Views Over La Spezia
The Grand Hotel Portovenere balances monastic history with contemporary sophistication. While the original stone façade remains, interiors have been transformed into bright, airy spaces filled with neutral tones, natural textures, and refined furnishings. Each of the 46 rooms and suites is thoughtfully designed to embrace the outdoors, many featuring French balconies or terraces that open onto vistas of the harbor, the Gulf, or the winding medieval streets. The design intentionally remains understated, allowing the surrounding natural and architectural beauty to shine.
A TASTE OF LIGURIA FROM ABOVE THE SEA
At the heart of the hotel’s culinary experience is Palmaria Restaurant, a refined Mediterranean eatery perched above the water. With a terrace that seems to float above the sea, guests dine while soaking in uninterrupted views of the marina and Palmaria Island. The cuisine is deeply rooted in Ligurian tradition, reimagined with seasonal ingredients and a creative touch. Local wines and Italian labels complement each dish, while the Venus Bar offers the perfect setting for aperitivos at sunset. Every meal becomes an experience—elevated by both flavor and setting.
AUTHENTIC LUXURY, PERSONALIZED HOSPITALITY
From its peaceful wellness center to its scenic terrace lounges, the Grand Hotel Portovenere offers moments of calm and indulgence. Its private access and prime location make it an ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre, just a short boat ride away. Guests can arrange guided hikes, boat tours, or cultural excursions through the concierge. What truly defines the experience, however, is the warm, multilingual team that offers thoughtful, personalized service for every kind of traveler—from romantic escapes to family getaways and elegant coastal weddings.
At Grand Hotel Portovenere, history and hospitality blend seamlessly, inviting guests into a slower, richer rhythm—where life is measured in sea breezes, golden light, and unforgettable views.
