    Liguria

    Portofino

    The iconic pastel harbour of the Italian Riviera, intimate and impossibly chic.

    Portofino: The Intimate Heart of the Riviera

    Portofino is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful places on earth. This tiny harbour village - its pastel-coloured houses reflected in the still waters of a sheltered bay - has been the ultimate symbol of understated Mediterranean glamour since the 1950s. It is a place where superyachts anchor beside traditional fishing boats, where Michelin-starred kitchens draw on the same sea that local fishermen have worked for generations.

    The magic of Portofino lies in its intimacy. Despite its global fame, the village is remarkably small - a few narrow lanes, a single piazzetta, a lighthouse walk through pine forests to the point. It is this concentrated beauty, this sense of being in a world apart, that draws the most discerning travellers back year after year.

    Our Portofino selection reflects this philosophy of quality over quantity. From the legendary Hotel Splendido to intimate harbour-side boutique stays, from private yacht charters along the Ligurian coast to bespoke wellness experiences, every partner has been chosen for their ability to embody the Portofino spirit: effortless elegance, impeccable taste, and genuine warmth.
