Grand Hotel Portovenere

Portovenere's harbourside five-star, with a small dog and a dog-sitter

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A five-star on the Portovenere waterfront, looking across to Palmaria island, with a spa and partner beach clubs around the bay. It suits couples who want the Gulf of Poets in comfort, a boat ride from the Cinque Terre. One small dog is accepted in selected rooms on request, and the hotel will arrange a dog-sitter for dinner.

Why it's in the collection

The harbour front runs from the door to the church of San Pietro on its rock at the tip of the promontory, and the lanes climb from there to the Doria castle. Boats to Palmaria leave from the quay across the road.

Best suited for

One small dog per room, in selected rooms, and only if you contact the hotel before booking.

The open question
