In Portofino, glamour has always been more than spending power. It is timing, composure, and the choreography of arrival.
How the jet-set chapter began
The cove offered a rare combination: privacy with visibility. People could arrive discreetly yet still participate in an unmistakably elegant social stage.
Myth vs reality
| Myth | Reality |
|---|---|
