Villa Peninsula - by BelcantoVillas

Splendid independent holiday villa with private garden, located in a spectacular position because it is literally perched on the Portofino peninsula, about ten minutes walk from the square and the port, shortly after the private villa of Dolce & Gabbana.
It boasts private access to the sea and a breathtaking view (both sea view and garden). Immersed in the greenery of nature, it guarantees maximum privacy to its guests.
Among the outdoor spaces, we find: a large terrace shaded by a centuries-old wisteria, an outdoor dining area, a relaxation area with umbrella and a solarium with sun loungers, to relax while enjoying the beautiful sea view and the surrounding landscape.
The structure is in such a secluded and quiet area that from the entrance gate to the villa you have to go down 39 steps while from the villa to the solarium there are 23 steps.
Guests have access to a private rock platform where they can sunbathe and dive into the blue sea. To reach the rock platform, you need to go down 180 steps.
Guests are advised that this villa is accessible only on foot, and is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties. However, a porterage service is available, which must be agreed upon in advance.
From the moment you arrive, you will find an immediately relaxing atmosphere thanks to a relaxation package that includes groceries and a dinner prepared and delivered upon your arrival.

Portofino is a famous fishing village on the Ligurian Riviera south-east of Genoa. International seaside resort, since 1995 it is included in the “Pearls of the European Tourism Club” which gathers high touristic, environmental and cultural resorts. It is characterized by pastel-coloured houses, exclusive boutiques and restaurants with fish specialties overlooking the square. The latter dominates the port, where luxury yachts are moored. In addition to shops and alleys, you will also find a thick vegetation, a wonderful sea, a charming inlet, the mountain behind and the fishermen: an unforgettable landscape show. Portofino is entirely for pedestrians so you should stay here without a car and use public transportation.
The Portofino area is ideal for relaxing, hiking, practicing water sports and taking day trips to other areas of the Liguria Coast or to the Cinque Terre. Santa Margherita Ligure (just 4 km from the villa) is another beautiful, characteristic Ligurian seaside town with its port, where you will find anchored both fishing boats and luxury yachts.
