Bouganville Portovenere is not just a holiday home; it’s the place where, year after year, I spent my holidays with family and my dearest friends.
Located on the first floor of a villa with an invaluable landing stage on the sea, this property offers breathtaking views of Portovenere, a UNESCO World Heritage village, Palmaria Island, and Lerici, with the Apuan Alps and the Versilia landscape as a stunning backdrop. This exceptional location provides the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday, allowing guests to experience one of the most striking panoramas of the Ligurian Sea.
The apartment is ideally equipped for vacation stays. Its spacious open-plan layout includes a sleeping loft and a twin bedroom, both featuring large windows that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces. Two expansive terraces provide a peaceful retreat, shielding guests from the surrounding hustle and bustle while offering panoramic views of the lush Mediterranean garden filled with pine trees, holm oaks, myrtles, and vibrant bouganvillea flowers.
The private park features a picturesque staircase leading directly to the sea, where guests can enjoy a refreshing swim, snorkel, canoe, or sail in the crystal-clear waters.
Bouganville Portovenere Holiday Home Description:
Originally built in 1960 and completely redesigned in 1976, the apartment has been continuously updated to ensure comfort and spatial flexibility.
The well-organized open-plan space is designed for natural light and optimal air circulation, providing a naturally cool environment. It includes a fully equipped living and dining area, a large double sofa bed, and a lofted double bed accessible via a wooden staircase.
The kitchen is functional and fully equipped with a dishwasher, induction cooktop, microwave/grill oven, refrigerator, and freezer.
Adjacent to the open space is a separate bedroom featuring two navy-style beds and a spacious wardrobe. The bathroom, elegantly finished in natural slate stone, features WC, washbasin and shower box.
For added comfort, the apartment is equipped with Wi-Fi, smart TV, Sonos Play1 home sound system, chess, playing cards, and table toys. The air conditioning system provides a pleasant coolness in the summer and can also be used to warm up the first chills of spring and autumn.
The lower terrace features a dining table for six, a Weber BBQ, one Sun lounger and two ultra-comfortable Lafuma Relax Reclining Chairs (see photos).
From October 15 to June 2, the pier is lifted for its "winter break", but the sea remains accessible from the jetty.

Must-See Attractions in Portovenere and Surroundings:
Portovenere, built on the ruins of the ancient Roman settlement of Portus Veneris, is a culturally rich destination. Visitors can explore the imposing Doria Castle and two historically significant churches: the proto-Romanesque Church of St. Peter and the Church of St. Lawrence, which showcases Romanesque and Gothic elements.
Portovenere, along with the Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto islands, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and a designated Marine Reserve and National Park. The breathtaking coastline, rugged cliffs, deep blue waters, and unspoiled nature have inspired renowned poets and writers such as Lord Byron, Percy B. Shelley, Petrarch, and Eugenio Montale, giving birth to the name "Gulf of Poets."

This is a beautiful spot with one especially cool feature: a private pier for swimming in the Mediterranean! The house is charming and the views are stunning. You can easily walk to Porto Venere, or to a public beach <10 min away. Very highly recommend this spot!
