Eco del Mare is an eco-chic and intimate boutique property on the Golfe dei Poeti. The hotel is owned by the wife of Zucchero, an Italian pop star, and she's decorated each of the six rooms and public spaces with an emphasis on natural elements and funky decor, though the rooms may be a bit too laid back for some tastes. The sandy cove beach is naturally defined by rocky cliffs without another building in sight. Pillows, lounge chairs, and umbrellas make the beach a comfortable spot to hang out, while kayaks are fun for exploring the coast. A continental breakfast is included with the price of the room and there's a semi-outdoor bar and Mediterranean restaurant built in a cave-like room. Anyone can buy a day pass to use the beach, so it can get crowded.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Doria Park Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in Lerici, and it definitely has the best jaw dropping views of the Gulf of Poets. The hotel takes advantage of its prime hilltop location by showcasing stunning views from the elegant terrace, fine-dining restaurant, and most of the 46 sophisticated rooms. It's an easy two-minute walk down to Lerici and the harbor via a private gate, and the beach is another five minutes from there. The free breakfast buffet is high quality and the space turns into a fine-dining Italian restaurant in the evenings, after sunset aperitifs on the terrace. The biggest downside is the lack of a pool or communal whirlpool, though one of the suites has an outdoor hot tub. For something eco-chic on the beach, check rates at Eco del Mare.
