Why visit Portofino?

Portofino packs monumental maritime drama into a slender crescent of pastel-washed Ligurian houses, where superyachts anchor beneath the brooding pine-clad slopes of the Monte di Portofino Regional Natural Park. Days here begin with an espresso at Piazzetta Martiri dell'Olivetta before a steep, cypress-shaded climb to the Castello Brown, a 16th-century fortress offering sweeping panoramas over the Gulf of Tigullio. Follow the cliffside footpath past the 12th-century Church of San Giorgio down to the solitary lighthouse at Punta del Capo, where the Gulf of Genoa opens in a vast expanse of cobalt blue.

Gastronomy in this former fishing village remains anchored in the traditions of the Italian Riviera. Settle into a harbourside table at Trattoria del Marè to order trenette al pesto, tossed with local basil, potatoes, and green beans, paired with a chilled glass of Ligurian Vermentino. Afterward, stroll along the marina to sample handmade lemon gelato infused with fruit from the terraced orchards of neighboring San Fruttuoso, then browse the artisan boutiques lining Via Roma for hand-stitched leather goods and bespoke maritime art.
