Stone paths winding towards the sea, centuries-old walls, Mediterranean cliffs and the unmistakable silhouette of San Pietro against the blue.

Around every corner, a different perspective on the village of Portovenere... and another reason to keep wandering.

Suite del Castello: a private corner of Portovenere, all to yourself.

This suite is made for slow mornings, sun-filled afternoons and aperitifs as the day begins to fade.

Named after the Doria Castle rising above the village, it features a bedroom, separate living area and two bathrooms, but its heart is outdoors: a private 75 m² terrace framed by Mediterranean light, with Palmaria Island just across the water.

Planning to stay a little longer? Book at least 3 nights in one of our Suites through our official website and enjoy our exclusive Suite Dreams offer, including a special rate, a return boat transfer to Lerici and a €100 dining voucher for Palmaria Restaurant Portovenere.

Throwback to this lovely stay shared by : “We loved Grand Hotel Portovenere during our stay in Portovenere. The town was lovely, the room was large with a beautiful balcony and stunning view, and it was the perfect location to board the ferry to Cinque Terre for the day.”

P.S. This video was taken a few months ago — the crane visible in the distance has since been removed.

One island. Three days. A rare chance to step ashore. ⚓

Set in the Gulf of Poets, this fascinating island is a military zone and remains closed to the public throughout the year—with one very special exception.

Each September, for the Festa di San Venerio, the island opens for just a few days. In 2026, visitors will have the rare opportunity to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site on September 11, 12 and 13, with boats departing from Portovenere and La Spezia.

It’s a chance to discover a place where nature and history have remained beautifully preserved: holm oaks and Mediterranean vegetation, falcons circling overhead, the ruins of an ancient monastery and the island’s 19th-century lighthouse.

And, above all, to learn the story of San Venerio—the hermit monk who once lived here and, according to tradition, lit fires to help guide sailors safely through the Gulf.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit it!

What if your next weekend away took you to the Italian Riviera? ⚓

Portovenere is made for a memorable weekend escape: mornings wandering through the historic caruggi, lunch overlooking the harbour, walks to San Pietro and Byron’s Grotto, boat trips across the Gulf of Poets, and perhaps a day exploring the nearby Cinque Terre.

Easy to enjoy at a relaxed pace and surrounded by some of Liguria’s most beautiful scenery, it’s a wonderful destination when just a few days are all you need to feel away from it all.
