Luxury Holidays At Grand Hotel Portovenere

Housed in a former 13th Century convent in the charming town of Portovenere, Grand Hotel Portovenere is a picture-perfect hideaway in one of Italy’s most charming locations. Overlooking the ‘Bay of Poets’, the views from the windows are enchanting, with the characteristic painted houses and sparkling waters forming a beautiful backdrop. With a simple yet relaxing ambience, the hotel is the perfect base for exploring both Portovenere and the nearby Cinque Terre, which you can reach on a boat which departs from the dock across the road every morning. One of the highlights of the hotel is its fantastic food at the restaurant, which is served on the terrace with mesmerising views, though the town of Portovenere also has plenty of dining spots to enjoy, too.

Property Highlights

keyboard_arrow_left

Culture & History

Grand Hotel Portovenere overlooks the charming village of Portovenere, which is also referred to as the ‘Bay of Poets’ thanks to the inspiration it provided to a number of poets and writers. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the village was originally built by the Romans, and was later inhabited by the Byzantines, Lombards, Genovese and many other historic figures. The hotel itself is set in a former 13th Century Convent, giving its guests a true taste of authenticity. It is also ideally located for exploring the famed villages of Cinque Terre, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can take scenic walks and wander the enchanting streets dating back centuries ago.

Hotel Experiences

Do as the Italians do during your time at Grand Hotel Portovenere and learn how to cook up a feast of fresh pasta, pesto sauce and the famous Tiramisù dessert, plus learn how to filet and marinate fish, and take your recipe to recreate your dishes back at home. Led by the hotel’s Executive Chef, Francesco Parravicini, you will also enjoy a tour of restaurant’s kitchen. You can also take a unique boat excursion around the oyster farms of La Spezia with an expert guide, plus enjoy an oyster aperitif with white wine and local focaccia, or venture out to the vineyards of Azienda Agricola Possa to meet the artisan wine producer Samuele Heydi Bonanini. Take a tour and taste the renowned Sciacchetrà of Cinque Terre.

Luxury Beach

Grand Hotel Portovenere is partnered with the Sporting Beach Club, which is located just a few minutes away from the hotel. Its shingled shores face the beautiful Palmira Island and are approximately two-hundred meters away, where sun beds are available to hire.

Spa Breaks

The hotel's spa, Portovenere Wellness, offers a selection of facials, massages and body treatments to offer a haven of relaxation. Working with natural Italian products, you can unwind with an aromatic massage or ease your muscles with a sports massage. For a pick-me-up, sit back for a purifying, illuminating or regenerating facial or leave your whole body feeling silky smooth with an exfoliating treatment to help circulation and brighten your skin.
