Porto Venere hotels and hostels
Hotel Paradiso
Albergo Genio
From Piazza Bastreri, scale the spiral stairs in the round tower to reach this charming seven-room hotel. In summer breakfast is served alfresco beneath the vines, and some rooms are equipped with air-conditioning.
Locanda Lorena
Situated on the island of Palmaria, this place has a delightful restaurant and rooms – call for more information, and for them to send their boat over.
La Lanterna
Down by Porto Venere’s picturesque harbourfront, this little guesthouse has just two airy rooms (there’s also an option of a four-person apartment on request). Breakfast isn’t included, but can be arranged; otherwise stroll to a nearby cafe.
