Il Sogno di Annetta: Elegance and Charm in the Heart of Portovenere
Il Sogno di Annetta is a delightful retreat located in the heart of Portovenere, a village that embodies the authenticity and charm of Liguria. Situated on the first floor of a traditional "palazzata," this elegant studio apartment offers a unique combination of medieval architecture and modern comforts, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an intimate and refined stay, away from the bustle of daily life.
Key Features and Layout
Entrance
Accessible via a characteristic "carugio", a narrow and lively alley lined with local artisan shops and traditional restaurants, the apartment welcomes you into a cozy corridor that leads to the main living areas.
Sleeping Area
The double bedroom, located to the right of the corridor, exudes a romantic and relaxing atmosphere despite its compact size, a reflection of the medieval architecture and stone walls. The windows offer views of the bustling Via Cappellini, the vibrant heart of Portovenere. While a fan is available, the air conditioning in the living area effectively cools the entire apartment.
Bathroom
The bathroom is functional and well-equipped, featuring a practical shower. Adjacent to the bathroom is a storage space with a washing machine and drying rack, adding convenience for longer stays.
Living Area
Kitchenette: Separated by a handcrafted wooden wall, the kitchenette is designed in a compact, boat cabin-inspired style. Despite its size, it is fully equipped with a stovetop, column refrigerator, and Nespresso coffee machine, providing everything needed for home-cooked meals.
Dining and Lounge Area: This bright and spacious area opens onto breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, Palmaria Island, and the Gulf of Poets. It is the perfect spot to relax, dine, or simply enjoy the stunning scenery. A modern air conditioning unit (which also functions as a heater) ensures comfort throughout the year.
Additional Details
Furnishings
Every piece of furniture has been carefully chosen by Annetta, the owner, to reflect the authentic soul of Portovenere. The artisanal furnishings and thoughtful decorative touches create an elegant and welcoming ambiance, inviting guests to respect and appreciate the beauty of the home.
Access and Parking
Located in a pedestrian-only area, the apartment cannot be directly accessed by car. Guests can unload luggage approximately 300 meters away, after which vehicles must be parked in one of the paid public parking areas along the promenade or at the top of the village. During the summer, a Girobus shuttle service is available. For added convenience, a Private Garage at the Grand Hotel Portovenere offers covered parking upon request.
A Unique Retreat in Portovenere
The apartment's compact layout, inspired by nautical design, pays homage to the village's maritime heritage. While the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen spaces are modest in size, they contribute to the apartment’s unique charm and functionality.
Il Sogno di Annetta is the ideal choice for those seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of Portovenere without sacrificing modern comforts and refined details. A perfect destination for a romantic getaway or a relaxing break along the stunning Ligurian Riviera.
