Soggiorno in luogo incantevole nel cuore di Portovenere
Pros:

Posto incantevole e vissuto, comunicazione con lo staff ottima, check in easy, posizione perfetta e anche possibilità di posto auto. A pochi minuti c'è una spiaggetta libera molto carina. Igor il gestore ci ha tenuto compagnia con ottime chiacchiere.

Pros:

Super bien accueilli. Très chaleureux. Les chambres sont tip tops ce qu'il nous fallait. Et nous avons trouvé l'établissement très original, avec ses nombreuses terrasses et escaliers. Emplacement super, très belle vue depuis les chambres, balcons, terrasses. Et la place de parc disponible à quelques minutes de marche de l'hôtel est un luxe. Parfait pour un petit séjour à Portovenere et dans les Cinque Terre.

Eine Empfehlung für das Hotel kann an Freunde/Bekannte nicht ausgesprochen werden.
Pros:

Einzig und allein das Bad war in Ordnung. Der Wirt/Inhaber war freundlich. Ein PKW Parkplatz wurde etwas außerhalb für die Zeit kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt.
Hinweis: Unsere Bewertungen sind nur für Ihr Unternehmen geeignet. (Booking.com) Einer Veröffentlichung stimme ich ausdrücklich nicht zu.

Cons:

Eigentlich ist die Hotelanlage hoch oben an der Burg traumhaft schön. Die 82 Stufen, die bis hinauf zu bewältigen sind, sind für gesunde Beine geeignet. Ältere dürften massive Probleme haben. Frühstück wurde nicht angeboten und musste täglich außer Haus eingenommen werden. Das Zimmer war spartanisch eingerichtet. Wohlfühlen sieht anders aus. Aus den großen beiden Terrassen könnte man mehr daraus machen. Tische und Stühle nicht gereinigt, alles musste man sich selber zusammensuchen.
