A lifetime of joy begins with an enchanting location and Portofino is at the top of its class. Hidden away at the tip of the penninsula closing the west end of the Tigulian Gulf just south of Genoa, this one time fishing village is now a must destination for Italian Riviera lovers and couples looking for elegance, breathtaking beauty and tranquility. The coastline is spotted with both luxury hotels and quaint inns alternating with lush gardens and the untouched woods of this natural reserve. Pathways are everywhere to take you to neighboring villages and a stroll along the majestic cliffs overlooking the turquoise mediterranean waters offers a romantic atmosphere for your dream day.
A keen celebrity hang out, yacht and sailboat skippers are willing to pay pretentious docking fees just to set foot on Portofino soil and dine in any of the elegant portside restaurants. A hike over the top of Portofino's namesake mountain to the San Fruttuoso Abbey and the Christ of the Abyss is just one of the ways you and your guests can discover the wonders of this splendid Italian destination.
This part of the Italian coastline, from Genoa all the way to the Cinque Terre, is speckled with cliffside villages and towns offering views of unparalleled natural beauty typical of the Italian Riviera which you can enjoy both from your honeymoon suite and through the ceiling to floor glass windows of your reception dining room.
