Grand Hotel Portovenere in Le Grazie

Historic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort at Grand Hotel Portovenere

Grand Hotel Portovenere, an old monastery spot, makes a fine stay in Portovenere. Ever heard of a 17th-century sleepover? Well, here you can. The terrace? It’s got that view thing going on, with the port and Palmaria Island doing their best to impress. Rooms? They’ve got the cool air, WiFi that isn’t sluggish, and TVs with more channels than you can shake a remote at. Some rooms even let you play spot-the-boat from your window. Bathrooms come with those things you need—bathtub, shower, hair blower, toiletries. Maybe not all at once, but close enough.

Breakfast at the hotel is an affair on a terrace where you might spill your coffee from excitement—panoramic views tend to do that. The hotel restaurant serves fish that probably knew the ocean until yesterday. Cinque Terre dishes add to the menu for a taste of the region. If you're feeling posh, private boat tours are up for grabs—though you might have to argue with seagulls for the best seat. The hotel is rated 9.8 for solo travelers, which means if you're flying solo, you might just have found your perfect travel buddy. No promises on the snoring, though.
