Our 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 75sqm terrace while sipping an aperitif. The colors of Portovenere blend in perfectly with the warm colors 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.

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.

Featuring a panoramic terrace under the arches that belonged to the cloister of the ancient convent, our Junior Suites showcase the beauty and history of Portovenere.

This room is composed by two separate areas. The living area features a sofa bed and a writing desk reminiscent of the historic convent’s Scriptorium, devoted to the writing of manuscripts by monastic scribes.

Located throughout our historic building, Deluxe Rooms are bright and spacious, featuring large windows overlooking the Palmaria Island or the castle and surrounding hills of Portovenere. Every Deluxe room has unique architectural elements, and some include a terrace or balcony.

Offering a sea view, each Double Executive room features a unique space with a sitting area and a full marble bathroom. Only some rooms include a small terrace or a balcony.

Double Classic rooms are located throughout the hotel and have a view of the internal courtyard. Cozy and bright, these rooms include a sitting area and a full marble bathroom.

Palmaria Restaurant is based in a spectacular veranda overlooking Portovenere. You will find yourself inside a sort of contemporary sailing ship that is about to sail towards the horizon: the choice of rubberized teak wood flooring, in nautical style, recalls the ancient technique of caulking, ie the waterproofing of the hulls by the numerous master caulkers of the Gulf of Poets. The cushions, made by a local upholsterer, are yellow, pink and green just like the colors of the houses in the village of Portovenere.

Venus Bar is located under the high-vaulted brick ceilings of the historic building that once hosted the San Francis Convent. This is an ideal place where to have a drink and relax at any point throughout the day. During the warmer months, you can sit on the sea-view terrace and gaze at the beauty of Portovenere and Palmaria Island while enjoying a cocktail prepared by our bartenders.

Refined, panoramic and elegant: Sala Magolia (10 guests) and Sala Moby Dick (20 guests) can host tastings, private dinners and small business meetings. Also, in the Moby Dick Room you can unleash your culinary creativity and passion by joining a cooking course held by Palmaria Restaurant’s Executive Chef. You will have the opportunity to make fresh pasta and pesto sauce, to learn how to filet and marinate fish, and to make Italy’s famous Tiramisù dessert. Once the dishes are ready, you will be able to enjoy your culinary creations at lunch, including Liguria’s classic Trofie al Pesto. You will receive a handout with the information necessary to make what you learned during the course.
