Pretending to be a Celebrity in Portofino, Italy

Tucked into the side of a steep wooded promontory, Portofino, playground of the rich and famous, is considered one of the most beautiful harbors in the Mediterranean. The multi-colored pastel buildings, originally fishermen's homes, squeezed around the waterfront are occupied by designer boutiques offering chic accessories and expensive outfits. The harbor is dwarfed by sleek luxury yachts, although small fishing boats can still be seen manoeuvring through the tangle of pleasure boats in the tiny bay. The waterfront is lined with canopied outdoor cafes, the best spot to enjoy an aperitif, a glass of wine, or a meal of local seafood. From behind your sunglasses, absolutely obligatory in Portofino, soak up the ambiance and celebrity spot to your heart’s content.
