Portofino Luxury Travel
Private Chauffeur, Yacht Charter & VIP Access on the Italian Riviera
Portofino — a horseshoe-shaped harbour of coloured houses, luxury yachts, and crystalline water — has long been the summer playground of international royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry. Access to the village is intentionally restricted: no traffic is permitted after a certain point, parking is limited, and berthing is exclusive. This is precisely where FFGR Italia becomes indispensable.
Private Transfer from Genoa or Milan
Portofino sits on a narrow promontory 35 kilometres east of Genoa. The approach road from Santa Margherita Ligure is one of the most scenic — and most congested — coastal drives in Italy. We time departures carefully to ensure smooth passage, use a Mercedes S-Class for the final approach, and coordinate direct berthing for arriving by private boat from Genoa or beyond.
Yacht Charter in the Tigullio Gulf
The Gulf of Tigullio surrounding Portofino is a protected marine reserve of extraordinary clarity. We arrange private yacht and motorboat charters ranging from a half-day Riva excursion to a multi-day charter aboard a sailing yacht. Key stops include Paraggi beach (accessible only by water or on foot), San Fruttuoso Abbey (reachable only by sea), and the snorkelling sites of Punta Chiappa.
Exclusive Hotels & Villas
Portofino's accommodation options are intentionally scarce and accordingly exclusive: Belmond Hotel Splendido and Splendido Mare, the Hotel Piccolo, and a select number of private villas available for weekly rental. We manage all logistics — check-in coordination, luggage transfer from the public parking area, and in-villa services.
Fine Dining at the Piazzetta
The Piazzetta di Portofino is one of Italy's most famous squares — a small, intimate space ringed by café tables and designer boutiques. Ristorante Il Pitosforo, perched dramatically on a cliff above the harbour, offers one of the most spectacular dining experiences on the Ligurian coast. Our concierge secures tables that are otherwise fully committed weeks in advance.
Day Trip from Cinque Terre
Portofino makes an excellent day trip from Cinque Terre, reached in under an hour by private boat or 45 minutes by chauffeur via the A12 motorway. We coordinate multi-destination Ligurian itineraries that combine Portofino's glamour with the authentic character of the five villages — a full day on the Riviera that covers the best of both worlds.
