Beautiful town
20 Sept 2026
Portovenere is a beautiful town. The hotel is not really "5 star" but it was fine and accomodations clean. The restaurant was good for breakfast and dinner. Hotel is somewhat dated. Agree with others - no car is really needed here. We had one minor issue of our room not being serviced or resupplied with toiletries. It took a bit of time to get it resolved but it did. There are not a lot of hotel options so this is likely the best in the town. Antonio Polesel, Direttore generale at Grand Hotel Portovenere, responded to this review Dear lindcam,Thank you for reviewing your time with us at our PortovenereGrand. I am sorry to read that you say the Hotel is dated , We open only a few years ago and we invest a lot of resources and energies to redecor and refurbish every year when we are closed for the Season ! Beside that we had exposed several artworks of Contemporary art which are giving a normally appreciated extra touch !What it is dated is the Building which is dating back the XVII Century, it used to be a Convent but we think that's an added value ! I am sorry for the delay in the process of delivery and I spoke to the Housekeeper Manager and she regrets that you had this unconvenience !Kind Regards,Antonio PoleselGeneral Manager

Excellent breakfast and a lovely restaraunt for dinner. We have nothing but good things to say about our stay.

Perfect getaway
18 Aug 2026
My partner and I had the most wonderful time during our stay at Portovenere, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Portovenere holds a special place in my boyfriend's heart, as he used to come here on family vacations as a kid, so returning here together as a couple made this stay even more meaningful.From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional, with a welcoming atmosphere and impeccable attention to detail throughout. A special shoutout to Gianluca, whose kindness and professionalism made every moment feel truly special. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Antonio Polesel, and it was delightful to chat with him; you can really feel the care and passion put into every aspect of this place.The entire staff, without exception, made our stay perfect. The facilities, the cleanliness, and that genuine feeling of being truly welcomed made this the ideal setting for revisiting such a meaningful place, and for a couple's getaway.We're already counting down the days until we're back for another special occasion. Thank you for making these days so memorable! Antonio Polesel, Direttore generale at Grand Hotel Portovenere, responded to this review Dear Marieta Ruiz,Thank you very much for taking the time to share such wonderful and super feedback following your stay at our PortoVeneregrand .I couldn't agree more with you, PortoVenere is indeed unbeatable and special ! We are so lucky to be surrounded by a beatiful scenario and a unique location , combined with the significant place in the History for this little town !The whole Team is so happy to see that their effort did not go unnoticed as we constantly struggling to deliver the best service and approach possible , and trying to interact with a genuine approach that can become unforgettable memories. In the end it has been a real pleasure to read your review and myself and all of us are looking forward to welcome you back on your next visit to this part of Italy !When you have made the decision to come back ,please get in touch with me personally to find the best solution for your accomodation!Kind regards,Antonio PoleselGeneral Manager

Great value for the money!
21 Jul 2026
We had an amazing 4 nights at this hotel! The staff was exceptional. Sergio assisted me prior to my arrival and during my stay. He understood my requests and clearly communicated with me. The housekkeping staff were so nice and attentive too. I believe laura and daniela kept our room exceptional! They serviced our room 2x a day!On our last evening we had spa services with Lucrezita. She gave us a great massage and body scrub. It is not widely told but you may use the sensory shower, steam and sauna for free! Christine was very friendly and explained all of the services prior to receiving the treatments. She communicated in English very well!The food was terrific.we loved the complimentary breakfast selection. A wode variety of fresh fruits and nuts breads and a variety of egg dishes can be ordered. For a fee you may have other items such as french toast pancakes etc. martina, Valeria and Natalina were attentive and made the experience wonderful. If you are leaving early as we sid, don’t forget to ask for the breakfast box. Antonio Polesel, Direttore generale at Grand Hotel Portovenere, responded to this review Dear crose0704,Thank you for such a beatiful review following your recent stay at our PortovenereGrand.I am so glad that you have mentioned above all the attention of our Staff , calling by name so many of them ! In fact They are the real added value for the vast majority of our customers , and your detailed description of their coming out of their way to assit you , would be a great reward for them !We hope to welcoming you back in a near future in PortoVenere !Kind regards,Antonio PoleselGeneral Manager

An Unforgettable Experience in Portovenere
14 Jul 2026
I firmly believe that when a company invests in its employees, it shows and it pays off. Grand Hotel Portovenere is the perfect example of that philosophy.From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The front desk team, bellmen, bartenders, and servers were all warm, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. Even before our trip, the staff went above and beyond, promptly answering emails, helping us arrange restaurant reservations, and coordinating car services to make our stay effortless.The location simply can’t be beat. Once you stay here, you’ll understand why. While exploring the beautiful villages of Cinque Terre is a must, our family actually found ourselves falling in love with Portovenere. It was the perfect home base and quickly became our favorite destination.The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the amenities were wonderful, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. But what truly makes this hotel a gem is its people. Their genuine hospitality turned a beautiful stay into an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to return.If you’d like, I can also make it a little shorter and more impactful for a 5-star Google review. Antonio Polesel, Direttore generale at Grand Hotel Portovenere, responded to this review Dear kristenhc,Thank you very much for such a fantastic review of your family's stay at our Portovenere Grand!I am delighted to hear that you found the location so strategic which is true ! And yes that is combined with such unique Scenario of this village and its unique charming atmosphere !The best part of the review has been the special mention for our team so welcoming and infact they are the real added value like you and most of the Customers highlight at the end of their stay !I noted you have enjoyed the comfort of your room, particularly the beds, accomodation is tiny for dimensions , but we try very hard to keep it clean and comfortable combined with unbeatable views !Your very kind recommendation means a great deal to us and We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Portovenere in a not too distant future !Kind regards,Antonio PoleselGeneral Manager
