Portofino & Cinque Terre

Everyone should visit Portofino at least once in their lifetime. This small, traditional Ligurian fishing village, in which no new houses have been built since 1935, retains an unspoiled, old-world charm. Wiggly roads, pretty pink and yellow houses, a bustling harbour, all offset by scenery of staggering natural beauty, make it an irresistible retreat, and one that over the years has attracted writers such as Guy de Maupassant and Truman Capote, and the most glamorous Hollywood stars, including Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable.

The Cinque Terre is one of Italy’s most precious treasures. Its five lands, or villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore—are linked by a rugged, 18km coastal path that winds past steeply terraced olive groves and vineyards, white-sand beaches, colourful, higgledy-piggledy houses seemingly stacked on top of each other, and the most spectacular rocky seascapes imaginable.
