Heaven in Italy
Paola’s apartment was the most amazing place. I’ve never seen a view like this. The town is so charming and the garden area is like living on top of the world. Perfect place for exploring the Cinque Terre by boat while living in a delightful home away from the crowds. Hope to retire soon!

Dream come true
We were blown away by this property. From the moment you turn the antique key to open the green garden door, you wonder how you are so lucky to be in this place. Yes, the steps are a challenge, but there are several paths you can take to make it easier. (backpack luggage) We walked them twice a day. The village is quaint and just far enough from the crowds. We booked “Crazyboats” for a sea view of Cinque terre. Breathtaking!! The beautiful view from this property will forever be etched in our minds. Thank you for hosting us Paola! We hope to return one day.

Beautiful view
Pictures in the listing do not do justice to the view which is magical. The casteau is very clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen for cooking in which we did most nights. The climb up wasn’t as bad as we feared and each day we spent in town where we ate lunch. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Italia Oasis
Our family had an amazing time at Villa Castello. Paola is a wonderful host and the property is absolutely amazing. The home had everything we needed and was steps away from the little town, a swimming area, and trails. We highly recommend if you are looking for the beauty of Cinque Terre without all the crowds!

Wonderful place to relax.
We stayed 7 nights in this beautiful spot that Paola has created. The climb is a little challenging at first but we quickly acclimated ourselves. Our goal was to find a place that was off the beaten path while still giving us access to adventure and Portovenere was the right place to stay as well as the accommodation Paola offers.

Very special location
The location and view of the bay of poets is as unbelievable as it looks on the pics on VRBO. Truly a one of a kind experience staying at a villa carved into the walls of a medieval castle. So, yes it is perched at the top of a medieval village (steep climb with many cobblestone steps) but oh so worth the climb. The small village itself carved into the rocks is so well preserved and inviting. All the people in the shops and homes are happy and welcoming. The entire experience is like a dream. Paola, the villa owner is very accomodating and set up the villa nicely so it is modern inside and with airconditioning but the realy show stopper is sitting outside overlooking the bay of poets. Higly recommend this palce to anyone and everyone...even if you are concerned about the steps...It is worth it!

Excellent stay
Paola is an unbelievable host. She met us immediately upon arriving. The property is amazing. There are three ways to reach it - all on foot. We took the medium and hard ways and made it with relatively heavy suitcases. If you have trouble lifting your bag I would suggest taking the easy route. That said, everything was provided. The property has staggering views and is secluded. Portovenere is better, in my opinion, than any of the Cinque Terre as a base. We loved the experience and will be back.

Incredible stay!
This unique stay in porto venere is such an incredible place. I ditto so many of the previous reviews. The property is gorgeous with the most amazing views. It is a hike to get there and we traveled with back packs, but the hike was worth it, no question. We loved the town of porto venere as well. Our favorite restaurant was portivene. It is easy to take the ferry to the towns of cinque terre. And the local hiking is also great. Honestly this stay will be something we never forgot.

Unforgettable experience
There aren’t enough words to describe how much we enjoined this rental. We knew about the stairs, so we packed light. The views are incredible, the location is perfect. The apartment is well appointed-we had everything we needed, including WiFi. Paola is very responsive and prompt. She met us at the bottom of the castle, escorted us up to the apartment, and showed us how to work everything from the appliances to the outdoor lighting to the cable TV. We loved this place and the town of Portovenere so much that we decided to skip Cinque Terre. The sunrise over the harbor is something I won’t soon forget. The apartment is surrounded by olive trees, shade vines and a vegetable garden. I still done understand how this place is real. Easily one of the most unique and beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The only trouble was parking. Paola reserved us a spot in the public deck but it was incredibly chaotic and frustrating.
