Quick Trip: 2 Days in Portofino
Day 1
You'll likely arrive by train, boat or taxi/bus from Santa Margarita Ligure. If you're fancy, you've already arrived on your mega yacht. For the rest of us, it's an easy transfer over to the town and you'll get a great view of the beautiful coastline whichever way you choose. Taxi is easiest from the train station.
Check in to your hotel--there aren't too many since Portofino is a small town. You may decide to stay back in S.Margarita and just take day trips over, that's great, too (perhaps not as glam, but we know some of us are on a budget).
If you want to be able to enoy the evening Portofino vibe, the Eight Hotel is a small boutique with a sister hotel in Paraggi. Both are reasonably glam and the lobbies scream fashion with their wallpaper, but the rooms are tiny. The Paraggi hotel is a bit more spacious, but out of the main town. However, if you can go FULL GLAM, book the Splendido (I mean, it'll give you a break from your mega yacht, right?)!
