Lovers'
Nest is a private apartment with unique breathtaking view on
The Poets' Gulf, Palmaria Island and St. Peter’s Church in Portovenere.
It is located in Portovenere, in the area called "Il Cavo",
which is about 10 minutes walking along the panoramic street
from the village centre. There is a frequent shuttle bus service
to the village centre for those who do not want to walk a lot.
The apartment can be reached both by steps or by a lift that
serve all the other apartments of the complex, built on a cliff
perched on the sea. Even though there are several apartments
in this complex, the peculiar and wise construction of these
buildings allows them to keep their privacy. The house is surrounded
by luxuriant
Mediterranean trees, so that
even reaching the house can be an inebriating experience.
Once you reach the apartment, you enter a long corridor that
serves as recovery for all the item you usually carry from the
beach. Then you meet a nice terrace with barbeque and a small
outdoor kitchen. On these terrace you find also a dining table,
a small open air shower and a closed cabinet for the laundry
with washing machine.
From the terrace, that runs around the apartment and gives you
a wonderful panoramic view, you enter the sitting room plus small
dining room with big windows openind on the panorama...
The apartment has also 1 small but complete kitchen, 1 master
bedroom and a small bedroom with a bulk bed and a bathroom. Both
the rooms have direct, independent access to the bathroom.
There is a warm parquet on the floor and electric heating for
the winter season.
From the house you can reach the sea going down some steps. There
you can find a small dock from were you can dive or depart with
a hired boat (that’s the best!). Upon request boat hiring rates
or escorted boat tours are available.
The owner has nicely furbished the property. She cares a lot
of it and she prefers not to rent it to families with children
under 10. We dare say the property is ok for a couple (the place
is so romantic) or for families with one or two teen-agers.
From the apartment, just going down a few flight of stairs,
you can reach a private small pier: if you are a good swimmer
you can plunge into the water from there - the water is
just wonderful! If you like, you can even rent a boat and depart
directly from here for your daily sea excursions to the discovery of this enchanting coastline
(the house has its own private buoy).
For those coming by car, the property has also a private fenced-in parking spot (hard to
find in Portovenere).
From the house you can either walk down the hill to the
beaches or take shuttle buses departing a few meters from
afar the parking area anyway going down the hill it is
not a big deal; it is a pleasant walk along the road. You
may consider to take the shuttle bus on going back home
after the day at the beach. Bus tickets can be bought locally.
The first beach is about 800 mtrs with
swimming pools and terrace, equipped with sunbeds. Close
to it there's a small public beach with no services.
Then, walking along the promenade, you find 2 er beaches:
one belonging to the Royal hotel (you can pay the access
+ sunbeds, umbrellas etc) and then a public one that is
managed by the city hall and you can rent sun beds and
umbrellas.
From Portovenere pier boats depart that can take you to
the Palmaria island or the Cinque Terre.
Not available in August.
