4. La BouganVilla (from USD 444)
This beautiful villa is probably the best one to stay at when you are holidaying in Portovenere. It looks as flawless and chic as a Pinterest pinup. Equipped with six beds, this spacious house can sleep up to six people and is ideal for big families.
The garden overlooks the sea and you can enjoy coffee lounging on the deck chairs while taking in the picturesque views. A barbeque dinner can also be hosted in the outdoor dining area. The church bells at San Lorenzo can be heard from here. It does have a steep staircase, though, that makes it incompatible with people of reduced mobility.
The terrace is a beautiful place to unwind, watching the sunset while curled up on the cozy lounge equipped with garden sofas. The host recommends Le Bochhe, il Timone, and Albergo Ristorante Paradiso for the food scenes.
