Romantic Voyage to Portofino with Vip Limousine Milan

Luxury car with driver for an unforgettable trip

Imagine a romantic voyage to Portofino: a wonderful place, a paradise, a warm sea, a secluded beach to experience together with your loved one. This dream image can come true thanks to the services of Vip Limousine Milan and our beautiful luxury cars with driver. Portofino is one of the most beautiful towns in Italy and is considered the jewel of the Ligurian Riviera.

Portofino is called a paradise by the Ligurians themselves, especially because of its wonderfully mild climate. In June, for example, it is already warm enough to take a boat trip.

The town has a great history with Hollywood stars and celebrities in general. It is the setting for many films and is also where celebrities spend their most romantic moments. Last May, even the couple most renowned for red carpet appearances, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker chose Portofino for their wedding.

Portofino can be reached by sea or by land, but it is very complicated to find a parking space near the centre where you can leave your car. Here, a luxurious car rental and a fully trained and professional personal driver will be at your disposal for as long as you need, erasing problems and doubts about the road ahead and parking.

Perhaps the main peculiarity of a holiday in Portofino is its location. The fact is that the town seems to run along the side of a cliff and the houses communicate with each other thanks to a system of stairs carved into the stone. The roofs of each house are adorned with a garden and the spaces between the houses, bridges and stairs are planted with various fruit trees and vineyards.

The story of Portofino

"And suddenly, a hidden cove of olive and chestnut trees appears. A small village, Portofino, spreads out like a moonbow around this calm basin. We slowly cross the narrow passage that joins this magnificent natural harbour to the sea, and we enter the amphitheatre of houses, surrounded by a forest of a powerful and fresh green, and everything is reflected in the mirror of calm waters, where a few fishing boats seem to be sleeping".

This is how the famous writer Guy De Maupassant described the beautiful town of Portofino in 1889.

In Italy, this place has been known since Roman times. The ancient "Portus Delphini" mentioned by Pliny has very remote origins, linked to its location that made it a safe harbour for ships. This is the name that fishermen and sailors sailing during the Roman period gave to the area because of the large number of dolphins that inhabited it.

Remarkably, the same characteristics are still present in Portofino today. Portofino only became known as a tourist resort at the end of the last century. It was once a fishing village by the sea and its inhabitants relied mainly on fishing. Today, it has become one of the most prestigious locations in Italy and the world.

The village still retains a very characteristic appearance and, as in any small town, the first thing to do is to explore it to capture its everyday beauty. If you would like to book a restaurant, a hotel or add a stop along the way, all you have to do is let us know and we will take care of everything with our travel assistance service, so you can enjoy your trip without any worries. The landmarks not to be missed are the Castello Brown, the Church of San Giorgio, the Piazzetta and the lighthouse.

Portofino is located in a national park, a protected natural area on the Riviera di Levante, about thirty kilometres east of Genoa, in the geographical area of the eastern Paradiso Gulf and the western Tigullio. It is no coincidence that this stretch of coastline has been given this status. The local nature is not only beautiful, it is truly unique: many rare plants grow here and the fauna, both land and underwater, is also very diverse. This location on the Italian Riviera is a favourite destination for many divers.

Beautiful hotels, shops and restaurants specialising in seafood can be found in the famous main square (piazzetta in Italian). The Portofino Lighthouse is another attraction worth a visit. It is said that many tourists are impressed not so much by the lighthouse itself, but by the road to reach it.

Particularly colourful is the local nature at sunset or sunrise, under the slanting rays of the sun, when they illuminate the cliffs. The sea crashes against the cliffs and the pine trees rumble over the hills of the promontory. Fortunately, Portofino has not been ruined by modern civilisation either.
