Location & what to see

La Palafitta is located in the Arenella area, one of the most scenic coastal parts of Portovenere, directly above the small Arenella Beach, just 60 metres from the property. This stretch of coast is characterised by rocky coves and clear waters, with Olivo Beach 250 metres away and Sporting Beach around 400 metres away, both reachable on foot in a few minutes along the stairways and scenic paths typical of the village.

The historic centre of Portovenere, overlooking the Gulf of Poets, is easily accessible on foot, while La Spezia and its central railway station are about 6 km away, convenient for those arriving by train and continuing by bus or taxi to Portovenere. Guests travelling by car will find free private parking directly at the property, handy for exploring the Cinque Terre in the following days. The nearest airport is Pisa Galileo Galilei, about 60 km away.

The location is ideal for those who want to combine sea and culture: the Porto Venere Regional Natural Park is 250 metres away, and the Church of San Pietro, overlooking the cliffs, is 800 metres away. In summer the area comes alive with beaches and sunset walks towards Palmaria Island, while in the low season it’s well suited to excursions to San Giorgio Castle and the Technical Naval Museum in La Spezia, both about 5-6 km away, or to days of trekking along the coastal paths connecting Portovenere to the Cinque Terre.
