Private access to the sea
This is a beautiful spot with one especially cool feature: a private pier for swimming in the Mediterranean! The house is charming and the views are stunning. You can easily walk to Porto Venere, or to a public beach <10 min away. Very highly recommend this spot!

A paradise by the sea
We loved our week in Porto Venere and this apartment. It was very private, whereas attractions, shops and restaurants, as well as hiking tours, were only a short walk away. The house was just like described on the website. Few others were in the house at the same time, and we were mostly by ourselves by the sea, and always with friendly and respectful people. The place by the sea is the most precious feature of this property.

Gorgeous view
I loved everything about the place. The sleeping arrangements worked well for us. The view was so beautiful! Even though it was on a hill it was very close to the town and easy to get to by bus if you don’t want to walk up the hill. There’s a nice grocery store in Porto Venere and restaurants. We even rented a boat for 3 hours. It was definitely the highlight of our stay. I would love to spend a month at the house.

Perfect Location
Home owners were great to work with. House was set high up over water. We had our own private dock to swim off. A lot of stairs to water. Plenty of beds to sleep in house. The bus was located close to entrance. We could have used a few more fans as it was super hot. There were no screens in windows. A lovely vacation.

Everything you need!
Bibi's home has everything you need as a home base for enjoying the Ligurian coast. We cancelled a day we had planned to spend hiking in the Cinque Terre because Portovenere and the rental were so inviting and comfortable that we preferred to hang out closer to "home." Our favorite things about this home were: Located close enough to walk to "downtown" restaurants, shops, beaches, bars and historical landmarks The private dock for sunning, swimming and speculating on what's happening on the luxury yachts anchored just meters away Easy bus access to La Spezia for train and port access (we spent a wonderful day on a sailboat that docks at the Porto Mirabello) Every convenience for cooking breakfast and simple meals at home, while listening to your favorite music and podcasts on the Sonos system I would love to stay here again!

"treehouse' over the sea
This unit is within a multi-unit building.. however it felt like we were in a treehouse surrounded by trees and flowers with the sea far below. The view is a partial one - the best view is on the other side of the building - but you get great glimpses of colourful Portovenere and the many interesting boats and ships passing by. The decor is very nice with local art and shells. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedroom is as you see in the photos - a loft bed over the living room and twin beds in a row in the bedroom. There are no screens on the windows -there were a few mosquitos buzzing around at nigh There are two flights of stairs to get down to the Unit from the road.. and many many more stairs to get to the sea. We were disappointed that the dock was not down until June and the rocks were too rugged (with sea urchins) to get into water without the dock and ladder. It is a 20-30 minute walk down the road to Portovenere and then of course a walk uphill home. We were disappointed that the local shuttle bus was not running while we were there. However the bus to La Spezia was running every 30 minutes and the stop is close (up hill) from the unit. The La Spezia Friday clothing/ household market was fun. I would suggest you ask Bibi what amenities will be available (buses, swimming docks) before you book. Bibi was very helpful and always prompt with her responses. Grazie MIlle Bibi!

Schöne Tage in Portovenere
Wir sind eine Familie mit 3 Kindern zwischen 16 und 23. Für uns war der Aufenthalt sehr schön. Für jeden war etwas dabei. Meer, Sonne, Ausflüge zu Fuß und auf dem Wasser. Das Auto stand die ganze Zeit auf dem Parkplatz. Der Weg in den Ort hätte etwas kürzer sein können und ein paar Stufen weniger zum Meer wären auch schön gewesen. Sonst alles prima.

We had wonderful days, the view was breathtaking, the apartment had everything your heart could desire, the communication with the owner was excellent, the access via the private jetty was sensational. The Small towns within walking distance, an absolute dream to switch off for a few days and enjoy the time without the hustle and bustle. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely come back again

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Ferienwohnung ist einfach und schön eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man für einen angenehmen Urlaub braucht. Besonders toll ist, dass zwei schattige Terrassen zur Verfügung stehen. Purer Luxus: der private Zugang zu einem Steg ins Meer. Das ist wirklich unübertroffen toll!

Wunderbarer Ort um abzuschalten
Die Lage der Wohnung in Bezug zum Ort und innerhalb des Grundstückes könnte nicht besser sein. Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf die Bucht, Baden am „Privatstrand“ mit eigenem Steg und abends in ein paar Minuten im Herzen von Porto Venere zum Essen. Besser geht es fast nicht. Dass Vermieter Team war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt. Ciao et Grazie Andreas und Susanne

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bougainville apartment. The house has a very nice terrace with a beautiful view, just like in the pictures.

Wunderbare Unterkunft
Alles bestens, wunderschöner Blick aufs Meer, liebevoll eingerichtete, saubere Wohnung. Schnelle und sympathische Kommunikation mit Besitzerin (wir wurden sogar gefragt, ob wir kostenlose Eintrittskarten für eine Bootsmesse möchten). Zugang zum Wasser (für alle Mieter der Villa) ein Traum, wir waren meistens alleine (Mitte September). Badezimmer durch Natursteinverkleidung gewöhnungsbedürftig, da immer wieder Staub davon abfällt und es dadurch nicht sauber wirkt.

Wonderful time at sea
Deze gezellige en schone vakantiewoning ligt op een idyllisch plekje met prachtig uitzicht op de baai. Het mooiste onderdeel van dit verblijf is de privé steiger aan zee, die heel goed te bereiken is met een goed onderhouden pad met trappen. Het dorpje Portovenere ligt op een half uurtje wandelen van het huisje. Dit dorpje is absoluut een bezoekje waard, prachtige straatjes, mooie burcht met uitzicht op zee en gezellige restaurantjes. Het huisje is heel netjes verzorgd, er is vooral veel aandacht besteed aan details die het verblijf aangenamer maken, zoals een extra vriezer, kleine hulpmiddelen zoals een kaasschaaf en zout, zelfs koffie en filters waren aanwezig. De bedden zijn heerlijk stevig en er is ruimte genoeg voor 6 personen. Het contact met Bibi was heel laagdrempelig en aangenaam. Kortom we hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf, heel erg bedankt Bibi!
