This seafront hotel property in Lerici is located in the heart of the Gulf of Poets, directly on the waterfront and within walking distance of the beach, marina, historic centre, and the town’s main services.

Set in one of the most sought-after destinations on the Ligurian Riviera, the property is registered under Italian cadastral category D/2, specifically designated for hotel and hospitality use.

The transaction concerns the sale of the real estate asset only and does not include the existing hotel business or management operations. This structure gives the buyer full freedom to reposition, enhance, lease, or directly operate the property according to their own investment strategy.

• breakfast room;

The property has undergone several renovation and upgrading works over time, involving the guest rooms, common areas, systems, and operational spaces.

Location & Destination Appeal

Lerici is one of the most prestigious coastal destinations in Liguria, internationally appreciated for its elegant waterfront, historic centre, marina, beaches, and panoramic setting within the Gulf of Poets.

The property enjoys a prime seafront position, just a few metres from the beach and within walking distance of the marina, restaurants, shops, and the main cultural and tourist attractions.

The Gulf of Poets has long attracted artists, writers, and international travellers thanks to its combination of natural beauty, maritime heritage, and refined Mediterranean lifestyle.

Lerici also benefits from its proximity to:

• La Spezia;
• Portovenere;
• the Cinque Terre;
• Tellaro;
• Tuscany;
• Pisa International Airport.

This location makes the asset highly attractive for international investors seeking a hospitality property in an established Italian coastal destination with strong brand potential and year-round appeal.

Investment Potential

The property represents a rare hospitality investment opportunity in one of the most exclusive destinations on the Ligurian Riviera.

Its key strengths include the seafront location, 30-room configuration, sea-view balconies and terraces, private parking, wellness area, restaurant, and the possibility to acquire the building independently from the current hotel management.

The separation between ownership and operations provides the buyer with several strategic options:

• direct operation under a new hospitality brand;
• lease to an experienced hotel operator;
• repositioning as a boutique hotel;
• conversion into a luxury lifestyle hotel;
• development of an independent international hotel concept;
• enhancement through renovation, rebranding, and service upgrades.

The property’s D/2 classification, existing hotel layout, and good maintenance condition reduce the complexity of future hospitality use compared with properties requiring a full change of destination.

Private parking is an especially valuable feature in Lerici, where limited parking availability represents a major operational and commercial constraint.

Ideal For

• Hotel investors seeking an established hospitality asset on the Ligurian coast.
• International hospitality groups looking to enter or expand within the Italian leisure market.
• Boutique hotel operators interested in repositioning a seafront property.
• Family offices and real estate funds seeking a trophy hospitality asset in Liguria.
• Private investors interested in separating property ownership from hotel operations.
• Lifestyle hospitality brands looking for a highly recognisable location near Cinque Terre and Portovenere.
