8Portofino, Italy
Tiny Portofino has become synonymous with Italian glamour. Pastel-colored buildings surround a small harbor filled with luxury yachts, while the hills behind the town are covered in Mediterranean vegetation.
Despite its small size, Portofino offers an impressive concentration of stylish hotels, fine restaurants and boutiques. The atmosphere becomes particularly magical in the evening, when the harbor lights reflect across the water.
For a more exclusive experience, explore the surrounding coastline by boat or walk through the hills to viewpoints overlooking the Ligurian Sea. Portofino is compact, glamorous and almost impossibly photogenic.
