A private guided immersion into the twin jewels of the Ligurian Riviera — the glamorous harbour village of Portofino and the elegant promenade of Santa Margherita Ligure. Art, gardens, hidden alleys, and the very soul of la dolce vita.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the harbour and leads you through Santa Margherita's baroque Basilica of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia and the fragrant terraces of Villa Durazzo before transferring to Portofino by local ferry. In Portofino, you wander the piazzetta, climb to the 16th-century Castello Brown for panoramic views over the Marine Reserve, and peek into the fishermen's oratories that still line the harbour wall. The pace is unhurried, the commentary deeply personal, and the aperitivo at a harbourside café is non-negotiable.
Good to know
