DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This coast of Italy has long been a place of summer residences and an important vacation destination. Visitors return, time and again, for the area’s tranquility and beauty. Many of the towns and villages dotting the Gulf of Tigullio’s coast are resort towns. One of these is charming Santa Margherita Ligure, a little piece of heaven with its pedestrianized town center and lovely beaches on the azure sea.

More upscale is the tiny town of Portofino; cradled in the lush surroundings of a protected land and marine area, this colorful little gem is noted for the super yachts bobbing placidly in its natural harbor. You’ll visit both of these lovely destinations, enjoying the coastal scenery as you drive between them.
