Christmas @ The Poet Hotel

Exploring the incredible Gulf of Poets - Italy With a Frecciabianca you get directly to La Spezia from Rome. From here the distances are short to reach all the most incredible places and the best solution is to rely on your hotel or a taxi to travel by car (about 15 min) to Portovenere (in our case). Portovenere, our first stop, is not part of the 5 Terre but is its sentinel; perhaps this, has allowed her to maintain a very authentic and truly unique atmosphere. A must is the walk to the Church of San Pietro and then down to touch the sea from Grotta Byron. I discovered the 5 Terre, sailing from Portovenere, with a whole new perspective. Admiring them from a splendid sailing boat is truly a dream experience. Lunch on board looking at the island of Palmaria and then heading to Lerici. Our second and last night in Ligurian land is in this super authentic medieval village 10 minutes from Lerici and 5 from the sea. Old gentlemen play chess in the square while all around the lights of the rooms where you can sip a glass of wine with friends; and the most incredible is just where our last dinner awaits us: Loggiato Gemmi. Lose yourself in the wonderful and super colorful alleys to find yourself in front of the house where Napoleon lived for a period and immerse yourself in an atmosphere where time passes slowly and the scent of freshly baked croissants arrives. #italy #liguria #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #couplestrip #deliciousfood #travelinspiration
