Portofino villas - a vacation in Italy's picturesque seaside village
You have undoubtedly heard of the breathtaking fishing village of Portofino,
which has seen scores of celebrities and famous nobilities arrive to bask in its
blue-green waters. But did you ever think you would be able to relax in
your very own
Portofino villa? The village is formed in a half-moon shape
to accommodate the fishing boats,
cruise ships, and private yachts that regularly make themselves at home in the
harbor.
Your Portofino villa, perched high above one of the most beautiful
Mediterranean ports, presents you with a view that stretches its fingers far in
each direction, and shimmers along the horizon just like the waves crashing
below. You will feel as if you are in your own private world as you relax on the
deck of your villa, and if you listen closely, you may be able to hear music
playing from one of the boats sailing along the sea.
Portofino is famous for its delicious seafood, its luxurious shops, and its
picturesque Italian cobblestone streets. Be sure to visit the
Castello Brown,
built in the 16th century and used to defend the harbor from attacks from the
English. Today, this castle houses some of the most beautiful works of art in
the region. Portofino's waterfront has long been the object of paintings,
photography, and admiration, so indulge yourself with a glass of white wine at
one of the restaurants on the central piazza as you watch the vibrancy of
Italian life play out before you.
Let the wind blow through your hair and take a ferry to one of the neighboring
seaside towns like Santa Margherita Ligure or Rapallo, where you can enjoy a day
trip of lounging on the beach, hiking up to hilltop castles, or lunching along
the shore. Your
Portofino villa will tantalize you with its
expanse of comfort and it may even entice you to take a dip in the warm waters
of the Mediterranean sea!
