The suite was beautiful...shower was amazing You want for nothing and you can just sit on your porch and take it all in. Soany great place to eat...highly recommend Torre out near the castle on the end of the point. The ferry is like 100 feet away and you can ride it all day for a flat fee. Saw all 5 villages and had a blast. My only negative was that the bed is super firm...you might like that but I do not. There is a wonderful spa that is tied to the hotel...highly recommend to relax and set the tone for your stay. Portovenere is quiet at night and full of life during the day. They even have a private beach across the street! This is a.magival place...it is full of history and adventure.

The Grand Hotel Portovenere is a most beautiful hotel in a prime location. My stay here was the…read morehighlight of my trip! The area is incredibily beautiful: at the entrance of the Gulf of Poets: the deep blue Mediterranean sea becons with islands Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto in view along with dramatic San Pietro. The hotel is elegant and retains its history in its respectful and beautiful architecture. In the midst of such beauty, the staff and management make everything truly magic! From the warmest of welcomes to taking care of every detail with genuine kindness and consideration, the experience is heartfelt and magic!!! Great compliments to the chefs for the preparation of meals with delicate flavors highlighting the high quality ingredients. The team even made a dish that I had spoken to them about... a true surprise and absolute delight!! I recommend enjoying the experiences that can be arranged by the gracious staff. I had wonderful experiences in the cooking class with a truly talented chef who was informative, made delicious dishes and was fun! In addition, the sunset cruise experience was truly breathtaking! The boat was beautiful with a great Skipper, who showed me the natural beauty of the Portovenere area that can only be appreciated from the aspect of the sea: the black and gold marble caves, the beautiful islands and the views from the sea towards the Carrara mountains. The lovely aperitivo prepared by the hotel team made it perfect! The beautiful property, prime location and wonderful experiences make this a wonderful and grand place but what truly makes this a special Grand Hotel is the amazing staff led by their General Manager, Mr.. Polesel. They are gracious, warm and phenomenal at what they do!!! I am grateful to have been able to spend time here and will return soon!!!.

This review is not based on the quality of the hotel but of the service before we booked in that…read morelead to a very stressful couple of hours. I travelled with my wife and another couple from the uk in two cars over two days and were very much looking forward to the stay in Hotel Florida Lerici which we had booked over 6 months prior. We were informed by email two hours before we were due to arrive at the hotel that they had cancelled our reservation and sold it to another guest. The agreement we had through our booking.com agreement was to pay at the property, i had also informed them that we were travelling by car, and told them that we were not going to reach the hotel till after 6pm. Ramona was the lady we had correspondence with before the stay in regards to car parking etc, and it was Ramona who cancelled the booking. She claimed she had tried to charge the rooms on the credit card details she had (even thought the agreement was to pay on arrival) , and could not because i had been issued a new card. When i spoke to Ramona once id seen cancellation email, she was totally unsympathetic with the position she had put us in, (no accommodation and trips booked) and explained there was nothing she could do as the hotel was full. I then had to spend an hour frantically looking for an alternative property that had rooms to book, this after nearly a 1000 miles driving in baking heat. I did receive a call from the reception Manager while en route to different hotel, offering an apology and help finding alternative accommodation, both of which were pretty useless under the circumstances. A crappy start to out holiday 100% caused by Ramona and Hotel Florida Lerici.
