Residence Le Terrazze has taken on the tradition of local buildings and in-fact it could be mistaken for the nearby fishing village of Portovenere with its multi-pastel coloured facade.
It is located on the coast just 1 km from the centre of Portovenere where the ferry services can take you to the lsland of Palmaria and the five villages of the Cinque Terre National Park. The Residence faces the sea and it's right in front of the beach. You can easily walk to the centre of town from here, alternatively the bus service is very good and there is a free shuttle service from the hotel every 10 minutes. This service is only available every day during July and August, and outside of these months it operates on the weekend only.

We spent an amazing week at Residence Le Terrazze. Even though our room was VERY SMALL - which might have been our own fault, as we did not quite understand the room descriptions correctly - it was still a nice week. Amazing view over the water and we could see the town as well. It takes about 15 min. to walk along the water to the town of Portovenere. Good restaurants both in town and on the way. We recommend you go on the sailing trip to Cinque Terre; it is a fantastic experience. Good service at the hotel, the breakfast was ok (typical Italian: Sweets, etc.).
We have travelled with In-Italia before, and prior to the booking we have always had a nice dialogue on our wishes and priorities. That ensures the perfect settings for our vacation.
Le Terazze is towards the west, so there's a lovely shade at breakfast and dinner, and all the sun we could need during the day. The view is wonderful and varying from local fishermen to yachts for millions. There's a public pebbles beach close to the place, as well as access to a private beach (with 3 wooden piers) through a pool area nearby.
Garbage is collected every day, and linen were changed several times, even though they said, they only do it once a week.
La Terazze is recommendable both for couples and families with children of all ages.
Porto Venere is a well-preserved medieval town with small charming twisty streets, which has evolved into a beach town for both travellers and the locals. Even though you meet many different nationalities, the town is still dominated by Italians.
After a week in Tuscany we visited for the first, but not the last, time Le Terrazze. We stayed in a one-room apartment with a big terrace, from where there were the most fantastic view of the ocean. There were a lovey activity on the water from morning until evening. - right from locals, who collected clams, to bridal couples, who came sailing by or cruise ships , which was anchored.
Le Terrazze is a 10 minute walk from shopping, and around 15 minutes of walking from the town.
Our stay lived completely up to our expectations. Both regarding the place, the lovely view, the apartment with the big terrace, the pool, the beach as well as the town nearby.
The staff was very friendly as well as accommodating.
A lovely vacation spot.
Enjoying stay. All things consistent with advertising. Upon our request the personnel readily provided also wine glasses (thanks again). Quite slow internet (especially morning / evening).
