B&B Portobello is a family-run property occupying a historic building in the centre of Sestri Levante, just 20 metres from the beach of Baia del Silenzio, one of the most photographed spots on the Riviera di Levante.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, feature a wardrobe and private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bathrobes, hairdryer and toiletries: an essential yet complete base for those seeking a seaside stay without giving up comfort. The Double Room, more compact, is designed for couples, while the Suite with 2 Bedrooms offers space for families or small groups with views over the town.
The B&B provides a free shuttle service, much appreciated by guests arriving without a car, and a common lounge for relaxing. The central location makes it possible to reach the railway station, the village’s restaurants and the beaches on foot in just a few minutes, while Cinque Terre National Park can be reached by car in about 42 km. A convenient base for exploring the Tigullio area, including by bicycle.
B&B Portobello offers two types of accommodation designed for different needs, both featuring air conditioning, a private bathroom and particular attention to detail, such as bathrobes, hairdryer and toiletries provided in every room. The Double Room, 14 sqm, is the cosier option, ideal for a couple looking for a comfortable pied-à-terre near the sea, while the Suite with 2 Bedrooms, 22 sqm, is aimed at families or groups of friends thanks to two separate rooms each with a double bed.
Both options enjoy views over the town and surrounding points of interest, a detail that conveys the character of Sestri Levante’s historic centre even from inside the property. The suite, in particular, offers a bathroom with shower and bidet, tiled flooring and a tea and coffee making set, making it more suitable for longer stays or for those seeking more independence than the standard double room offers.
