portofino historic houses

A pearl protected by its shell ñ thatís how Portofino appears to the visitors when coming from the Sea. As a matter of fact, it is a well-protected bay both for its conformation and for the mountain of Portofino which faces the sea and forms a cliff of some kilometers whose eastern end is the Punta del Faro. Indeed, the good geographical position has attracted human settlements since ancient times. To understand the beauty and the particularity of Portofino you have to look at it from the small square of the church of San Giorgio overhanging the promontory and dominating the village. From this point you can see at a single glance the port and the row of colored houses with their characteristic decorations.
