Yes, Portofino is as beautiful as

you’ve always thought. Think of the most beautiful piece of California coastline. Now compress it, steepen the hillsides, intensify the blue-green of the water, add truly tasteful shops and a scattering of outdoor cafes. A castle on one overlook, a chapel on another. Sprinkle liberally with Lombardy cypresses, yellow and pink palazzi and turn up the temperature to exactly 80 degrees. You’re there. Rod Stewart was enjoying his sixth honeymoon at the local Hotel Splendido the day we toured. Details at eleven. Ciao!
