Discover the allure of the Italian Riviera as you journey to the picturesque towns of Portofino and Santa Margherita. Set out from the bustling Genoa Cruise Port or your hotel, and be whisked away to a coastal realm where the Ligurian Sea meets pristine beaches, and pastel-colored villas are set against a backdrop of verdant hills.
Portofino: As one of Italy's most renowned resort destinations, Portofino is the epitome of the “dolce vita.” Here, yachts sway gently in the harbour, and centuries-old piazzas come alive with the hum of cafes and boutiques. Meander through the narrow alleyways that tell tales of bygone eras. Be sure to capture the breathtaking view from the Church of San Giorgio, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the luxurious villas of the rich and famous tucked away amidst lush vegetation.
Santa Margherita Ligure: Only a stone's throw from Portofino, yet possessing a charm uniquely its own, Santa Margherita Ligure beckons with its elegant promenade and historic fishing port. Wander along the seafront, where grand hotels meet palm-lined avenues. Discover the Baroque Basilica of Santa Margherita and delve into local legends that interweave faith and folklore.
During this enriching exploration, your private official tour guide will illuminate the rich history, culture, and traditions of the region. They'll offer anecdotes that breathe life into the stone and paint, and make recommendations tailored to your interests.
No Italian experience is complete without indulging in its culinary marvels. Relish a leisurely lunch, savouring Ligurian specialities like “focaccia al formaggio” or fresh seafood, with views of the azure sea.
As the day draws to a close, a comfortable drive will take you back to Genoa, your heart filled with memories of sun-drenched vistas, charismatic towns, and the undeniable magic of the Italian Riviera.
