Silvano is the best host I've ever experienced on any platform. The kindest and most welcoming guy ever! The breakfast was amazing that he hand delivered to our room. The view out of the window was incredible and the location could not be better. Worth every penny! Our favorite stay in Italy!

Silvano was absolutely amazing when we got to the town he rushed over to parking and loaded up our bags and got them to the room. He hand delivered breakfast every morning and was one of the nicest people we met all trip.

Silvano is an exceptional host - he arranged parking for our car and met us at the car park with his trolly to take our luggage to L’Ancora B&B, and helped us again when we left. The room was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, great shower and fantastic location. Breakfast was delivered to the room daily and was wonderful - Silvano makes sure you are well looked after and always a smile and happy to help. You would not find a better host or location - thank you Silvano

Great location with a superb view over the sea. A wonderful room with a view to have breakfast served in your room each day! Silvano is an amazing host and very helpful with luggage transfer and anything else you may need. The room is extremely clean and serviced daily.
Nothing to dislike about this place. We look forward to returning one day.

The Host Silvano was a perfect gentlemen. He was in contact with me throughout the reseveration and during the time we spent there. Parking was great at the local public indoor and Silvano carted our bags up to the hotel in pure style. I felt like a celebrity honestly. The rooms were so confortable and Silvano was there for us with anything we needed. Breakfast was an absolute delight as well. I would recommend this location to everyone. Right in the heart of Porto Venere.

This was a sensational Bed and Breakfast but the best bit was definitely the breakfast set up at the window with beautiful views out over the water.

The location was spectacular. An incredible view. Outside our window we looked down at an inviting swimming area (right next to the water polo spot !!). And we enjoyed a lovely swim. Extremely clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Best of all was our warm and accommodating proprietor ! He is a wonderful man !! We would gladly return and will !!

The window was at a perfect height to have breakfast, read or enjoy the view.
The only direct route to Conquer terre was by boat which takes 45 min or going to La Spezia by bus which takes 30 min.

I just wish we'd stayed longer!

The location of this property is incredible!
As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and secure.
Silvio was THE BEST- easy to communicate with before my arrival and he is well known by all the locals - highly respected and he makes THE BEST breakfast!
I will 1000% be returning and spending more time in this lovely property!

Everything! The room was spotless clean and it has everything you need. The location is great with the window looking out to beautiful sea view. Breakfast was exceptional -- tasty and plentiful, so much that we could not finish them. The location is also 10/10. It is situated along the main walking street of the town from which you can easily access all the attractions and good restaurants. Last but most importantly, Silvano (host) is THE BEST! He gave us all the necessary advices and recommendations and is very prompt with his response. There was really nothing that we didn't like about this place!
Nothing about L'Ancora really. If anything, this is more of heads up tbh, the parking exit/entrance are rather narrow and might be challenging for less experienced drivers or if you got big vehicle. But other than that, this hotel is awesome!

Modern room with sea-view at a reasonable price. The owner is extremely nice and the breakfast he prepared for us was delicious and beyond what I could possibly eat. Highly recommended!

The suite was beautifully decorated in a modern understated style. My window overlooked the sea from several stories above the beach. The breakfast was lovely with fresh fruits, yogurt, Nutella and warm croissant. The owner was so helpful in answering my questions and making suggestions for restaurants. He helped me to take my luggage to the port. His staff even did a load of wash for me as I had already been sailing in Sardinia and needed some clean clothes for my next stop in Parma.

Still thinking about this little slice of paradise... Silvano's warm hospitality made us feel immediately welcome and at home. He does a fantastic job of keeping the rooms clean and comfortable and making sure you have everything you need. Breakfast was abundant - sweet and savoury dishes to suit all different tastes. We enjoyed waking up and having our breakfast by the window facing the sea, it was a truly magical experience.
Portovenere is slightly out of the way, but this is what makes it very peaceful and special. It is not overrun with tourists so it does offer a somewhat authentic experience.
I will forever cherish Silvano's friendliness and generosity... it is something that makes you remember a place with much fondness and I hope I have the blessing of visiting again some day.
The ferries were not running due to choppy conditions while we were there so we had to take a bus from La Spezia to Portovenere (not the most convenient). It also made getting to Cinque Terre inconvenient, but I would still choose to stay here over the Cinque Terre islands for the peace and quiet.

We loved our stay at L'Ancora! It is centrally located in Portovenere close to shops and restaurants.
Our room was super clean and comfortable. Breakfast which consisted of pastries, yogurt, and cappuccino was excellent.
Silvano was very accommodating. He went above and beyond helping to carry our luggage to catch a taxi into La Spezia.
We would definitely recommend this establishment.

We loved the B&B L'Ancora and cannot give the location and Silvano high enough praise. It's the prime spot in Portovenere (which we found to be the least touristy and most beautiful town near cinque terre). Silvano was an amazing host bringing us a delightful breakfast of fresh focaccia, croissants, Ligurian sweet bread, cappuccinos, and fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. The room was very clean and freshened up everyday. We already miss the view from our room! Definitely recommend!

This was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had! The host, Silvanno and his wife were amazing! It was like living with a true Italian family! So well taken care of.
The guest rooms were very well appointed, super stylish and modern, beds so comfortable, impeccably clean. Book a room with a view of the water...absolutely beautiful. The breakfast and coffee were delicious.
There is nothing bad to say.

we went for our honeymoon and it was amazing! the owner brought us Prosecco when we arrived and he couldnt have been nicer. clean, fresh and a sea view, what could be better?

L' Ancora is run by a wonderful Italian family and the host Silvano is an exceptional man. From check in to check out Silvano was there to assist us. The rooms are gorgeous and very comfortable, we were not in the room with the sea view but it was still a bright room with plenty of space, great shower, comfortable bed and lovely breakfast served in the room every morning. Silvano had wonderful restaurant recommendations and was always there to help. We arrived by car and he ensured there was a space for us in the nearby underground parking by the grand hotel, this is not a cheap option but did mean the car was in a safe place for our stay. We very much hope to return one day :)

Perfect location steps from ferry to Cinque Terre, and bus to train station. Silvano was an amazing host. Super friendly, met us at the door and carried all our luggage upstairs (which earned him the nickname Hercules!). Helped us with recommendations. The room was clean and pretty with a beautiful view. Silvano welcomed us with Prosecco and a snack. Breakfast was delicious! We were so sad to leave! Would move in if I could!
