Overview
Live la dolce vita when you vacation in the elegant sea view Dimora de Auria, set in the Cinque Port of Porto Venere on the northwest coast of Italy. This beautiful property comprises three distinct parts, each with its entrances: a three-storey detached house, an independent annexe, and a studio-style apartment. The six hundred square meter property is set in its own meticulously maintained grounds and botanical gardens, with gated access to the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
There are nine spacious bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to sixteen guests in some style. Dimora de Auria would be ideal for a fabulous family celebration or a group of friends get-together. The exterior columned house is most impressive, whilst the interiors are exquisite, cleverly combining classic painted ceilings and chandeliered rooms, furnished with traditional pieces and original antiques, with ultra-modern luxury bathrooms and contemporary kitchens.
Starting with the main house, enter your holiday home through the breathtakingly beautiful marble reception hall, from which all rooms lead off. The painted ceiling sitting room is charmingly furnished with comfy sofas, armchairs, and book-lined shelves. With a second sea view, the sitting room has a similar built-in bookcase, which is home to a flat-screen television. The white and granite kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances to cater to your holiday, including that must-have morning coffee maker. The adjacent painted-ceiling dining room is perfect for some splendid indoor entertaining. Take the sweeping staircase to the first floor, where you will find two sea-view double bedrooms with queen-sized beds and one single bed. There are two stunning bathrooms, one with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a WC, and the other with a shower, a hand basin, and a WC. On the second floor, there are two more sea-view double bedrooms with queen-size beds, one with an ensuite bathroom and the other with an ensuite shower room. A handy laundry room completes the main house.
Take the path through the garden to the two-storey Dependence. This delightful property has an open plan living space, decked out in marine navy and white, with a sofa, chairs, coffee table and TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a six-seater dining set on the ground floor. On the first floor is a double bedroom with a queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a double bedroom with twin beds and an ensuite shower room. The independent ground-floor Apartment has a sea-view double bedroom with a queen-sized bed and an ensuite shower room.
Step out in the five thousand square metres of gorgeous grounds, surrounded by a walled Mediterranean garden, manicured lawns, a gate to the seafront promenade, and a sea view terrace furnished with a dining set for alfresco feasting.

Region
Nestled along the ruggedly beautiful Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a collection of five picturesque coastal villages that have become synonymous with charm, character, and an unparalleled sense of natural beauty. Each of these villages, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, is a jewel in its own right, with unique attractions and offerings that collectively make Cinque Terre an enchanting destination.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYou and your family will love staying in Porto Venere, starting with the villa, which has extensive gardens and lush green lawns on which they can safely play. The house has immediate access to the seafront, and Palmaria Island is just three minutes away by local boat. Porto Venere beach is a little rocky, but nearby Lerici, Tellaro, and San Terenzo coastal towns have notable family-friendly beaches.
Whilst your younger ones build sandcastles and swim in the shallow crystal clear waters, your older children can enjoy a selection of exhilarating watersports, including kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkelling. Charter a yacht for a family day at sea and take a boat trip along the scenic coastline and around the local islands.
Wander the charming streets of Porto Venere, shop for souvenirs, see the Church of St Peter and Doria Castle, and then sit in squares eating Italian ice cream. Visit nearby La Spezia, see the Naval Museum, and climb the walls of San Giorgio castle for the fabulous panoramic views. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Cinque Terre, get there by boat or train, then hike the trails and take in the colourful buildings of each unique village.
