I like to live life to the fullest and spend time with loved ones as much as I can. I think life is too short and we must be our best every day. Traveling and seeing the world is my passion. We fell in love with Florence, Italy then again with Portovenere the first time we visited and decided we wanted a seaside home there. We started with one apartment and loved sharing it with others, so we started CaseMaggi. We do hope you enjoy our apartments as much as we do. Hosts do not live on site. We live outside Florence and are frequently in Portovenere, but are available via Airbnb messages or phone whenever needed.

Have fun with the whole family at this stylish beach house apartment. Welcome to CaseMaggi! Our Poets Bay apartment has been remodeled in beach house style. It is a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, with open space kitchen/dining/living area, laundry room, and terrace with sea view. Wake up to a magnificent sunrise! Walking distance to beaches, port, restaurants. The area is a diver and hiker paradise!

Portovenere is the gateway to the Cinque Terre, all reachable by ferry (except winter time). Portovenere and its islands are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Portovenere is easily reached by Train to La Spezia and then a bus or taxi to the apartment. Arriving in Portovenere by automobile is easy but parking can be difficult in high season. Portovenere permits street parking for an hourly, daily, weekend, or weekly fee. We can provide information or assistance with parking on request. (See below on Parking.) Most of our guests who drive to Portovenere park their car for the duration of their stay and use feet, boat, and occasional Giro Bus to visit the area. Giro Bus The Giro Bus stops on the street just below our building and makes stops all around Portovenere. Tickets are purchased on the bus for 2 euro and are valid for two trips on the same day. Parking Portovenere has three zones for street parking: P1, P2, and P3. The zone near the apartment is P3. Street parking is available and free from October 16 to March 14. From March 16 to October 15 the charge for parking in P3 is euro 2/hr from 8:00 to 21:00. In the summer months it’s pretty full so you may have to park at the main parking lot at the entrance of the city, the Golfo. The rates for the Golfo parking lot (10 min walk or 2 min bus ride to apartment building) are 10 euro per day, 20 euro per weekend (Friday through Sunday) and 60 euro per week.
