Vacation rentals in Portofino

“What a perfect place to explore Portofino and the whole region from. Location is spot on (unless you’re not ok climbing 50/60 steps as apartment is a top floor attic w cracking views!). You walk out right into the main square and iconic harbour, surrounded by restaurants, gelateria and bars. Also the greeting, hosting and little touches are all v thoughtful and welcoming. Big reccomendation 👌🏼 p.s. definitely try Gemale (on waterfront for lunch), Tripoli (next door to apartment for dinner) and the Pizzeria up the road (full of locals lunch and dinner!)”

“Our stay with Danila lasted only one night, but we really enjoyed it. With her husband Lorenzo and the adorable dog Chuck they welcomed us with great affection and hospitality. The house is quiet, very clean and well furnished. A few km from the sea is a perfect location, quiet and safe even for those who travel by motorcycle. Highly recommended host!”

“What a beautiful apartment! The location is really superb, right on the harbour front, through a door inbetween 2 shops & up a flight of steps. The apartment itself is light & airy with high ceilings and the most beautiful view through the large open window. It really is something special to sit in the window seat with a chilled bottle of champagne, watching the yachts sail past. (There is a supermarket buried in one of the side streets, quite reasonable in comparison to everywhere else!) I had read a review that said the apartment was too small for a week ... I could stay there for a month! It has been cleverly designed to make the most of the space. The bed was very comfortable, with spare pillows & blankets in the cupboard & I like the fact that there is a large empty wardrobe so you can unpack, as I hate living out of a suitcase. I had also read a lot of reviews about the hot water running out, this concerned me as I have long hair & take ages in the shower! It was not a problem at all, even when washing my hair 3 times to get the sea water out of it! I can only assume they had run the shower & then wandered off to make a cup of tea or something (why would you?) Just turn it on & jump straight in & you can both shower with no problem. Also there were quite a lot of toiletries available, we had our own, but it would be useful for someone travelling light. We ate at the local restaurants in the evening, Ristorante Delfino was my favourite, the food was delicious & the staff were kind, attentive and funny. We didn’t eat breakfast out as we walked up to the little bakery (there’s only 1 in Portofino) & got pastries to eat at the window of the apartment. As a host Giovanna was kind & courteous. She met us at Santa Margherita train station & put us on the bus to Portofino & responded immediately to any questions I had. We had a really lovely stay & I would recommend this apartment to anyone. It’s really nice staying in Portofino as the hoards of tourists leave in the evening & don’t come back until midday so you have breakfast & dinner in a much quieter, nicer Portofino than you would if you stayed outside. We will come back, hopefully for longer next time! Thank you for a lovely stay!”
