The village and its surroundings constitute the Natural Park of Portofino, under protection since 1935, which is well worth a walk along its 70 kilometres of paths, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Mediterranean.

The village is very fancy and expensive, before to seat in restaurant check prices.
