Portofino

A jewel of rare beauty in Europe

The extraordinary beauty, the quiet, precious, and secluded atmosphere is a combination of intimate tradition and style. The fishermen’s little old houses, which are placed side by side and divided only by the soft, delicate, but well-defined colours, are reflected in the blue sea. The famous “Piazzetta”, delimited by the little houses, slopes down and ends in the water of the harbour, where, while one is sipping a drink or tasting a typical dish, one can see sailors still drawing their boats out of the water upon it as if upon the edge of a beach. All around and under the pointed-arched porticos, along the quay and the Pier, the boutiques, the shops, the American bars, and the restaurants act as a frame. Portofino is thus a haven of peace in a place of unequalled beauty: A kingdom ruled serenely and with a lot of love by King colour and Queen light.
