Portovenere, a jewel of the Ligurian Riviera, is famous for its picturesque alleys that tell stories of times gone by. One of these alleys, hidden among the colorful houses and ancient walls, offers a unique and fascinating experience.

The architectural details are what makes this alley so special. The stone arches, the small niches with statues of saints, and the flower-filled balconies add a touch of beauty and authenticity.
Walking through this alley is a sensory experience. The scent of the sea mixes with that of the flowers and aromatic herbs that grow spontaneously. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the birds singing complete this idyllic picture.
