Venus Bar and its spectacular terrace overlooking the harbor of Portovenere and Palmaria Island, are the venue for a series of foodie experiences and live music concerts near Cinque Terre.
Summer Mocktails & Cocktails
If you don’t like alcoholic drinks, Portovenere has something refreshing and surprising in store for you too. Venus Bar and Palmaria Restaurant have signed a partnership with MeMento, an alcohol-free spirit with the scents of Mediterranean aromatic plants. “Sunset in Portovenere” is the result of the mastery of the Barman at Grand Hotel Portovenere.
