Yacht San Lorenzo 22

Stretched along the Gulf of Poets between Lerici's medieval castle and the open Ligurian sea, Yacht San Lorenzo 22 offers a rare floating stay in one of Italy's most protected anchorages. The gulf earned its literary name from Shelley and Byron, who both kept quarters on this shoreline.

As a vessel-based property, guest spaces follow the hull's geometry rather than a hotel floor plan — natural light shifts with the boat's orientation through the day. The Lerici waterfront promenade runs directly alongside, connecting to the castle and the ferry crossing to Tellaro in minutes.

La Spezia, four kilometres north, provides the nearest rail connection and the gateway to the Cinque Terre coastal path. With only six reviews averaging 9.6, the yacht remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism circuits.
