoon and had the most amazing time in Portovenere. What Andrea has done with the tower is truly magical and unique. Everything about our time there was perfect. A place we will never forget. To say the service was excellent would be an understatement. It really needs to be experienced first-hand. Thinking about visiting Cinque Terre? Make Capitolare Suite Tower in Portovenere your homebase for the region. When we arrived, Sergio greeted us at the train station in La Spezia and, from that moment forward, would help make this a special stay. Sergio is one-of-a-kind and would grace us with information, history, suggestion, and, of course, friendly conversation at all times. When he tells you to try the local breakfast of focaccia and a cappuccino at Moon Bar, do it! My wife and I owe a lot to Sergio for helping make this a trip of a lifetime. Even when it rained on one morning and something had to be canceled, the alternative to visit and the walk from San Terenzo to Lerici for lunch to Tellaro was perfection. They really care and it shows. The amount of hard work that has gone into the building and goes into your stay is worth the visit alone! Greta, the massage therapist, will help you recover from a long day and have you feeling ready for the following adventure. She was the one who suggested we visit San Terenzo, Lerici and Tellaro the night before we had rain! Rosanna and Barbara were our two chefs for a local cuisine tasting menu. They worked around an obscure and difficult food allergy that I have to prepare amazing seafood-inspired dishes from the region. Everything was to die for. The pesto making class and dinner that followed was also very unique and tasted great. Both Rosanna and Barbara were so nice and friendly that they gifted my wife a small Portovenere skyline bracelet and a very nice handwritten card!
