Portofino, Summer 2k18

Ciao amici miei e benvenuti a Portofino. The Beautifully quaint city right on the Amalfi coast; Italy's answer to the Cote d'Azur. What makes Portofino different to every other quaint port city frequented by the massively wealthy? Absolutely nothing, and thats what makes it perfect.

See, at some point, we all get bored of waiting and looking around for something new, something different. Sometimes it's nice to feel at home in a place that's maybe a thousand miles from your home. Portofino is a small city centred around the port and about a 45-minute drive from Genoa. It's great for those arriving by superyacht as you needn't have Giovani or Francois Carefully manoeuvre the car out of its tight onboard parking space and into the crowds of people taking photos and videos, hoping for a Kardashian. Once you get out on the deck and the tourists and locals see that you probably don't have 11 pounds of makeup on and implants or fillers, they wistfully disperse, that's when you head out and walk along the port jumping in and out of stores picking up quaint items made by the locals along with quaint items made by Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo. Get a bite to eat and have a glass of wine at one of the many cafés, pizzerias or gelaterias in the close vicinity before you take in a little culture. Many art galleries are showcasing exquisite pieces from world-renowned artists along with beautiful examples of local Italian art and maybe if you have a couple of bucks... or 100,000 bucks to spare, why not pick up some art? Once done with all this it's time to head back to the yacht or hotel because that's about all there is to do in Portofino
