Villa Portofino

The villa is a true gem of a vacation home - walking distance to the beautiful village of Portofino, with several terraces each with an unbelievable view of water, sailboats and mountains beyond, the house is modern and comfortable. It has all you need for a relaxing stay, without clutter or unnecessary items. Swimming in the beautiful Mediterranean is off a private platform down some steps. Be aware that access is only via pedestrian pathway from the village, but it is not far and the path also provides stunning views. Marta thoughtfully provided porters for our luggage (extra cost) and a housekeeper who kept the villa spotless and helped with cooking and shopping on request. We could not have felt better cared for and hope to go back soon.

We had a wonderful week. The location was perfect, privately hidden away in the trees on the peninsula of Portofino. The villa is peacefully relaxed with everything that you need and has private access to the sea which is perfect. Tastefully decorated with beautiful art work and iconic furniture pieces. The house keeper, Karina was kind, helpful and discreet. We truly loved it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and/or return. Thank you so much X

Absolutely Magical - A Hidden Gem in Portofino
This extraordinary home is pure magic! The views of Portofino's sparkling turquoise waters and colorful houses are absolutely breathtaking - every window frames a postcard-perfect scene that changes beautifully throughout the day.
What truly sets this property apart is the incredible artistic vision in every detail. The owner has created a sophisticated gallery meets intimate home, with original artwork, thoughtful sculptures, and carefully curated furnishings that perfectly complement both the stunning architecture and natural beauty.
The blend of modern comfort with authentic Italian charm is flawless. We spent hours on the terrace with morning espresso, feeling like we were living in a dream. Every artistic touch - from wood spoons to vintage furniture - shows a true creative soul at work.

Private, beautiful place to stay, amazing views and private access to the sea. Elena was a perfect host who prepared delicious food for us. Can’t speak higher of this place.

Amazing location and property with unprecedented private ocean access, which is rare in the area. For those with young children there is also a small rocky beach just a 5 min walk from the property.
The 15 minute walk from Portofino harbor (and 10-15 min further from the road) is not for everyone but it added to the exclusivity of the property and the private elevator helped a lot. We had a range in ages 4 to 83 and we did great. Just make sure to plan grocery shopping or use the delivery services suggested by host.
Marta was a great host, and very helpful and responsive when needed. All in all we had an amazing stay and can definitely recommend this property.

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for a wonderful vacation in Portofino! We spent an unforgettable time in this wonderful house. The cozy atmosphere, the well-kept and beautiful grounds, and the private waterfront make this place truly unique. Here you can enjoy the peace, incredible views, and complete harmony.
Special thanks to Elena for her care, responsiveness, and assistance with all matters. Thanks to her attentive attitude, our vacation was as comfortable and carefree as possible.
This is a place you'll truly want to return to. We highly recommend it to anyone dreaming of a vacation in one of the most beautiful corners of Italy!

This house suited us perfectly. We enjoy walking, so the distance from the town was no issue for us, nor were the 120 steps to the sea - we exercised off all the meals out! Marta was a very responsive host and we would definitely book through her again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Dear Bettina and a magic Villa Portofino team,
thanks a lot for your wishes!
We wish your a soft landing in a New Year and hope to be your guests one day again!!!
Our hearts are still belonging to this place)))
Warmest regards from Switzerland,
Tatiana and Konstantin

The Villa sits on a hillside and is very peaceful with beautiful views of the Ligurian Sea. The pictures depict the rooms accurately. Elena, the housekeeper, was very accommodating and made us the most wonderful crepes as dessert after dinner. She is Ukranian and speaks very little English so we used the Google translate app to communicate.
The only caution to give is the Villa is not for people who have trouble walking or have mobility issues. It is a substantial walk from the pharmacy drop-off point to the Villa with cobblestone pathways, narrow pedestrian paths, steps and inclines. Comfortable walking shoes are a must!

A lovely house in a cool and exclusive-feeling location. Loved the direct sea access, the view, the greenery, the airy and attractive house, and the proximity to the stylish harbour and seafront restaurants of Portofino. There is a live-in housekeeper. It’s a hilly area, which can be hot and bothersome in August, but there is use of a private lift down to the town.

Amazing property! Second to none! A dream house in a dream location. Well curated art and furnishing in the house, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a unique, one of a kind experience for anyone lucky enough to stay here. Marta and Karina are very kind, sweet, helpful, considerate and responsive hosts. We could not have wished for anything more. Our experience there will be remembered by my family throughout our lives. Thank you Marta and Karina!
