Located on the first floor of a villa with an invaluable landing stage on the sea, this property offers breathtaking views of Portovenere, a UNESCO World Heritage village, Palmaria Island, and Lerici, with the Apuan Alps and the Versilia landscape as a stunning backdrop. This exceptional location provides the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday, allowing guests to experience one of the most striking panoramas of the Ligurian Sea. The apartment is ideally equipped for vacation stays. Its spacious open-plan layout includes a sleeping loft and a twin bedroom, both featuring large windows that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces. Two expansive terraces provide a peaceful retreat, shielding guests from the surrounding hustle and bustle while offering panoramic views of the lush Mediterranean garden filled with pine trees, holm oaks, myrtles, and vibrant bouganvillea flowers. The private park features a picturesque staircase leading directly to the sea, where guests can enjoy a refreshing swim, snorkel, canoe, or sail in the crystal-clear waters.

It was very private, whereas attractions, shops and restaurants, as well as hiking tours, were only a short walk away. The house was just like described on the website. Few others were in the house at the same time, and we were mostly by ourselves by the sea, and always with friendly and respectful people. The place by the sea is the most precious feature of this property. ##### Martin H.

The location was great, the views incredible, and the platform into the sea was such a fantastic bonus. My husband and I stayed there with our two adult children, and it felt like there was enough room for all of us, especially when the weather was nice enough to use the outside seating. We felt really well looked after at check in and knew we could get in touch if there was a problem. We didn't have a car and found the location perfectly acceptable, even with the return walk up a hill after a night out. We would definitely recommend this accommodation, lovely place, well equipped kitchen and lovely people. Thank you :) ##### Charlotte M.

The house exceeded all our expectations – it's beautifully situated and superbly equipped. It was especially great that we had exclusive use of the jetty, which gave the whole place a very special feel.From the very beginning, we felt very welcome thanks to the warm welcome. The hosts are exceptionally hospitable and helpful. The house was spotlessly clean, and the amenities left nothing to be desired. We found the dishwasher and additional freezer particularly useful, which made our stay much easier and provided refreshing ice cubes.We will definitely be back and highly recommend this accommodation! ##### Danny B.

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. ##### Beth B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher S. 18 Jul 2014 #### Great views but could use some updating We loved the view and swimming in the sea off the little dock at the bottom of the steps. The living room is bright and airy, and the kitchen is adequate but lacks some essential cookware and appliances (some small pots with lids, a frying pan or two, a coffeemaker and a tea kettle -- not everyone drinks espresso). The layout is a little strange, with two single beds arranged foot-to-foot in the bedroom and a double bed in a loft above the living room. The beds were not made when we arrived, and the patio could use a little weeding. Also, there is only one, poorly functioning fan (it no longer rotates) in the entire apartment, so that those sleeping in one of the bedroom areas must remain fan-less (and mosquito-ridden as a result). I'd suggest the owner update the kitchen a little, buy some good fans (they're not that expensive), make sure the beds are made before guests arrive, have the place and outside area thoroughly cleaned (some areas were a little dirty) and provide more towels. We had only 4 towels for 4 people staying there four days. Otherwise, a charming little place in a beautiful spot. ##### Christopher S.

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. ##### 2JCAzPqTKYvARzmUrL7+ZKxxIj1jmFoVzO58SWHIcXqz5pu8sMsxqzgGKQ1pNQj6 2. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anita F. 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Sehr schönes Appartement ( in einem Gebäude mit ca. 6 Parteien, trotzdem sehr ruhig. Selten schippern mal Partyboote vorbei ).Es gibt 2 kleine Terrassen mit einem umwerfenden Blick durch Pinien hindurch auf das Meer. Der Steg direkt ins Meer ist Gold wert, da die Strände in Portovenere nicht so groß und zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthalts gut gefüllt waren. Für den Einstieg über den Steg ins Meer empfehlen sich Badeschuhe, da der Grund recht rauh/felsig ist. Portovenere ist ein Juwel mit tollen Aussichtspunkten und schönen Gassen. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt am Objekt gibt es nicht, aber ca. 7min entfernt einen großen Parkplatz für ca. 10 /Tag.Wichtig ist auch etwas gegen Mücken dabei zu haben, da die Stechmücken sehr angriffslustig sind. Das Objekt liegt etwas oberhalb von Portovenere um ins Zentrum zu kommen benötigt man ca. 15 min, ein Spaziergang mit fantastischem Ausblick. Außerdem ein guter Ausgangspunkt um Cinque Terre über La Spezia mit der Bahn zu erkunden. Wir kommen gerne wieder. ##### Anita F.

Für uns war der Aufenthalt sehr schön. Für jeden war etwas dabei. Meer, Sonne, Ausflüge zu Fuß und auf dem Wasser. Das Auto stand die ganze Zeit auf dem Parkplatz. Der Weg in den Ort hätte etwas kürzer sein können und ein paar Stufen weniger zum Meer wären auch schön gewesen. Sonst alles prima. ##### Volker C.

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 ##### Andreas F.

The house has a very nice terrace with a beautiful view, just like in the pictures. It was nice to go down the stairs surrounded by the trees and go swimming off the private dock. Bibi answered quickly to all our questions and gave all the information we needed. ##### Anja P. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ---
