Portovenere: House / Villa - Portovenere-Isola Palmaria

Breathtaking view of Portovenere. The house is perfect for two families.
La Vecchia Fornace, also called Casa del Pescatore is a characteristic stone house located on the Palmaria island in front of Portovenere: it is the ideal place for those looking for a house to spend a relaxing period, in contact with the sea, the wind and nature.

The house can comfortably accommodate 8 people and has a 100 m² terrace and garden and is equipped for eating outside. Deck chairs and Relax.
The large terrace, the garden and the spectacular view of Portovenere offer a truly unforgettable holiday. Just go down the stairs to be on the free beach.
At 150 meters there is a beach equipped with sun beds and umbrellas, bar and restaurant.

La Palmaria is part of the Porto Venere and Palmaria Island Regional Natural Park and is an ideal base for visiting the Cinque Terre: Corniglia, Riomaggiore, Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola.
In 1997 Palmaria Island was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The house is located on an island with the pros and cons of being isolated: to go shopping you have to go to Portovenere, but it is simple and fun because the small Ferry goes back and forth every thirty minutes from 8.00 to 20.00 evening.

Amazing!
What an amazing location! Great views. We had a brilliant week, swimming, walking round the island, exploring the town, enjoying good food and gelato! It’s quite a unique place, not cheap, but quite unforgettable. The place is comfortable with lots of seating, sunloungers etc and shaded space as well as the sun terrace. It is generously provided for, so we were able to cook easily and felt very ‘at home’. Many thanks for a great stay! Grazie mille!

Beautiful house and view!!!
My family and I stayed at Monica's house for three nights and it was beyond our expectations. We spent most of our time on the terrace which provided a breathtaking view of the sea and Portovenere. The beach was steps away and we enjoyed the restaurant and cafe which was very convenient. It was easy to get back and forth on the ferry to Portovenere to explore and eat great food. You can do as much as you want or just relax and enjoy the beach and the house. We plan on going back for a week next year. We highly recommend this beautiful property!!!

Traumhafte Lage
Der Titel trügt nicht. Die Terasse ist in der Tat spektakulär. So gross wie die Wohnung selbst mit 180° Sicht über Porto Venere und das Mittelmeer. Die Wohnung selbst ist gut ausgestattet. Nur eine Essmöglichkeit für acht Personen im Inneren fehlt, aber die vermisst man nur bei Regen. Es sollte noch beachtet werden, dass bei Schlechtwetter das Boot zwischen Palmaria und Porto Venere nicht fahren kann. Für solche Tage hat Palmaria jedoch genug Strand und Natur zu bieten.

Wunderschöne riesige Terrasse - einfach eingerichtetes Haus
Der Blick von der riesigen Terrasse ist umwerfend: Portovenere mit seinem Kirchlein - die Sonnenuntergänge - die Motor-, Segel- und Fischerboote. Einfach atemberaubend! Auch die Natur auf der Insel Palmaria ist sehr schön. Zum Einkaufen geht man mit der kleinen Kursschiff nach Portovenere, wo es einen kleinen Supermarkt hat (Überfahrt dauert nur etwa 3-4 Minuten, 2,50 - 3 Euro pro Weg). Es empfiehlt sich, einen Rucksack mitzunehmen, da der Weg auf der Insel vom Schiffssteg zum Ferienhaus sehr steinig ist (Rollkoffer ungeeignet!) Das Ferienhaus ist einfach eingerichtete, gut ausgestattete Küche mit Gasherd und Elektrobackofen, jedoch ohne Geschirrspülmaschine. Kein TV (hat uns überhaupt nicht gefehlt). WLAN ist nicht wirklich brauchbar. Das Wasser in der Dusche und im Lavabo läuft nur sehr schlecht ab. Für ein Ferienhaus in dieser Preisklasse ist das Haus wirklich sehr einfach - das muss man sich bewusst sein, wenn man dieses Logis wählt. Wir würden trotzdem wieder gehen, denn die Lage und die Terrasse sind einfach wunderschön. Kompliment auch an Andrea, der zum Haus schaut: er hat uns am frühen Morgen am letzten Tag mit seinem privaten Boot nach Portovenere gefahren, da so früh für unseren Bus noch kein Linienboot gefahren wäre. Grazie mille!

Wunderschön
Das Haus, die Lage und die Einrichtung sind wunderschön. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und die Terrasse einzigartig. Man kann super wandern und ist in zwei Minuten im Meer. Die Verbindung nach Porto Venere ist auch top. Allerdings ist das Haus nicht gerade abgeschieden. Zumindest im Hochsommer hat es sehr viele Boote und Touristen. Aber trotzdem ist es traumhaft.
