Portofino

Portofino is a small Ligurian harbour village framed by colourful waterfront houses and a green headland. Come for the compact harbour scene and the change of view as you move away from the Piazzetta.

Portofino

Why go

The Piazzetta sits beside a sheltered harbour that once served fishing boats. From the waterfront, the painted houses form a tight ring against the hills. Portofino's scale makes its contrast easy to grasp: a dense village edge gives way quickly to the green headland above it.

What to look for

  • The Piazzetta borders Portofino's harbour.
  • Colourful houses ring the waterfront.
  • A green headland rises behind the village.

Useful to know

  • Begin at the Piazzetta, then step back from the waterfront to take in the harbour and headland together.
  • Treat Portofino as a compact village visit; plan any beach or headland outing as a separate leg.
