My wife and I stayed here from May 6 - May 8, 2012 and are still working our way through Italy. Of all the places we have stayed, this was the most disappointing. After a 9 hour flight and a 3 hour car ride, we were excited to get to Portovenere. It was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we were greeted by... More

What saves this hotel is the view from the window. Portovenere is a spectacular village and the hotel has full advantage of its beauty with the views from the room BUT the hotel was shabby, my room was cramped but clean. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Wifi costs a lot and it is difficult to stay connected, gave up... More

A beautiful hotel with an amazing view from your balcony. The staff were accommodating and i received a discount too. I did not eat dinner at the hotel as there were so many cafes to explore but breakfast was fine. A lovely experience. More

The room was simply furnished, perhaps not very much a 4 star hotel room, but clean and comfortable, with a veranda twice the size of the room, with an unforgettable view of the harbor!!! The breakfast was nice... More

We have been regular visitors to the Grand for the past 11 years and it is a home away from home for us. We love the staff and know most of them by first names. The staff are welcoming, the service is great, the food is excellent and we can highly recommend the views. Portovenere is a jewel and needs... More

This hotel is located in the heart of Portovenere. The view from our room was wonderful and we loved watching the yachts pull in for the evening. Portovenere is a small town with wonderful charm and many beautiful sights to see. The Grand Hotel is indeed that in that it is very large. Our room was clean and comfortable with... More
