Perhaps one of the most instantly recognizable ports in the world, Portofino beckons visitors with its blue-green waters and kaleidoscope of colours terraced along the hillsides.
The ageless fishing community is connected to Santa Margherita Ligure by the magnificently winding coastal road. Portofino is one of the most picturesque and distinctive marine villages in the world and rises around a natural harbour and its well-known “piazzetta” (little square).
It is the ideal holiday spot in every season. Temperate in summer and mild in winter, Portofino is the perfect place for those desiring a tranquil place to restore one’s soul. Despite its reputation as a world-class destination, attracting the stars, Portofino is where people of all backgrounds co-exist harmoniously and flourish together with the surroundings. Whomever enters the world-renowned harbour cannot help but feel drawn into the magical atmosphere, unique colours and fragrances.
Meandering up the stone steps to the church dedicated to San Giorgio or winding your way to Castello Brown, your worries will disappear. As you continue along to the lighthouse or take an adventurous hike along the mountainous path to San Fruttuoso, the meaning of the word sublime will become remarkably clear.
