Portofino, the romantic paradise of the jet set

Portofino is the favourite tourist town of the jet set, and it has been so immortalized in movies and songs, that its name is recognizable all over the world as a romantic paradise.
The resort is set in a pleasant location on a harbour, where the water reflects all the light coloured little houses running along it, yacht owners find this harbour the ideal refuge, while they tour the interior.
In the past artists came here in droves and over the next few decades, the town became known as a celebrity hideaway.

Many famous people could be seen arriving by yacht, lounging poolside at the luxury hotels, and vacationing in private villas in the hills, including Rex Harrison and Elizabeth Taylor.
The Splendido Hotel alone has hosted such illustrious guests as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Ernest Hemingway, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Aristotle Onassis, Clark Gable, and John Wayne.
The number of stars and VIPs visiting Portofino has come down, but some rich and powerful people still occupy those private villas, and they stay right alongside the tourists who come by the busloads.
