Camogli and Portofino’s natural reserve

Camogli is a lovely slow-paced fishing village overlooking the Golfo Paradiso, in the Ligurian Riviera di Levante. A typical seaside hamlet characterized by tall houses painted in bright colors that fascinate the view. A romantic place, immersed in a magnificent natural setting, which for centuries has enchanted tourists from all over the world in search of relaxation, culture, sea and good food. You can explore its narrow streets and taste Focaccia sitting in front of the fishermen harbour or hike the trail in the Portofino National park to the hidden cove of San Fruttuoso and its abbey overlooking the bay with crystal clear water.

Portofino lighthouse

Portofino is an exclusive seaside village, situated only an hour away from the Cinque Terre. A jewel of the Italian Riviera that was one of the favorite spots of the rich and famous during its 1950s heyday. This beautiful hamlet is known for its colorfully painted buildings that line the shore. The town is clustered around its half-moon shaped harbor filled with summer yachts and fishing boats and lined with high-end boutiques, seafood restaurants, cafes and luxury hotels. Beside this, Portofino preserves its amazing wild side since the village is the center of Portofino National park and Marine reserve. Hiking is one of the best ways to explore this area and its crystal clear waters are great for swimming, diving, and boating.
