The Grand Hotel Portovenere is an exclusive boutique hotel housed in a former Convent of San Francesco dating back to the 17th century, located in a position of incomparable beauty on the waterfront of Portovenere, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Overlooking the Gulf of Poets and Palmaria Island, the hotel offers a perfect blend of Ligurian ancient history and modern, luminous design, making it an ideal base for exploring the nearby Cinque Terre.

The Palmaria Restaurant is the culinary highlight, noted for its panoramic veranda offering breathtaking views. The restaurant serves innovative Mediterranean and Ligurian Cuisine, based on fresh fish and local specialties, with options for celiac guests. The Venus Bar and its terrace are the ideal spot for a sunset aperitif. The rich buffet breakfast, featuring local and organic products, is served on the panoramic terrace.
