Lovers' Nest is a private apartment with unique breathtaking view on The Poets' Gulf, Palmaria Island and St. Peter’s Church in Portovenere. It is located in Portovenere, in the area called "Il Cavo", which is about 10 minutes walking from the village center. There is a frequent shuttle bus service to the village center for those who do not want to walk a lot. The apartment can be reached both by steps or by a lift that serve all the other apartments of the complex, built on a cliff perched on the sea. Even though there are several apartments in this complex, the peculiar and wise construction of these buildings allows them to keep their privacy. The house is surrounded by luxuriant Mediterranean trees, so that even reaching the house can be an inebriating experience.Once you reach the apartment, you enter a long corridor that serves as recovery for all the item you usually carry from the beach. Then you meet a nice terrace with barbeque and a small outdoor kitchen. On these terrace you find also a dining table, a small open air shower and a closed cabinet for the laundry with washing machine. From the terrace, that runs around the apartment and gives you a wonderful panoramic view, you enter the sitting room + small dining room with big windows opening on the panorama.. The apartment has also 1 small but complete kitchen, 1 master bedroom and a small bedroom with a bulk bed and a bathroom. Both the rooms have direct, independent access to the bathroom. There is a warm parquet on the floor and electric heating for the winter season. From the house you can reach the sea going down some steps. There you can find a small dock from were you can dive or depart with a hired boat (that’s the best!). Upon request boat hiring rates or escorted boat tours are available. The owner has nicely furbished the property. She cares a lot of it and she prefers not to rent it to families with children under 10. We dare say the property is o.k. for a couple (the place is so romantic)or for families with one or two teen-agers. The property has a private fenced-in parking spot (hard to find in Portovenere)
