The rooms were quite small but the beds were very comfortable. There are three flights of stairs if you are on the first level, no lift, so be mindful with large suitcases.

The location of Torre a Mare was perfect for venturing into Cinque Terre. A little removed from La Spezia bit there was plenty to do on our days in Portovenere and an easy taxi ride into La Spezia! Martina was a wonderful and attentive breakfast host, and the view from our room to the harbour was magnificent.

Air conditioning unit didn’t work when we arrived, but was quickly fixed.

Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the harbour, with fresh flowers on the tables. Comfy bed and bedding. Kind and helpful staff. Porto Venere is a charming place and you are right in the heart of the old village.

The location was so convenient in Porto Venere, and we had a beautiful view of the water. All the restaurants and shops were within a couple minute walk of the hotel.

The walls between the rooms were thin and we were woken every morning at 7:30am by people preparing breakfast - emptying dishwashers, plates clashing etc. We are late birds and usually don't get up until around 9:00am on holiday. Also, mattress rather hard and lumpy and pillows very 'big' and not very soft - did not sleep well any of the nights we were there

Great welcome and stunning location. Lots of lovely restaurants to choose from and very easy to travel from Porto Venere to explore the rest of the Cinque Terre. We loved coming back to PV in the evenings - lots to explore in the town itself and so much nicer than the hustle of the other Cinque Terre villages. The Torre is right in the centre and very picturesque. Breakfast on the small terrace was nice with fresh orange juice and delicious pastries from the owners bakery.

We arrived on a Sunday after 5:00 PM and had to complete a self-check-in. While the instructions were sent in advance, the process was a bit tricky, and finding a suitable parking spot added to the challenge. It’s worth noting that there’s no elevator, as clearly mentioned in the property description, so be prepared to carry your bags up a couple of flights of stairs.

Porto Venere is a hidden gem, less known and promoted than Cinque Terre. While it can be a bit tricky to reach by car, it’s absolutely worth the effort—and Torre a Mare stands out as the best accommodation in the area. The room we stayed in was newly renovated, featuring a comfortable bed and a beautifully designed bathroom.

The room was a bit small for two adults with bags.

Great location right near the water front with restaurants and bars close at hand. Delicious breakfast on the little terrace overlooking the harbour. Friendly, helpful staff.
