Hotel Della Baia

Everyone there was friendly , made you feel at home. The girls at the Front desk were great Polite and helpful. I have no complaints.

Not in main portovenere area despite address so$$$ to go there, far from train station Toilet didnt work staff helpful but not a 4 star room. Jackhammers making a promenade. No view. Booked thru *******.

Great place to stay for a couple of nights. We booked a double room with sea view, looked out over the really pretty Marina. There was a balcony but it was very small and only room for one person to sit so we couldn't really use it. The room was comfortable and clean as was the rest of the hotel. Sockets were a little odd and wouldn't hold an adaptor plug, the mini fridge in the room kept going off as the plug sagged out of the socket. All of the staff were really helpful and friendly. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice. We ate in the restaurant one night too and the food and service was excellent, mainly seafood. Overall we would recommend, good value for money and a great base to explore the area.

This hotel is amazing. It's location is on the shore of the beautiful bay or Le Grazie overlooking all the boats and the village and mountains beyond. The checkin was welcoming and straightforward. The staff are pleasant and professinonal. The room, though small, had a lovely private ground floor terrace with furniture, overlooking the sea, which is only across the road. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom, again small, but had everything required. There was a TV, Tea/Coffee and a fridge. The air con was very effective. Breakfast, which is served in the restaurant, is waiter service and consisted of plenty of fruit, cakes, pastries, ham/chese and delicious coffees made by an excellent Barista. In the evenings dinner is served by the sea, across the road. Outside, the pool is excellent and is of a good size with an ambient temperature. The hotel was busy, so sun loungers were in short supply. Much of the time, there is a pool attendant/life guard in attendance. You can walk around the bay to shops and restaurants. There is no private parking available, so you park on the road and also a disused football pitch. Download the EasyPark app to pay €11.50 for 72 hours parking. We will definately revisit this hotel in the future. Thank you and well done to all staff.

Our third stay at this hotel and as ever we leave feeling relaxed and well looked after. This hotel has the most beautiful views of any we have stayed in. It is picture perfect Italy. Rooms are basic but spotlessly cleaned every day, in fact the whole place is very well maintained. The pool area is large but never gets busy, some days we had it to ourselves for mornings (and this is July!). Le Grazie has a few nice bars and restaurants but hop on the public bus and 5 minutes away is Portovenere with all its holiday bustle, superyachts and gateway to the Cinque Terre. We love the fact it is so close yet we can retreat from the crowds to this lovely art hotel haven at the end of the evening. Boat hire from Boatable excellent also to get out on the water. For a 3 star hotel with very competitive prices this is a real gem.

My husband, daughter and I have spent a long weekend here and it has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Well technically, we haven’t left yet but I wanted to write this review whilst I can! We wanted to stay somewhere that was traditionally Italian. Where do we start? Firstly, let’s start with check in, we were greeted by two lovely ladies and to our surprise we could check in early as our room was ready, a welcomed benefit as our daughter was due her nap! The room: we personally thought it was lovely, a very traditional Italian room with a fantastic balcony over looking Le Grazie, the shower was brilliant and so powerful! The staff: wonderful! They couldn’t do enough for you, from Giovanni being the most fantastic waiter so professional yet welcoming. A special mention to the twins - Gloria and Laura who worked tirelessly and who really impressed us with their English. The food: oh. My. Word!!!! - DELICIOUS!!!! We have eaten at a variety of establishments and this is up there - you have to try for yourself!! The pool was so peaceful and tranquil and hardly ever busy. The area: Le Grazie is a quiet place which was perfect for us we enjoyed walking round in the morning. For anyone wanting an abundance of eateries and bars this may not be the place for you, however, Portoverne is a short bus ride away and the hotel sell the tickets for this (€2 each way) Most importantly the thing we won’t forget about Hotel della Baia are the little details (which mean the most): - My husband is gluten free and at every moment the effort was made to accommodate this from making tweaks to the menus to every morning coming down and there is a basket full of gluten free options on our table. - To always smiling and making an effort with our little girl - the highchair always being ready or colouring being placed on the table - With my bread I like to have olive oil and balsamic and the staff always remembered and had this on our table Overall, regardless if you are a family or not you need to visit Hotel della Baia! Thank you all!
