Velamica Resort

Perched on the hills above Lerici with views over the Gulf of Poets, Velamica Resort puts the Ligurian sea on display. A short walk reaches Lerici’s center, and it’s an easy launch point for Cinque Terre excursions, boat trips along the Ligurian Riviera, Lerici Beach and the nearby ferry terminal.

Rooms are chic and elegant, dressed in warm tones with soft lighting, large panoramic windows and comfortable beds. Select suites include sea-view perks: the Bamboo suite has an outdoor Jacuzzi (seasonal, from May) and a private garden for breakfast, while the penthouse offers an exclusive terrace overlooking the sea. Rooms are air-conditioned and may include fridges, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars and electric kettles; some amenities vary by room.

Soak in the outdoor pool, rent a bike to explore the coastline, or stroll the garden and terraces for sea-breeze mornings. Onsite services include self parking (charges may apply), transfer arrangements and laundry. The property’s seasonal outdoor Jacuzzi and private terraces ramp up the relax factor.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property.

There’s an onsite restaurant and a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast served daily. Select suites let you enjoy breakfast with a spectacular sea view — think Ligurian flavors to start the day.
