Tower Retreat

Tower Retreat: Liguria

This fairy tale tower is the perfect place for a unique, romantic getaway. Located in picturesque Porto Venere, you’ll have four floors to yourselves here, including a roof terrace with sea views. The stone tower, which dates back to 1161, boasts a marble dining table – perfect for pasta for two – a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a wine cellar. To make your stay even more special, your host provides breakfast and can help arrange a variety of treats, such as a private chef to cook for you at home. The tower is a destination in itself, but if you can tear yourselves away, you’ll find a pretty harbour, Medieval buildings, and a viewpoint overlooking the Ligurian Sea nearby.

Home truths:
*While the kitchen isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The bedroom is on the mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
*The Jacuzzi bath is integrated into the living area – there is also a separate bathroom with a shower.
*This home consists of three floors and a roof terrace, with steep stairs between the floors.
*Your host provides a complimentary daily breakfast, as well as bottled water, fruit, and sweet treats.
*Well-behaved pets may be able to join you, with prior approval from your host.
*Your host may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in time and later check-out time, subject to availability.
