Portofino “La Dolce Vita”
Portofino Area
With its terrific tree-lined cliffs, ocean views, warm weather and delicious food, Portofino is the incarnation of “La Dolce Vita”. Located just in the middle between Riviera delle Palme and Cinque Terre Area, this macro area around the quaint little fishing town has become the darling of rich and famous people. The restricted area around Portofino, hardly 2 kilometres, the small fisher town is nicknamed the most beautiful Piazzetta (square) in the world. In effect, this open air space is unique and full of magic. In a few steps it is possible to see many of the world famous shop-fronts, walk beside the luxury yachts in the marina, see the local fisherman mending and rearranging their nets, in the unforgettable bay, full of pastel coloured houses. While Portofino is certainly a tiny little town, there is plenty to keep you busy during your stay. Portofino tourism relies upon many activities including upscale shopping, sight-seeing, water-sports and Italian fine dining – they are all within easy reach of any of the Portofino hotels.
