Portofino

Portofino Getaway

Portofino isn't just a place, it's a pause. One of those postcards that, when experienced well, transforms into an experience. In this guide, we invite you to explore this corner of Liguria through a different perspective, more intimate, more real. A journey that begins with the vivid colors of Santa Margherita and continues to the deep blue of San Fruttuoso, passing by hidden coves, seaside paths, and dishes that encapsulate the entire identity of the coast.
