Description
Portofino, Italy, is an Italian fishing village and vacation resort famous for its picturesque harbor and historical association with celebrity and artistic visitors. It is a commune located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The town is clustered around its small harbour, and is known for the colourfully painted buildings that line the shore. Even the trees are handsome in Portofino, a small but perfectly coiffured coastal village that sits on its own peninsula. One of the most popular resort towns on the Italian Riviera, little Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes on summer days when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbor to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets. Legendary actor Sir Rex Harrison owned a villa in Portofino which he named San Genesio after the Roman Catholic patron saint of actors.
