Outdoor Exhibition at Grand Hotel Portovenere
Grand Hotel Portovenere has always been at the vanguard in art promotion, especially involving its own region of Liguria and its neighbor, Tuscany. For 2020 it has worked on a new project called ‘Between Liguria & Tuscany’, which features works of art exposed in the underpass that leads pedestrians towards the Grand Hotel and the historic center of Portovenere. This initiative gives value to the tunnel through which thousands of tourists and citizens pass every year.
Art academies and collectives were invited to participate in the initiative, namely the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti di Genova (Liguria), the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara (Tuscany) and the Bedrock Collective.

Liguria is quite famous for some of its amazing Mediterranean gardens. Renowned names include Giardini Hanbury in Ventimiglia, dating back to 1867 thanks to the vision of English explorer Thomas Hanbury; Giardino Pallanca with more than 3.200 different types of exotic plants in Bordighera; and Villa Nobel, where Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel lived for 6 years. The latter is located in Sanremo, known as the City of Flowers (la Città dei Fiori) for its local cultivations and for the international flower market of Sanremo.
There are some lesser known, yet beautiful gardens in the Gulf of Poets too. The best time to visit them is from spring to early fall, with spring offering the most impactful scenery and scents. So, if you love nature and plants, and are looking for a spring break off the beaten path in Liguria, make sure not to miss the following gardens in the Bay of La Spezia!

The Drink of Summer 2018 is at Venus Bar
Venus Bar and Palmaria Restaurant have signed a partnership with MeMento, an alcohol-free spirit with the scents of Mediterranean aromatic plants.
"The close collaboration involves the use of MeMento in the cocktails proposed by mixologists at Venus Bar and in the cuisine of Palmaria Restaurant” - explains Cristina Raso, Communication and Marketing Manager at Grand Hotel Portovenere – “It expands the quality of non-alcoholic beverages with the objective of intercepting the new trends in contemporary drinking, which sees a greater demand for natural and alcohol-free products".
“Sunset in Portovenere” is the result of the mastery of the Barman at Grand Hotel Portovenere. This non-alcoholic, MeMento-based cocktail combines aromas of strawberry, coconut and orange, exalting essences and flavors, and creating an intriguing and refined drink.
"Recipes created with syrups, spices and fruit purees are very popular with our customers. The entire Grand Hotel team, from the kitchen to the dining room, is working on the preparation of new creations using MeMento” explains Cristina Raso. “The goal is to give pleasure by promoting a healthy lifestyle and at the same time achieving a multi-sensory and complex experience in harmony with nature, elevating the properties of the elements of our land."

First Gluten Free Restaurant in Portovenere
We are pleased to confirm that our own Palmaria Restaurant is the first gluten free restaurant in Portovenere. In fact, Palmaria Restaurant has just been included in the Official Guide by the Italian Society for the Celiac Disease - AIC (Associazione Italiana Celiachia).
As of July 2017, Palmaria Restaurant becomes the thirteenth officially recognized gluten-free restaurant in La Spezia Province. AIC makes thorough checks to make sure that restaurants can receive the gluten free certification and be listed in the national guide.
Travelers who have celiac disease face many trials and tribulations in maintaining a gluten free diet, especially when they must give over control of food preparation to someone else. Finding a gluten free hotel or restaurant in your destination can make your Italian food experience (and vacation in general) a lot more enjoyable!
Palmaria is the restaurant of Grand Hotel Portovenere. It is open to hotel guests as well as to the general public, offering unforgettable views of the local harbor and Palmaria Island. It proposes a cuisine with a Mediterranean flair, combining elements and ingredients from different Italian regions, and also providing a selection of dishes that are typical from La Spezia. These are also available in the gluten-free version.
At Palmaria Restaurant, which sits just next to the ferryboats that depart for or arrive from Cinque Terre, you will find also vegetarian dishes.
