Description:
Perched on Italy's northwest coast, Portofino is one of the most perfect, most photogenic fishing ports in the Mediterranean. Home to the exclusive Hotel Splendido, it has been a magnet for Europe's beau monde, from Rex Harrison to Elizabeth Taylor, for decades. (www.cntraveller.co.uk)
This 150 square metre apartment is a very rare find: it is situated right in the centre of Portofino on the famous Calata Marconi with 4 windows facing out to sea with views of Castello San Giorgio and the port area lined with the most sleek and stunning super yachts. Yet, despite its location, access is no problem as the apartment also has a service entrance at the back of the property allowing direct entry from the service road, unique in Portofino.
The apartment is on two floors with three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a storage area. All of Portofino's restaurants and bars around the Piazzetta are a short stroll away. Despite the high asking price, this apartment represents a significant investment opportunity given the rental income potential and return on investment guaranteed by its position.
Beautiful scenery and a stunning harbour have turned this elegant port into one of the most alluring destinations on the Italian Riviera. This tiny resort has an idyllic setting on the Ligurian coast and a wonderfully picturesque harbour. Surrounded by pine trees and olive groves, Portofino retains the charm of the original fishing village despite its jet-set reputation. The semi-circular waterfront is lined with pastel-coloured houses with frescoed faades and geranium-covered roof terraces and surrounded by pine trees and olive groves. The harbour itself is dotted with a variety of vessels - from little wooden fishing boats to huge yachts with full crews. The cobbled piazzetta in front of the harbour is the best place for eating, drinking or checking out the designer shops on the waterfront. (www.telegraph.co.uk)
