Portovenere Marina Misenti

Tucked into the impossibly picturesque village of Portovenere on the Ligurian coast, Marina Misenti sits right in the heart of a UNESCO-listed historic settlement framed by colorful tower houses and medieval fortifications. The marina holds a Blue Flag award for its environmental standards, and you're steps away from Piazzetta Eugenio Montale and the dramatic Church of San Pietro perched on the rocky headland. It's a rare spot where the mooring itself is part of the sightseeing.
