short stay - good location
Pros:

location

Cons:

small window with no balcony- misleading description
was told to check out late would be half the cost of 1 night. I inquired ahead of time, however they charged us a full additional night stay and we left the hotel by 6pm.

Pros:

Localização muito boa, com vista para toda a cidadezinha e o mar. Como Portovenere é bem pequenininha, dava para fazer tudo a pé e super rápido.

Wonderful hotel in a wonderful town.
Pros:

This is an expensive, luxury hotel with first class service, and the price reflects it. The location cannot be better and we had an excellent view of the sea from our room. Breakfast was included and was wonderful. We hiked 9 miles from Riomaggiore to Portovenere and the trail drops into town just one block from the hotel. Staff arranged a cab to La Spezia for us when we left and escorted us from the lobby to the waiting cab (parking in town is virtually non-existent).

Cons:

Again, very expensive, but everything was perfect.

Extremely overprices 4 star hotel.
Pros:

location is nice

Cons:

This is definitely not a five star hotel! This is a scam. It struggles to be a 4 star.hotel at twice the price I often question the Booking.com rating system . It is extremely overpriced.The rooms and bathrooms and vanity are small. The food in the restaurant was not fresh. There were few guests dining there. The wine was not fresh . I felt ill after eating. The outside street restaurants are so much better.
