The view of the water and proximity to the beach are the highlights of the property. We really were not comfortable in this space primarily due lack of cleanliness and the furnishings.

Great location and amazing views
My family of four (includes two middle school aged children) had an incredible time in Portovenere. The flat is within walking distance of all of the shops and restaurants but far enough away that you can appreciate the quiet and breathtaking views. The beach is literally across the street which was really convenient. We spent most of our day away from the apartment, but it had all the amenities you would need. The second shower is actually not in the flat but up on the second veranda (yes, there are two balconies) but we actually liked using it as it still felt private and was more spacious. The hosts were responsive to any questions and made check-in and out very easy. The flat is on the smaller side but if the weather is right, you will want to spend most of your time on the veranda taking in the amazing views or out and about enjoying the city. There are also a lot of steps to get up to the flat so depending on age of kids or and any issues with stairs, just know there are quite a few steps to manage. Great experience overall.

Perfect location
This was the perfect spot for our family of four to stay in Portovenere. It’s just a short walk down to the public beach, or into town, but it feels still feels like a peaceful retreat. We loved sitting on the patio watching the boats below us. Portovenere is a great place to stay if you are considering visiting Cinque Terre; a boat departs from Portovenere and a daily pass will enable you to stop at all of the towns except Corniglia (which is on a hill without a dock). It’s also a lovely place to spend a few days swimming, walking up to Castle Doria and San Pietro, and enjoying the restaurants. The house is not big, but has everything you need to be comfortable, and Sandro and Patrizia were very responsive and helpful. (If I had one request to make, I only wished for an espresso machine in the kitchen.). We greatly enjoyed our stay.

Prime Portovenere overlooking the Ligurian Sea
We were 2 moms and 3 sons- and had the most delightful stay here. Sandro was quick to respond to all, met us personally at the property . The condo is well appointed with 1 bedroom facing the sea and another with 2 bathrooms & small kitchen , but the best is the terrace!!! we spent hours looking at the boats, ships, yachts, coming and going. This is a GREAT option to stay and experience Cingue Terre without all the people. We will go back and stay longer next time. Thank you Sandro! Ciao a& arrivederci!

Beautiful view from the serene and relaxing terrace
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Fiorita. Sondra was a gracious host in showing us around the property and making some grocer and restaurant recommendations. It had all the amenities we needed. We spent most of our time at the villa enjoying and relaxing on the beautiful terrace. As other reviewers noted, the villa's location is perfect for accessing the beach and swimming as well as restaurants and the port for a boat trip to the Cinque Terre. Our only regret was that we hadn't booked the villa for longer than our 3 night stay. This ranks as one of our favorite of the many, many vacation rentals we have stayed in over the years and would definitely book again if we return to Italy.

Amazing in all aspects
What a beautiful property and the location couldn’t be better...a short walk to town, incredible views, everything you could possibly need within 5 minutes (including delicious aperol spritz’s around the corner). Sandro and his wife could not have been more welcoming and lovely. We are a family of 5 with 3 grown children - and there was plenty of room. It was hard to leave!! Grazie Mille, Sandro!!

Wonderful non touristy spot very walkable
This location was perfect for our 4 night visit. We were able to walk into the village and shop, as well as take a boat to see all of Cinque Terra. There are 3 restaurants nearby recommended by the host and we tried one in the village for a fabulous dinner and the one closest by for dessert one night which was amazing. Our washing machine was broken and Sandro had a repair man sent the very next day - and let us use his brothers place downstairs for Laundry in the meantime. His English isn’t perfect but he communicated very very well, and was very responsive over text and email. We used the lovey space upstairs to play cards, lay in the sun and have dinner. Hands down amazing experience

Nice place on quieter end of town, arranged parking which was helpful. Weather was not great, but suspect this place is even better on warmer/sunny days. Owner went out of his way to mail a watch that we had left behind to Rome so we could pick it up at a future destination.

Relaxing stay in beautiful Portovenere
We had a chance to make most out of the autumn sun by staying in Sandro's beautiful apartment. Apartment is literally situated next to water on a quiet residential area within walking distance from the town centre. Dealing with our host Sandro was hassle free and it was worth of paying for a private parking especially if you're traveling with rental car.

Very nice place. Friendly hosts. Good location.
We loved the location and the apartment. Sandro was a gentleman and very friendly. It was located just outside of the Cinque terre towns but was still on the path the ferry used so it was easy to get to the towns. It was overall hot during the day and into the evening. Since it was on the water it cooled off nicely. However, the only way to keep cool was to leave the doors open at night which then allowed mosquitos to come in. With screen and fans this place would be perfect. We cooked several meals. The kitchen had everything we needed and we ate on the balcony together with beautiful views. The washing machine was great and the beds were comfortable for us. The hosts were very friendly.

Amazing place!
This was the most wonderful apartment in Portovenere. The patios overlooking the water were amazing. There was a large one just outside the main living area. Then another large one up the stairs (There is also another shower room off this patio), and the property just keeps going up with more little shaded grassy areas - all to ourselves. Sandro was very kind and helpful and willing to do anything to help us during our stay. He left pastries for us for our breakfast but they were so good, they never made it to breakfast. Sandro's brother lives below but we rarely saw him. He was also very warm and friendly. The apartment is only a few minutes walk to town along the shore but it is away from the main tourist area so it is quiet and relaxing. After a long day of hiking and sightseeing in Cinque Terre, it was nice to get away from the crowds and relax on our patios. This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in!

Such a beautiful side-by-side location. Our experience from start to finish was easy and wonderful. Sandro and his wife meet us at the house. Very helpful. Fabulous location, a more secluded locals neighborhood away from the more tourist area. All of Portoverne was stunning. Easy to use ferry to other villages. It's on older area ( Italy) so don't expect a luxury house. But we totally loved it. Thank you Sandro.

Wonderful
We arrived to be welcomed by Sandro and his wife, they showed us through the apartment to let us know how everything worked, it is a lovely clean welcoming villa but our favourite spot was the balcony, we sat on the balcony for hours, we swam at the beach just across the road, it is just a short walk to the supermarket and to the boat that takes you to the Cinque Terre, the whole area is beautiful, we only regret not staying longer, we had 3 memorable nights in Portovenere. Do yourself a favour and stay here, even though we should be keeping this place a secret.
