Sunset over the sea from the hotel's pool terrace

Boutique hotel · Porto Lume, Liguria

A quiet house above the sea.

Twenty-two rooms in a 1903 villa on the cliffs of Porto Lume, with an infinity pool, a terrace restaurant and the whole Ligurian coast below.

Welcome

Twenty-two rooms, one long terrace and the sound of the sea.

Casa Marea was built in 1903 as a summer house for a family of Genoese shipowners. A century later we restored it slowly, keeping the arched windows, the terrazzo floors and the garden of olive and lemon trees.

The fishing village is a four-minute walk down the old steps. The coastal path to Portofino starts at our gate.
