Portoverde Beach Apartments

Great stay, fantastic apartment really clean and as described and the resort has all you need for a good break. The staff were super helpful. The only downside is the outside of the buildings are looking very tired and the pool area needs updating

Being right between Misano and Católica makes the experience unique and full of options to enjoy beaches baths and restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed the free hotel bicycles every day. The apartment was much nicer than what old reviews mentioned.The only issue was the bad surprise due to lack of notice from Wotif that the linen was not included in the price, which added a substantial extra cost to the stay and that the pool was already closed, again poorly stated in the Wotif ad and in the Wotif contract. The staff at Porto Verde explanation was clear, but it would had been perfect if these two things had been clearly stated by Wotif at the time of booking and pre paying.

The property is in a very nice community. We were there in the off season so most of was closed. The condo was comfortable, safe, and clean. The only point that was undesirable was that the bed was very uncomfortable.

Picture is of residential apartments where you have access to the pool. This is not where you will stay. Accommodation 400m-750m away on the other side of the marina, backing on to the railway line. The trains run through the night. The interior also bears little resemblance to the photos. There are no pictures on the walls. No throws on the beds, no cushions on the sofa in fact no soft furnishings at all. You are advised at check in not to operate the different appliances at the same time to avoid tripping the electric! The buildings them selves look run down and in desperate need of a whitewash. The marketing of these apartments is so misleading. Three star at best. The service on reception was however very good and the bars and restaurants around the marina are excellent.

When I booked there was no mention of having to pay 10Euros a day for Air Con usage! The whole complex is in a great location but looks very run down and in need of a facelift.

Room was much smaller than shown on the website Complex very dated Needs a good make over. Apartment located without any sun so the balcony was never used as it was always cold. Local restaurants and bars very good service.

Suitable base for gp circuit as well as riccione, cattolica and Tavullia. Facilities were relaxing and staff all pleasant. Was break in holiday from bologna so great to see greenery water and boats

A self contained resort with about 3 good quality restaurants and a bunch of generic cafes, although a bit pricey for what they are. You will need to walk about 20mins to Misano the nearest town for some more variety, or get a regular bus from close to Porto Verde which only takes about 5 minutes. It's a bit of a pain with a toddler/baby in tow. We were about the only English people there as it's mainly locals that own flats/yachts there, which is a refreshing change. I got by better with my pigeon German than English a lot of the time but as usual pointing at stuff gets the job done. Saying that, the receptionist spoke excellent English and couldn't do enough to help us out. Room was decent, nice balcony overlooking the marina. Depending where your room is the pool can be a bit of a trek, about 10-15min walk but is generally quiet and nice enough, although too cold for my tastes. The beach is also private, and costs €13 for 2 sunbeds and a parasol if you mention you are staying at the hotel, so if you plan on doing a lot of beaching it can add up. There is a public beach a bit down the road which is free, we didn't try it out though. Overall if you don't mind some walking or travelling for stuff to do it's perfectly nice but understand this isn't your typical hotel resort. It's more like an Italian gated community vibe with some nice restaurants but you will get bored if you don't venture out and may find it annoying dragging kids along.

Very comfortable and nice staff. Would love to go again.

We were pleased with the size of the two bed apartment- loved the outdoor balcony. Great view of the marina! The second bathroom did not have a shower or tub, so the other person had to use the one attached to the primary bedroom. Not a problem but awkward. We loved having a washer in the room, but you could not use it and air conditioner at the same time.However, the resort had responsive after hours service when the circuit breaker needed to be reset. The unit had a kitchen and there is an onsite grocery with reasonable prices and good selection. We prepared a few meals but also went to restaurants onsite. Kitchen could have used some paper towels or and dish liquid. Nice shops onsite and an ATM.We paid to use the beach chairs and umbrella and had a nice swim. Very well kept facility. Bikes were provided which was nice because Misano was a short ride away. The staff was incredibly friendly and We appreciated their tips and advice for enjoying the local area. They all spoke English-very helpful. The resort exterior could use a update and grounds maintenance. This did not detract from our stay and we had a nice couple of days here.

Great bars coffee and restaurants around the marina

Lovely room with kitchenette and comfortable bed. Gorgeous view of the marina and everything was very close to walk to

brilliant! and amazing value for money. I'll be staying here again next year for sure. Its a bit of a pain if you arrive after 6pm as you have to wait for the night watchman to give you the keys, but it was only 20 mins wait and he was extremely helpful. if you've got a car then you get a secure single garage to park your car in at no extra cost. highly recommended.

The only problem with the hotel is that we didn't have the heating for 2 days so the nights were very cold.

Relaxing stay in quiet oasis of Portoverde Marina with beach, pool, bars and restaurants all in walking distance; busier resorts of Cattolica and Rimini on your doorstep, as well as Italian culture in the surrounding towns - highly recommended.

family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children ( oldest 12, youngest 2).The office to check in opens at 3 and is situated in one of the shops inside the port. Staff are extremely helpful. Yes, they do charge extra for Linen and A/C (12 euros pppw for linen but you can negotiate a deal for A/C) and a 50 euro deposit which you get back in case you trash the place. 2 complimentary bicycles are also available as is the swimming pool pass. The staff also have a wealth of local knowledge. The beaches are private (about 15 euros a day) but the free ones are 3-5 km away in the car, as is the big co-op supermarket. Things to bear in mind- it's a port, people moor their 2nd homes here so expect to pay more for food and drink. Supermarket ok, not a great choice but more than adequate for your first few days supply. You can buy swim hats here (for the pools) for 1 euro 50. You could always bring your own or pay 9 euros at the door. Noise - well yes, it's a complex outside a busy city with an airport. If you want remote italian apartment full of local culture and rolling hills as views, this place is not for you. Expect to hear planes and train noises. The apartments have electric shutters and they also make a noise. We live in a village with a busy road and under heathrow's flight path. Can't say I could tell the difference much! Wifi: 1 complex,a thousand people, multiple devices.Worked better outside than in. Clean and well furnished

Great apartment although a little early in the season as much of this resort still closed so had to travel to catolica etc for choice of eating etc

We had a wonderful time in Portoverde. It's a lovely quiet marina, close to the busy town of Cattolica. There are around a dozen cafes, restaurants, a mini supermarket, newsagent, gift shops in Portoverde itself, which - for us aiming for a relaxing holiday - was enough to chose from. We also took our 10 and 8 year old to the go karting and the mini kids evening play park in the town. We went to the beach and the sea is very safe - there are some blocks in the sea, presumably to protect against the quiet marina traffic - which work perfectly to keep the waves calm, the water depth is around 150cm, which meant it felt safe to let our kids play on their inflatables, without worrying about them going out to sea or out of their depth. We took day trips to Rimini, and spent a couple of nights in Bologna. Portoverde was very Italian, in as much as most other holiday makers were Italian, who perhaps owned apartments - with no other English speakers there at all in Augus. Made it all seem more holiday like for us. This was our first beach holiday with our kids, and we'd happily return. It was reasonably inexpensive, and more a sitting out at a restaurant/café of an evening kind of a place (although we did notice two 'gentleman's' clubs which seemed out of keeping with the place, and didn't cause any bother to us). Remember to budget for using private beaches - 2 sunloungers and parasol around 75 euros a week (daily rates available).

The website did not provide an accurate view of it's location in respect to the Misano train station. For those tourists not use to living clos to rail lines you would find it quite noisy.
