Villa Portofino

Description

A unique property in Portofino few minutes by walking from the famous square full of restaurants and shops, the property has a direct access to the sea, in a very private location offering the maximum privacy possible.
The natural protected area of the peninsula of Portofino has been an attraction for centuries with its mild climate and high cliffs dropping into the sea. Anyone who stays in Portofino must know how to adapt to the rhythms of a city that is entirely for pedestrians. It is best to stay here without a car and use public transportation. Trains on the main rail line from Torino to Rome stop in nearby Rapallo, from where there is a bus to Portofino. The local train runs from Santa Margherita to the Cinque Terre and there is a bus from S.Margherita to Portofino.
The Portofino area is ideal for relaxing, hiking, doing water sports and taking day trips to other areas of the Riviera or to Cinque Terre. Genoa is 30 minutes by highway, Florence 3 hours, Rome is 5 hours south and Milan is 2 hours north.
Please note: The villa is about 10 minutes (300 meters) walking to the center of the village if you use the lift that connect the harbor to the walking path, and 20 minutes without the lift.

From the entrance gate to the house there is a stairway going down (39 steps), there are additional 23 steps to reach the solarium from the house.
From the villa to the private rock swimming platform there are about 180 steps. From the platform, it is possible to sunbathe and swim in the blue sea.
