Savour Mediterranean cuisine at Palmaria Restaurant, where you can dine on the terrace while (yet again) taking in views of the bay or in the sunlit dining room which features decor inspired by nautical elements. Spend quality time with your travel companions while sipping cocktails at the Venus Bar, or learn to make fresh pasta and Tiramisu in a cooking class led by the restaurant's executive chef. When you’re ready to relax, you can visit the nearby spa with which the hotel has partnered, Portovenere Wellness, to sip a cup of herbal tea in the relaxation area, work out in the gym, unwind in the sauna, get a manicure or make arrangements to have a soothing massage in the comfort of your room.
The hotel is just a five-minute walk from the ruins at Castello Doria, ten minutes from the picturesque Church of Saint Peter perched atop its rocky cliff and two minutes from the Passeggiata Aldo Moro walking path that runs along the shore. The ferry terminal is just a three-minute walk away, making it easy to reach popular destinations such as Cinque Terre, Rapallo, La Spezia and the Parco Naturale Regionale di Porto Venere.

Various views
The Suite overlooks the Gulf that has enchanted Poets and Painters from all over the world and from which it takes its name. Its uniqueness consists of a series of continuous horizontal windows, whose view embraces the beautiful landscape framed by Palmaria Island, the Apuan Alps and the beautiful villages of Lerici and Tellaro in the distance. The view is not lost even from the two bathrooms that make up the Suite, along with a bedroom and a separate living room.
The room has a free-standing tub with a sculpted asymmetrical shape, behind a glazed and transparent wall, made especially by local artisans to allow continuous visual contact with the Gulf. The living area has a glass-walled and transparent shower where guests can appreciate the therapeutic benefits of chromotherapy and at the same time enjoy the privileged view of the Poet’s Suite. The furniture in Italian walnut and the brushed oak flooring enhances the concept of craftsmanship. The counter and comfortable stools make the Suite an ideal place to sip an aperitif or read a book with a magical view of the Gulf of Poets.Lowest rate

Suite del Castello gets its name from Doria Castle, which sits majestically overlooking the village of Portovenere. Composed of one bedroom, a living area and two bathrooms, our suite offers its guests the chance to bask in the warm Mediterranean sun on the room’s 75 sqm terrace while sipping an aperitif.
The colours of Portovenere blend in perfectly with the warm colours of the room and the hand-made furnishings of the bathrooms. The terrace has wooden flooring which brings back memories of the old wooden boardwalks of the Gulf of Poets and the palm trees give it an exotic touch similar to Palmaria Island, which is just across the strait, your panoramic accommodation with sea views near Cinque Terre.Lowest rate
