Ideal for two couples.

There was nothing to dislike, however, it should be stressed that the stairs to and from the property are formidable. We were four athletic, in our seventies, people who could navigate the steps, but it was easy to imagine that they wouldn’t work for others.

it was very nicely finished and close to a good beach good restaurants and historical sites. also good base to visit cinque terre

the steps were challenging with luggage.

The location was great, a pleasant walk into the main centre of Portovenere. The apartment was modern and spacious with a great terrace area.

very spacious

poorly stocked: no napkins, paper towels, detergent, garbage bags etc

the view is amazing and the house itself is clean and very spacious

Lovely terrace and view, good size apartment

Not clear that one would have to descend or climb a significant number of steps to get there. In a place like Portovenere that is not unusual, but it is not so good, when one is unprepared. A clear description of the parking situation would also be helpful. Key locks are not easy to handle. Kitchen equipment (pots without handles, no proper kitchens scissors, no knives to cut meat, no skillet to prepare e.g. fried eggs or similar).

Portovenere is a beautiful italian maritime town with cosy houses and a very nice harbour front. The water is Crystal clear and lovely for swimming. The appartment has a nice placing and view but you need to be in good shape as the entrance to the appartment demands many stairs, and you cannot park close to it. Size of appartment and Terrace is very good. 3 Big rooms and 2 large bathing rooms. Modern interiour but misses a bit of soul.

Seems like the onboarding to the appartment and management has a lack of procedures and instructions. We missed a welcoming of the staff showing where the appartment is placed (not easy to find). We had a nice digital brochure but a personal welcoming obviously means a lot. The Key delivering was not on agreed time so a bit stressing as it is difficult to park the car in Portovenere. Finally had the Key, found (the last I think) parking place in whole Portovenere 1000 m away, and finally found the appartment, we were annoyed about missing cleaning - the appartment Really needs a main cleaning, and then a well defined procedure for cleaning from week to week. Garbage and used Towels was not removed, deficient vacuuming, kitchen and fridge not clean. This needs to be improved. Management was Quick to reply to our messages, and that was Really nice. I think we had a bad start which imprented our stay a bit, and it is misses which can be solved. Place and appartment could have been a 9 or 10, but the misses unfortunately impacted our stay and this review so our overall rating is medium.
