Originally a small fishing village shaded by eucalyptus and olive trees, Portofino has become a sunny and relaxing paradise on the Ligurian Riviera. Dotted with palm trees and overlooking an azure sea, the tranquillity of the Italian countryside, with its olive groves, holm oaks, pines and cypress trees, is within a short walking distance, whilst the exquisite swimming cove at Paraggi is only a few minutes' drive. From the summit of Monte Portofino, above the town, are stunning, panoramic views across the Mediterranean to the mountains of Corsica. Portofino City Facts
