The apartment is lovely, terrace area overlooks the infinity pool with hills as backdrop and La Spezia port well below. The pool is lovely and well kept, very clean. Great place to get away from the busy Cinque Terre route and relax. Cleaning staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly, not sure about the hosts as we never met them.

Really didn't pick up from the description how far away from La Spezia it is and how 'a car is highly recommended' actually should say 'is the only way you'll be able to access amenities easily'. Without a car you have to use taxis; the distance given to the port is 'as the crow flies' and whilst we're happy to walk we couldn't have walked to La Spezia, it's a good 15 minute taxi ride to La Spezia, costing anything between 12 and 27 euros (with luggage). The bar mentioned in the description was only open one of the nights we were there contrary to the opening hours given by Miramare and the bar itself is more of a social billiards club for the men of the village. The bar owner was friendly but there's no bar atmosphere. Despite saying there's a convenience store nearby, again that's only if you have a car, otherwise it's a 15/ 20 minute walk down a very steep set of steps or on a main road. However once there there's a lovely bakery, with pizza, foccaccia, etc and a local bar.

Top quality fixtures and fittings. Garden and pool area. view.

Local shop has closed. No elevator. No bathroom facilities by the pool.

Fabulous view of the harbour and a large patio to enjoy sipping coffee. The best thing about this place it was away from the crowds of cinque terre. Cinque terre was pretty but the real charming fishing towns are Cadimare and fazzano with delicious local restaurants. we wouldn’t have found these 2 villages without the suggestion of the front desk. Portovenere had more history, charm and beach then any of the five cinque terre towns

The views were gorgeous, the room was clean and updated.

Wifi was inconsistent and location was fairly far from the town. There was parking nearby but none of it was reserved.

great apartment fully equipped modern amazing garden, view, swimming pool

the bed (was broken)

spacious, comfortable, great view. the terrace made our stay.

for those without a car: the Miramare is remote and there are NO stores nearby and only one restaurant that specializes in pizza. be sure to shop for your breakfast needs before heading up. Taxi rides are 20 € each way. Wifi was spotty.

the ocean view

it’s absolutely only for people who have a car. there is nothing around the hotel- it’s in a residential area on top of the mountain, we arrived on Easter Monday, the only restaurant in the area was closed and we had nothing to eat for dinner and there was no any reminder in advance by the hotel. the only way to eat is to take a taxi to go to downtown and it’s very hard to get a taxi- have to call and they are not willing to come, it takes 20 euros for one taxi ride. there is a blue flashing light in the room from the internet box on the high wall so during night the whole room is bright and we couldn’t sleep. the hotel has no personnel to work from 13:00pm. feels more like a air Bnb than a hotel. the room has very heavy painting smell. it’s my worst hotel experiences ever!

The property had beautiful views, and amazing pool and wonderful rooms! I highly recommend the hotel.

The accommodation was fantastic. The view of our apartment was simply exceptional and we truly enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay. Take advantage of the nice pizzeria around the corner, it's worth it.

It is difficult to reach if you don't have a car. The parking in front is well visited so the best would be to park your car and do the rest on foot but the town of La Spezia is quite far (and the parking conditions in town are horrible). Luckily the rooms are very comfortable and it's no problem simply to stay in.

When I read Booking.com reviews, they tend to be lacking because they are standalone and without context. We just finished a trip where we used Booking.com for six stays. We also had five direct bookings. Our Booking.com stays were in Italy (Milano, Genova, La Spezia), Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split) and Paris. Our selection criteria included location, apartment size (60 – 90 sqm), bed comfort, WIFI, washing machine, elevator, coffee maker, bathroom quality. Other nice to haves include toiletries, iron and board, 1st night coffee, breakfast included. All of the places were acceptable, but none checked all the boxes. La Spezia – The location above La Spezia provided great views of the La Spezia harbor and Ligurian Sea. If we did not have a car, access to La Spezia and Cinque Terra would not be convenient. The space was open airy and spacious. We did not need an elevator to access our space. The bedroom loft above the primary space is around 1.70 meters (5’ 8”) tall – a minor problem for a anyone taller. A good space that ranks tied for third out of six.

Amazing location, very calm atmosphere the view was spectacular.

Bed sheets were clean but had some stains which i was uncomfortable about.

The exterior is phenomenal and we had a lovely view.

Quite far from town. If we had a car it would’ve been fine. There is only one pizzeria and bar nearby and it is too far of a walk to town.

The view is amazing, The Studio room is quite big with a little terrase on the roof. The kitchen had it all necesarry items.

no change of towels and bed sheets between the two nights.

The view, gardens and pool were beautiful. Restaurant next door was excellent.

Only 2 coffees for 5 people. No complimentary small milk to make a tea or coffee.

Fantastic views Beautiful pool Bath & Shower Very helpful host

If you don’t have a car/moped, the walk into La Spetzia is between 30-40mins or c20mins with bus (depending on what part you’re visiting). The walk back has a number of steps due to the hill. The bus is a good option if you don’t want to walk, but it seems to finish around 8.30pm (maybe it runs later in main summer), so if you don’t want to get a taxi in the evening, then it’s the walk. Given the amount of pizza and pasta we were eating, this was probably a blessing in disguise!
