White dreams

Beautiful property, excellent facilities, in the perfect location in fantastic Portovenere. One minute walk from the harbour with lots of excellent cafe's and restaurants. Francesca was the perfect host - recommending great restaurants and responding quickly to any queries. An ideal apartment for a couple or a family - highly recommended.

Nothing - it was all excellent.

Apartment is perfectly located in town square and when you step out the door you are surrounded by shops and eateries. It is architecturally designed and is amazing and everything was very clean and beautiful. Francesca was very helpful and went out of her way to be a perfect hostess.

There was nothing that we didnt like.

The apartment is beautifully renovated and in a great location just minutes from the port and on the main street of Porto Venere. Everything is literally on your doorstep. You open the door onto the main street one side and the window overlooks the port the other side. Francesca (our host) was amazing. She helped us with our luggage and responded immediately to any queries we had, giving us some great recommendations of where to eat etc. Porto Venere is a beautiful little town in itself and great base to visit the Cinque Terre.

That we had to leave!

One of the best experiences i ever had in Italy. The apartment is a jem. Francesca is a magnific host, he was always available and worked hard in order to make us feel at home. The apartment is in the position possible in Portovenere, right after the old town door. There was so nice details, as tea, nespresso coffee and other amenities. Private parking is a must if you came by car. I ll came back here anytime! Bravo

Nothing

Francesca's apartment is stylish, comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly located in the old section of Portovenere. It comes with a private parking space, a real rarity in this town, about a ten minute walk from the apartment. Francesca herself was a delightful and considerate host. She helped us with restaurant reservations and drove us back to our car with our luggage upon departure. Portovenere itself is well worth a visit as a less-crowded alternative to the Cinque Terre towns, which you can get to by ferry, just around the corner from the apartment, or via the hiking trails that start in the piazza a minute away. Not a criticism, but like probably all the homes in the old streets of Portovenere, the apartment is fairly narrow and is on two floors, with a somewhat steep staircase in between. Just something to be aware of.

Amazing location, very cosy modern apartment, the hosts were great

The cooker didn’t work (however for us it wasn’t problematic as we planned to eat out anyway). It would also be great to have more shelves in the bathrooms and inside the shower (as the sink is designed in a way that you can’t even put a toothbrush on it).

White dreams is a very comfortable contemporary apartment, located in the heart of Portovenere. The apartment is very clean and well maintained, equipped in good taste with everything you could possibly need for a perfect vacation. In addition to top quality appliances, the kitchen is well stocked with basic ingredients. What made our stay in White Dreams so special was our hostess Francesca. Before arrival she promptly answered our questions and it was clear from initial communication that she would be an exceptional host. The flat is located in a pedestrian zone, Francesca met us at the apartments private garage, located 500 meters from the flat and transported us and our luggage to the apartment. She gave us excellent recommendations and helped with dinner reservations, calling restaurants to make sure they could accommodate special dietary requirements. Francesca went out of her way to make our stay extremely comfortable. She was available throughout our trip and provided an immediate solution to a problem we had with one of the appliances. We highly recommend staying at White Dreams and Portovenere.

This was the coolest place I've stayed at. The apartment was absolutely perfect and bright. Lots of attention to details here. There were ocean views from the windows. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was footsteps from the harbor so we didn't have to walk far from where we were dropped off. By the way, Francesca who is the host, is the kindest and most sweet and genuine person we met. I want to stay again just to see Francesca. Francesca had time and offered to pick my cousin and I up from the train station in La Spezia and she also dropped us off was well. She refused any payment. When I write this, it is to show gratitude for our gracious host. I hope no one takes her for granted. The apartment has a washer and dryer and so nice I didn't want to leave to visit the Cinque Terre. In fact, when I visit again I will just stay in Portovenere and maybe take a sunset cruise to see Cinque Terre. Portovenere itself is a gem. Also, Federico, Francesca's business buddy gave us the keys and showed us the apartment in person. He gave us excellent dining recommendations and we had the best dinner in Italy at Torri di Venere. Communication was excellent from our host since I had trouble working the TV remote but that was my fault. My cousin and I cannot say anything bad about White Dreams. We will be dreaming about this entire experience we had and can't wait to visit again. Thank you Francesca and Federico. Grazie Mille forever.

There was nothing bad about White Dreams. We absolutely loved our stay.

The host Francesca was amazing. She offered up 2 garages for us which we would have really struggled without and booked us a restaurant when we arrived late on our first night. We were delayed travelling to the property and Francesca was really helpful and accommodating to us despite this. Would definitely recommend.

Beds were a little bit firm and the upstairs air-conditioning was not working fully. It really did not impact our opinion of our stay. We loved it.

Francesca the host was fantastic- always available for any help needed. The location was great- right outside the door were the shops and it was near all the restaurants. The apartment was beautiful with high end kitchen appliances. It had a great view of the harbor.

The only suggestion would be a shade on the bedroom window facing the harbor. It was a beautiful large window but it let a lot of light in at night since there was a lamp outside of it.
