The location was central for waterfront ristorante and lane way access to the grotto.

We were in the room at the very top of the stairs, 89 steps to be exact. So if you have knee or hip problems this is not ideal.

The family who runs Albergo Genio is kind and warm, and we really enjoyed our stay. The location of this little family run hotel is amazing. We had 3 rooms for our family of 6. one was with a balcony facing the square and harbor, with a wonderful view. Another was a large specious room facing the back, but comfortable. The last was a very small tiny room with two single beds, a small window facing the ally. It was right beside our larger room so worked fine for a group stay. It’s a nice little simple hotel

One room was quite small and basic. But it worked for us as it was just an additional room out of 3 in total

the terrasse arrangement and view + location basically on top of the piazza were amazing and the host so very friendly!

the toilet actually. sits in the shower, which is a bit inconvenient.

This hotel was so perfect for us. It’s right in the center of town and features several outdoor spaces from which to enjoy the most amazing view. We loved it !! The rooms are simple and super clean. Our shower was small with great water pressure . All in all we were thrilled with the experience .

Porto Venere and this hotel is dominated by stairs, so if you have troubles getting up and down a few flights. This might not be the place for you.

Big and comfortable room, good bathroom. Great location, in the heart of PV and next to the start of trekking paths. Everything at a nice walk distance. The staff was very kind and helpful; they also allowed me to leave the bags there after the check out for the rest of the day. Quite few steps to reach the room, but is not a downside as the hotel is developed in height and I found it very picturesque.

Maybe the thin wall separating the room from the next one, could hear some noise, but didn't bother us at all as the night was quiet and it was only in the morning and for short time

Good value, simple accommodation operated by a welcoming family team. A prime location over multiple levels, offering great views of the market square and the harbour. Everything that Porto Venere offers is literally right on the doorstep and the manager makes a great Negroni.

As with any central location, there's a level of general street noise coming from restaurants and tourists, along with early morning rubbish and street vacuum-cleaner trucks that keep the town pristine over the summer season. Pack light as there are quite a few stairs and no lift.

Amazing location and unique setup. After finding some problems in the first room it was promptly changed so we ended up in a nice space. A lot of steps were not a problem for us but worth remembering about it before booking. Beautiful part of the world. Good value for money. Rooms are cosy but big enough if you are planning to spend days outside sightseeing and exploring Cinque Terre.

No breakfast, but lovely cafés close by. Wonderful old building on several different levels. Beautiful view from terrace in front of our rooms. Helpful staff.

The only problem, which could not be helped, was lots of steep stone steps to reach our rooms. But it was worth it.

The room was nice and clean, the owner was very kind and accommodating, and the location is great! Our stay was lovely. There are some stairs to climb to get to it, but I would certainly recommend it.

Ivan was super nice and welcoming! Despite some temporary issues with hot water, he made everything possible to help and arrange alternative solution. The location is just unique, with the tower and beautiful terraces.
