Breathtaking view over Golfo dei Poeti!
Location, location, location; well, it doesn't get any better than this! My (adult) daughter and I just spent a wonderful week in the Bouganville apartment, and we were truly sad to leave this beatiful spot on earth. The apartment is spacious and very well equiped, you'll find everything there from the little rubber dingy to binoculars and toiletpaper. Clean, brightly furnished and we found it very inviting. Free wifi a big plus, and Bibi, the owner, had made a big folder with heaps of useful information & tips! And then there is the ocean. The incredible blue Mediterranean sea and Golfo dei Poeti right there in front of our noses. We never got tired of looking at the changing coulors of blue, from the silverish surface in early morning, to the deepening blue closer to the horizon and my favourite; the bright, azure - sometimes close to green - colour that during the day covered all of the Golfo dei Poeti. There must be 50 shades of blue in the Mediterranean sea! Fascinating! It's easy to get around, a 20 minutes walk and you are in the senter of beautiful Portovenere, and this is a truly enjoyable walk passing beaches, marinas, bars, restaurants and the occational spot of shady pine trees. If you're not up to walking just jump on the free giro-bus that passes Bouagaville several times an our. Portovenere is a charming little town with it's narrow streets, steep steps and not to forget the beautiful seafront. Walking up to the castle was a lovely experience in it self, but the view from the top really amazing! We went totally crazy with the cameras! My little tip: Move slowly when walking in the streets og Portovenere. Take your time, and take a good look around. Look at the front doors, at the windows, at the house walls. Look down when you're high up, look up when down. Don't miss out on the tiny, little piazzas, the smell of basil and bread, have a Limoncino and coffee, (espresso of course) smile to people and pet the cute, little black Boston Terrier outside the hairdresser. From Portovenere you can take the boat to the islands, the 5 Terre or La Spezia. We took the boat to Riomaggiore, from there there we walked the fascinating Via dell'Amore to Manarolo, jumped on a train to Monterosso where we had lunch before catching a train to La Spezia and bus back to our paradise on the cliffs. No hazzle, no stress, everything runs nice smoothly. Thanks,Bibi! Your lovely Bouganville home in Portovenere is a place you'll like to return to. Soon.

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

Wonderfull seaside Holiday
We had a wonderfull time in this beautiful place. It’s a really nice and quiet place. We could walk to Portovenere, had our own jetty. It was nice to swim and jump in the Mediterranean with nobody around. We would really recommend this place.

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.

Why they chose this property

I was so yang when I have seen Portovenere for the first time, but I am still in love with this magic place. To have a small nest here has been my first thought, and when I saw the unique and astonishing sea view of this cozy apartment ..... total love.

What makes this property unique

The house is near the village but far from confusion. The two large private terraces are perfect for a sunny breakfast, a pleasant and shady relaxing afternoon or a romantic moon light dinner. The sea pier and the scented garden of rosemary, oaks and cluster pines are the privilege that only very few houses have in this area.
