Marriage proposal in Portovenere
Porto Venere, the harbour of Venus: the name alone is a declaration. Here are the most beautiful places for a proposal, and how we can help you prepare it at the Tower.
Choose the place
The church of San Pietro, at the tip of the headland, is the most famous spot: the terrace in front of the church looks out over the open sea and the Cinque Terre. At sunset it is beautiful, but it is rarely empty.
Byron's Grotto, below San Pietro, is named after the English poet who used to swim here. Castello Doria, high above the village, offers the widest view over the Gulf of Poets and the islands.
If you want a moment that is just for the two of you, the most intimate choice is the private terrace of Capitolare Tower, above the rooftops of the village, with the sea all around.
Leave the preparations to us
We arrange tailor-made marriage proposals: flowers, candles, a private dinner, live music. You think of the words, we take care of everything else, the surprise included.
Every proposal is different: tell us about the person you love and what you both enjoy, and we will send you an idea designed for you.
Choose the right moment
Sunset is the most requested moment. In summer the village is busier; in spring and autumn the light is softer and there are fewer people.
If you want to celebrate straight away, book the night at the Tower: after the «yes», the whole suite is yours.
Stay at Capitolare Tower
A private 128 m² suite in a 12th-century tower, with a terrace over the sea of Portovenere. Breakfast and covered parking included.
