Find inspiration at Grand Hotel Portovenere. This converted 16th-century Franciscan monastery sits at the direct point where the UNESCO-designated Cinque Terre meets the celebrated Gulf of Poets. Simple, modern decor and a soft palette create a soothing ambience in the 46 rooms; the higher the floor, the better the pinch-me views over the sea and Palmaria Island. Soak it all in over Rossinis on the Venus Bar’s veranda or contemporary regional fare in the restaurant. You can join the chef for a pesto-making class, visit oyster farms in La Spezia, or delve into the area’s viticulture.
