Albergo Belvedere

This place is a (very pleasant) step back in time. The lobby evokes an late mid-century Italian vibe. The decor is understated and 60's Romanesque, but immaculately kept up and comfortable. With the perfect view, it's a perfect place to cool off and read a book while sipping on a €7 gargantuan gin and tonic. The service is casual and efficient, but also very friendly. The rooms are vintage but have all the necessities including a fridge and mini bar. The beds are super soft and comfortable. (Ask for extra pillows.) The views from the rooms are sublime, but the dining area and adjoining balcony with tables are the highlight. This is, by far, the best hotel deal we have had in Europe.

I just spent three nights at this wonderful hotel, in a seaview room and have enjoyed every day and night here. The views are exceptional, the service is excellent, and the private parking in front (for a fee) is a must for me. The buffet breakfast served in the dining room, and on the terrace, is complete and a beautiful way to start the day. Plus, the hotel is within walking distance of everything you’re here to see in Portovenere. The staff, and especially Leonardo, were very helpful, from my arrival to my departure.

Nice, soft beds for Italy. The view over the harbour is worth the stay. Lobby and breakfast room with a classic charm where we had a drink before dinner. Really rich breakfast.
