The location was central for waterfront ristorante and lane way access to the grotto.

We were in the room at the very top of the stairs, 89 steps to be exact. So if you have knee or hip problems this is not ideal.

the terrasse arrangement and view + location basically on top of the piazza were amazing and the host so very friendly!

the toilet actually. sits in the shower, which is a bit inconvenient.

Big and comfortable room, good bathroom. Great location, in the heart of PV and next to the start of trekking paths. Everything at a nice walk distance. The staff was very kind and helpful; they also allowed me to leave the bags there after the check out for the rest of the day. Quite few steps to reach the room, but is not a downside as the hotel is developed in height and I found it very picturesque.

Maybe the thin wall separating the room from the next one, could hear some noise, but didn't bother us at all as the night was quiet and it was only in the morning and for short time

Good value, simple accommodation operated by a welcoming family team. A prime location over multiple levels, offering great views of the market square and the harbour. Everything that Porto Venere offers is literally right on the doorstep and the manager makes a great Negroni.

As with any central location, there's a level of general street noise coming from restaurants and tourists, along with early morning rubbish and street vacuum-cleaner trucks that keep the town pristine over the summer season. Pack light as there are quite a few stairs and no lift.

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.

No breakfast, but lovely cafés close by. Wonderful old building on several different levels. Beautiful view from terrace in front of our rooms. Helpful staff.

The only problem, which could not be helped, was lots of steep stone steps to reach our rooms. But it was worth it.

Very beautiful hotel with lots of steps set into the hill. Didn't have a sea view but that meant it was quieter at night and we still had a great view of Portovenere, so don't worry if there are no rooms with sea view available. The room had AC which was a very welcome surprise! The room was a good size, all things you might need (little lamps for reading, storage, small desk). The bathroom is small but good and clean, the towels were changed over night (although for the environment it would be good to only change towels that are on the floor). Wonderful, very central location. Little focaccia shop/bakery right outside to grab some breakfast.

There was a wall mounted hair dryer in the bathroom but it seemed to be broken. Shower cubicle was very small. Would be good to provide WiFi Password in the rooms.

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!!

Many, many steps to the room! We had a very heavy case and it was a good workout getting there.

The view from the room and terrace and the location was great . You need to be able bodied as there are many steps but the view makes them worthwhile 😊

Warm welcoming and very nice location. We got a room with a large balcony and a beautiful view. There was no kettle to make our breakfast tea, but the landlord kindly warmed up some water for us.

To enjoy more the balcony and the view from it, it would have been great to have a kettle or a microwave in the room to warm something up to eat or drink seated at the outdoor table.
