Our family had an amazing stay and this was by far, the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. The location couldn't be better, offering convenience and spectacular views in a beautiful and modern boutique home. What truly made this stay unforgettable was the host's unmatched hospitality and attention to detail from the moment I booked, to our departure morning. Every morning was a highlight, starting with a delicious breakfast of pastries and bread delivered straight from a local bakery. A bowl of fresh fruit was on the table upon arrival and fresh milk, yogurt and eggs were stocked in the fridge along with a generous selection of drinks. Our family felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay and we are so thankful we could experience this dreamy part of Italy. This was a true 10/10 experience, and we hope to visit again!

We chose Portovenere as a base for visiting the Cinque Terre while avoiding the crowds. We had no idea how beautiful it would be, or how much San Pietro Terrace by the Sea would make our stay truly unforgettable. Reserved parking at the entrance to the village, luggage collected, and within just a few minutes we were already on holiday, standing on a breathtaking terrace with St. Peter's Church beside us and the Gulf of Poets stretching out before us. Every morning we woke up to a breakfast basket filled with delicious local products, accompanied by a fresh flower. A simple gesture that says it all: this is a home where every detail has genuinely been designed with guests in mind. The beautiful books dedicated to the local landscapes, history and culture, along with the complimentary San Pietro Terrace branded beach bags, reflected the care that had gone into every aspect of the experience. Our host also arranged a private sunset boat tour for us around Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. Time seemed to stand still as the light changed over the sea and the three islands surrounded us.

This Airbnb was absolutely the nicest place we have ever stayed! The photos don't do it justice. Everything was immaculate, so well thought out and the views from the patio cannot be beat! Most importantly, the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was nothing but perfect. The hospitality that was extended to us was incredible — help with luggage immediately upon arrival, a picnic basket of the most incredible pastries and breads delivered to our doorstep daily, a stocked refrigerator, local recommendations… Truly, this stay was amazing not only because of the unit itself, but the fact that we were treated like family from the moment we arrived is something we will never forget. We loved Portovenere for its beauty and incredible food, but the people and hospitality is something that will stay with us forever. We truly cannot thank you enough for such an amazing stay. The apartment is incredible and your hospitality was above and beyond. We will never forget your kindness.

We stayed at San Pietro Terrace by the Sea as two couples of friends and completely fell in love with it. It is one of those homes where, the moment you walk in, you immediately feel like you're on holiday. It is elegant yet welcoming at the same time, the view is truly spectacular, and every detail has been thoughtfully curated. After spending our days exploring Portovenere and the Cinque Terre, coming back here was always a pleasure. The highlight was enjoying an aperitivo on the terrace at sunset, overlooking the Gulf of Poets with St. Peter's Church right beside us: a view that is truly unforgettable! We especially appreciated the private parking space, the luggage service and the breakfast delivered each morning, with freshly baked croissants, pastries and focaccia from the nearby bakery at Locanda San Pietro. We truly felt pampered throughout our stay. We will definitely be back, and next time we'll stay even longer!
