Portoverde Beach

What is so beautiful in the pictures so ugly it is in reality. The apartment is chilly and cold in decor. In the living room is a sofa, a TV unit with TV and a dining area, and that's it. The glass table is an extension table, unfortunately the extension part has apparently already fallen. The edges of the dining area are rusty and dirty. The kitchen is in need of renovation. Actually, there's not much good to say. The environment is already decaying. Many buildings have long since closed and also look dilapidated. There are very few shops open. The pool is already as quiet as the shops, there is not much to do. Very unfortunate because we were so excited.

A disappointing stay at the Portoverde Beach Apartments. The swimming pool is located alongside residential apartments where you are given access, although this is not where you will stay. Accommodation 400m-750m away on the other side of the marina and bears little resemblance to the professional interior photos of nicely furnished rooms. You are advised at check in not to operate the different appliances at the same time to avoid tripping the electric (e.g Aircon & washing machine). Pros - Very good check in service - Excellent marina views from the main balcony. - Excellent bars & restaurants around the marina. - Access to a good sized pool & plenty of beds. - Secure underground parking Cons - Located at the other side of the marina to the pool & beach. - Marina buildings are run down - Apartment backed onto railway line with loud overnight trains. - Very sparsely furnished. - Thin, uncomfortable, camp bed style mattresses on the beds. - 3* accommodation at best

Being in a harbor, with a lot of nice bars, gelateria's, pasticceria's, pizzeria's and restaurants, close at sea and wot Cattolica and Ricccione close by too, the location is outstanding. The beach and sea are one of the best spots at the whole Adriatic coast as far as our experience goes. No mosquitos! The staff is very helpful and the bicycles make your stay the best possible. However, renting a 3 story villa we did not expect one of the four beds to be on the ground and, last but not least, the wifi was working very bad. All in all, we were VERY satisfied!
