This beautiful and charming villa has an amazing view over Porto Venere, the island and the sea. Easy access to Porto Venere, the restaurants and the sea by stairs, even though many steps! MariaLuisa is an excellent host and very helpful.

Beautiful panorama!

1. Beautiful panorama over Portovenere. 2. Kind and friendly welcome by owner. 3. Large terrace in the garden. 4. House is not really equipped for 6 adults (see sleeping facility). 5. Not well informed about 230 steps of the stairs to the village and 125 steps in the garden to reach the house.

Sehr schöne Lage, romantisches Haus, etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Grosser, terrassierter Garten. Liegestühle fehlen. Gute Beschreibung zum Haus. Keine Parkplätze vorhanden. Parkgarage kostet pro Woche 350 Euro. Portovenere ist eine sehenswerte Stadt mit vielen Möglichkeiten.

Extrem schöne Lage mit sehr hohem Erholungsfaktor. Ja, mann muss Treppen steigen und nach einem schönen Abendessen am Hafen von Porto Venere fällt das dann auch mal schwer, aber das ist es allemal wert

Hervorragend

Wir, eine Familie mit Teenagern und erwachsener Freundin hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem einzigartigen, sehr besonderen Ferienhaus, das nicht nur durch seine Lage hervorsticht. Das mehrterassige Grundstück ist nicht mit dem Auto erreichbar (es empfiehlt sich, das Gepäck entsprechend zu planen/packen). Hat man aber die Stufen zum Haus erreicht, erwartet einen ein Stück vom Paradies! Ein liebevoll gestaltetes Haus mit einem umwerfenden Blick auf Portovenere, die vorgelagerte Insel Palmaria und das Meer. Und Ruhe. Und ein wunderschöner mediterraner Garten! Und obwohl der Ort Portovenere und die Region viel zu bieten haben: man mag garnicht weg. Erholung und Ferien beginnen mit dem Schritt auf die Terasse. Oder vielleicht doch schon im Bett, geweckt von der Sonne, den Möwen und mit Blick in die Olivenbäume? :-) Die Vermieterin Marisa stand uns jederzeit für Fragen zur Seite und war bei einem Problem mit dem Strom nach wenigen Minuten vor Ort und hat das Problem beseitigt. Wir haben schon jetzt Sehnsucht nach diesem magischen Ort und kommen sicher sehr gerne wieder! Danke Marisa!

Ein Traum

Wenn man die Stiegen zum Haus geschafft hat, landet man in einem kleinen Paradies. Auch indoor finden sich Stufen. Belohnt wird man mit herrlicher Aussicht und einem Ort, wo man gut zur Ruhe kommen kann. Samt Anschluss zur Hauskatze. Die Vermieterin ist eine liebenswerte Frau, die jede Unterstützung anbietet, die man brauchen könnte.

Traumhafter Ausblick

Sobald man den sportlich herausfordernden Weg zum Haus hinter sich hat, ist man begeistert von der Ruhe, dem Ausblick und der Natur. Wir konnten uns hier als Familie mit älteren (>10 Jahre) Kindern super erholen. Frau Buffatto ist sehr freundlich und hilsbereit!

TRES BEAU POINT DE VUE

La propriétaire est très sympathique et la maison conforme aux photos . En revanche il faut physiquement être capable de monter les 300 marches plusieurs fois par jour car la maison n'est pas accessible en voiture ; la plage et le village se trouvent au pied de la maison .Prévoir aussi de monter le nombre de bouteilles d'eau potable quotidiennement . Porto Venere est un village magnifique et très animé ,nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances

The property is an incredible oasis.

Once you realize the stairs only encompass about 15 minutes of your life, you can deal with them and get much easier. We were there 8 days, two couples, 60+ and a single woman in here 20s. The beds could be better. I only slept about 4 hours a night and the lack of wifi (a personal choice of the owner) was an inconvenience for three professionals - Architect, Writer, and Broker. We explained these to the lovely owner on the last day and I imagine she will take them into consideration for the future guests. Multiple sets of keys too, as we needed to devise a system of leaving the key under a rock at the gate with a piece of paper you would remove if you were the first group returning to the villa and know to leave the key for the late returners. Should the steps be mentioned in the description? I think so. One of our group was in a knee brace and arm cast and still gamely made their way, but others needed to carry their loads. It is a unique, magical place that is isolated from one of the most lovely villages below Cinque Terra. I would return here and stay longer. I am a writer and found the beauty and solitude inspiring. I would certainly recommend it if you want something out of the ordinary. The house was very clean and the owner, Maria, is a beautiful soul.

I'm sorry I met my guests only on the last day, because unfortunately I was away . People very kind and nice! I hope to have them again as guests.

Vue sensationnelle qui se mérite

Nous avons passés 3 nuits dans la location. Les points positifs : la tranquillité et une vue sensationnelle avec un tarif attractif. Les points négatifs : l'accès à la maison n'est pas simple, deux accès mais comptez entre 250 et 350 marches d'escaliers pour y arriver ....de ce fait je déconseille pour une famille avec des enfants en bas ages ou ayant des difficultés à se déplacer ....à savoir que la troisième chambre (que l'on ne voit pas en photos) est composé de lits superposés pas très hauts (un peu compliqué pour des adultes).
