What originated in ancient times as a small fishing village, starting from the early sixties, slowly transformed, becoming one of the most elegant and sought after tourist resorts famous not only. in Italy but all over the world.
As soon as I arrived in this enchanting place, I decide to take a long walk uphill to reach the top of the hill that overlooks the beautiful Portofino.
This is the realm of fabulous villas and extra luxury hotels, but also a place from which you can enjoy unforgettable views of the underlying city of Portofino, its gulf dotted with luxurious yachts and on the Ligurian sea with a thousand shades of blue.
On the heights above the city, there are also the ancient remains of the Brown castle, formerly called
Castello di San Giorgio.
Portofino is also the kingdom of those who want to enjoy shopping; in such an enchanting setting there are in fact numerous high fashion boutiques.
But this is also and above all place with unspoiled nature and the clear and warm sea with a thousand shades that make Portofino even more special.
