IS PORTOFINO WORTH THE HYPE? Italian Riviera's Most Infamous Town

Portofino is a yatches retreat in Summer, ppl comes to eat at the restaurants from the boats and eventually they do some shopping, attend exclusive parties in the villas on the hills around, but for normal people it isnt anything really more than a place where eventually you could spot VIPs, but not really to stay there for the length of an holiday

Hermoso lugar ❤

Beautiful .That little beach all to yourself 😊 I definitely go out of season now.

Could you please say recafinated and Portofino a few thousand times? I would sleep excellent on it. Thank you:)

What a nice combination of experience sharing with you in video and voice over for more knowledge sharing. Quality talks 💃🫠

Sono Naty in Italia la mi seconda casa e in Venezuela

Meglio la Sardegna a Torre dei corsari

Cosa vuoi che ti dica

La bellezza di un paese Ospitale la gente è amabile e trabajadora

Caracas ha un clima invidiabile penso alla Isla margarita Venezuela ❤

Egitto Urgada e y mi sono più ma a volte dal caldo al freddo questo lo fa il paese Veneo Colonia Tovar

Visitate l arcipelago naturale del Venezuela UNESCO patrimonio culturale Los Roques

Condivido ma il mare che mi ha dato la sensazione di essere in paradiso terrestre Los Roques poi Isla margarita Venezuela

La spiaggia y è orribile preferisco la Sardegna a Torre dei corsari o detta anche di flumentorgiu Arena di barriera corallina 🌹

Dovrò parlare i. Italiano

Nice video, however saying that you wouldn’t stay longer than you did isn’t fair when you haven’t experienced the sunrise or the atmosphere in the evening.

I slept in the parking lot. V W. December 1970.

Very beautiful town

I love the way you say margarita ligure lol

Thanks for this, ❤

My Mom Went and said she loves it

Thanks a lot Laura for sharing your great pics and clips and your advices 😉

But why is this town "infamous" ? This is what you wrote in the title.

Thanks for the info regarding prices and travel times, that's so helpful

Didn't see portofino,we were well informed about the transport system,is this a transport information channel or a tour one ,I am bit confused 🤔

Thanks Laura! We'll be there in mid April.

thank u for this usefull innformation

Inspiration for Lavasa.

Is there any way to get to the Castle than hiking?

I think its worth a visit by boat but i am not sure i would wish to stay there for days great video

Well done Laura! Fave parts were: 1) when you said: "What's the big deal?" - which is exactly what I was asking myself. and you answered it well. 2) when you walked to that small lonely beach for lunch - my heart melted. - truly I'd've spent a lot more time just on that beach. did anyone come while you were there or did you have the beach to yourself? -also - did you see any celebrities? - it looks like a great place for celebrity look-alikes to hang around.

Cheap people shouldn't travel ...

Hi Laura, no offence: Ligure has the accent on the i = Li'gure. But I forgive you because :
1. you may have been mislead by the fact that Liguria (the name of the region) has the accent on the u = Ligu'ria and 2. because your video is very very well produced, also the music is appropriate and you capture the essence of this small little gem in full. Brava!!
Love from UK

Thank you for your video, Laura! I recently discovered your channel and have been following along as you explore Liguria!

We will be staying in Camogli in May and wish to spend half day visiting Portofino and Santa Margheritta. Hiking appears slightly too ambitious. Is that enough time to see sights and would it be easy to book ferry / bus? Thank you in advance for sharing your recommendations!

nice

thanks Laura for your honest and helpful tour - we are tossing between Como or this area on our family trip this summer! You made it feel worth the visit! It was like following a good friend around!

CHE bel naso rosso!

انت جميلة انا امل المغرب

In between Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino is a wonderful bay called Paraggi. Stunning beach and the colours that seem to glow on a sunny day are something else.

Do you have someone walking with you and filming while you are talking? If not, are you using the phone to film?

does Lawrence Lawrenson still live there micheal caine

Hey Laura. Thanks for the wonderful videos on Italian Riviera. We did a day trip from Milan to Santa Margherita Ligure then on the bus to Portofino a ferry to Rapallo and back to Milan. It was super easy and so much fun, thanks to your videos. Really worth a visit. Thanks again.

I just have missed it if it was mentioned, but what month was this?

The village looks kind of run- down when it’s not gloriously sunny out.

There's a place like this in India called lavasa..it's good too

Very serene & picturesque. Thanks for sharing.

thank you for the video Laura! I just came back from a day trip to Portofino and must say it's definitely worth a day trip as you mentioned, also- one additional info to share: there is a tiny pebble beach when you are going back from the lighthouse, instead of turning to the path back to castello brown one has to turn into a path going next to a fence, quite steep downwards. It's really lovely for a quick swim

Some friends just W͏e͏n͏tworth there, and the hike around Portofino, was closed

One of my favorite places I’ve ever visited
