Location was perfect, best view over the bay, not near the restaurants on the quay so quiet enough. Underground parking a bonus. The town is small so everything is within walking distance.
The Paradiso Hotel is situated right on the Gulf of Portovenere with the view of the Palmaria Island and the Apuan Alps, which frame this picturesque locality.

My initial review was mistakenly for a previous B.Com property in Rumaggiore. Apologies. Staying in too many B.Coms ! All in a sequence.
La Calata was the best we stayed in all trip. Really excellent. Friendly caring host. Met us in the street to help get the right door. Fantastic place. Lovely views. We’d stay again - any day. The facilities and comfort couldn’t be beaten.

It's in a beautiful setting but, to visit Cinque Terre, you'd be better off somewhere like Levanto or in one of the villages inland, which are very quiet but lovely (and a quarter of the cost!) Even in late September and some awful weather, Porto Venere is packed with tourists and people from cruise ships so it's harder to enjoy it.

The Grand Hotel did not disappoint.
The Grand Hotel did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in you feel genuinely welcomed, wonderful staff, nothing is ever a problem. The view from our room was delightful, looking across the water to the beautiful old buildings of Portovenere. The breakfast was incredible, so many choices. The terrace was a lovely area to spend time for a drink as you take in some sun and the view or for dinner under the stars. We stayed 4 days and I was not ready to leave, highly recommend.

Place is a nice resort with views over looking island and La Spezia bay. Except at the departure port for Cinque Terre boat, there are not too much crowd.
Nice ruins of a castle overlooking the sea, old Church and a Grotto.
Fine restaurant & bars.
Easy to park if you pay
You can relax there after hectic / epic day visit in the Cinque Terre!
Nice beach on the Island

This is my favourite new region in Italy!!
This is my favourite new region in Italy!! Captivating views around each corner of the coastline, breathtaking rock formations and boats zooming to and from. Soothing to sit amongst the coastal life. The villages felt very authentic and less touristic than other places that are this beautiful. Can’t wait to go back :)

Good base for visiting the Cinque Terre by boat.
Good base for visiting the Cinque Terre by boat. Day ticket for Euro 37 to see and visit four of the five. Public beach a few mins walk from the apartment was great. Many restaurants nearby although not impressed with a few, La chiglia, il Timone, rubbish!
We arrived lunchtime on Saturday and spent hours in traffic queues trying to find parking. Davide was really helpful when we asked for help, very thankful to him.
The location is absolutely perfect - a 200 meter walk to the center of portovenere...shops, restaurants, etc. The property is stunning with beautiful views, gorgeous plants and flowers. Beppe and Rosella (the property owners) are absolutely wonderful - Rosella cooks homemade breakfasts every morning and we sat and chatted with Beppe while he made us coffee and cappuccino - they are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make their guests fell comfortable and satisfied, which we were! We would absolutely go back to stay with them!
The staff is very kind. He explained about where to go in Portovenere, and brought us our breakfast on time in the morning. The croissants and focaccia was delicious and we had them looking the sunrise by the window facing to the harbor.
The room was new and very clean. There is a wonderful restaurant almost in front of the entrance of the hotel, so it was very convenient to go back to our room, after having nice regional wine and beautiful dinner.
Check in and out was very smooth.
Amazing location and unique setup. After finding some problems in the first room it was promptly changed so we ended up in a nice space. A lot of steps were not a problem for us but worth remembering about it before booking. Beautiful part of the world. Good value for money. Rooms are cosy but big enough if you are planning to spend days outside sightseeing and exploring Cinque Terre.
Great location away from the crowds of portovenere, big rooms, nice pool and absolutely amazing food! One of the best dinners we had in the whole of Italy was at the restaurant, which is open to the public too. The restaurant setting is literally on the water next to little boats, it is quiet and romantic. Best tuna and lemon sorbetto we’ve ever tasted! We’ll definitely be back!
A BEAUTIFUL B&B at the top of a hill overlooking the Portovenere harbor. The front garden is dreamy and a gorgeous place to read, have tea or breakfast, or look at the view. Big, clean, comfortable rooms that feel very modern and well cared for. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at check-in as well. We only stayed for one night but wish we had been able to stay longer!
The host was incredible nice and she went above and beyond to accomodate our arrival. The room was clean and spacious as well as was the bathroom. There was a big public parking only 3 mim walking to the room and the location was fantastic, only 15 mim driving to the city center of Portovenere. I highly recommend About Italy for your next stay, we would for sure stay again.
Really nice and reasonably priced hotel for the service we got. The rooms were clean, spacious and tidy. Breakfast was good with a mixture of bread, focaccia, croissant, Italian hams, etc. The hotel has a really nice garden with an amazing view of the whole town, surrounding island, sea, etc. We had breakfast outdoors in that garden while appreciating the view!
The hotel is in a great location for exploring Porto Venere and Cinque Terre. The room was bright, modern & clean with an excellent shower. Nice little touches each day such as chocolates in the room and a stocked mini bar. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices. Giovanni, our host was fantastic and went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay.
Very beautiful room in a castle overlooking Portovenere harbour. The room itself was basic, clean and comfortable but it's the charm of climbing up through narrow alleyways with spectacular views along the way to the room, superb! A previous review said the owners were cute but that is an understatement, they are truly adorable!!
Fabio sent messages prior to arrival offering instructions on how to find the hotel. Gave us bus tickets to La Spezia upon departure, couldn't have been more helpful. The room was spacious and probably the best shower we've come across in Italy. Would definitely stay here again were we to visit the area.
The hotel’s location and view were amazing. Silvano secured us a dinner reservation even though late in the afternoon. Restaurant just across the street and had a wonderful dinner there - Portivene -breakfast delivered each morning to our room also excellent- Magical!
property is perfectly located close to the harbor and was walking distance from the ferry. I requested a room with a balcony and the hotel confirmed my request. the view was amazing. the room was quite small but functional.
overall highly recommended.
Everything was perfect. The location in Portovenere is ideal to go everywhere. The suite itself is very well-built. High-quality bathroom. Very comfortable. The host is amazing and generous. We were very happy we decided to have our honeymoon there.
Amazing views , right by the water & super close to town and beaches .
Service is exceptional , great breakfast and very clean.
We have such a memorable and lovely experience with the hotel and in Porto Venere .
this apartment was charming, with modern appliances, very clean & spacious. the terra e was a bonus & view was spectacular. this will be our mothership in the Ligurian area going forward.
The 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.
Portovenere is nice.
The overall size of the apartment is ok.
The bathroom and shower is very nice.
The heating was needed for this time of the year.
The view is ok but not amazing.
