My dearest Spouses,
Autumn is also the season of the last on-site inspections at the wedding venues in Italy, before the break of the Christmas time, and I’m traveling along my country during these weeks ( you can follow my trips on my IG page : @elisaweddingplanner_italy ). Tuscany, Amalfi coast, lake Como… every destination and location always gives my a wonderful surprise and emotion.
And it was during one of my previous trips that I had the opportunity to visit again an uncommon, but also really evocative, Italian wedding destination: Liguria, especially the exclusive village of Portofino.
PORTOFINO, LUXURY AND INTIMATE VIBES ALONG THE LIGURIAN RIVIERA
Located in an intimate gulf and surrounded by a wonderful and blooming Mediterranean scrub, the village of Portofino is an enchanting, but also very exclusive, destination for unique holidays and high-end weddings in Italy. Thanks to its position, the weather and the temperatures are often mild and sunny, perfect to enjoy the village from the spring to the heart of autumn season… A joyful natural oasis along the Ligurian Riviera.
Famous all over the World for its unique beauty, it’s colourful houses and the beautiful square in front of the sea, Portofino is a renewed Italian destination, loved by International stars during the centuries.
Not for nothing, during the summertime, the bay in front of the village is full of boats and luxury yachts, as well as the boutiques of the most important brands and the restaurants are full of tourists.
Even if Portofino is surely a summer destination, I personally consider the autumn season a great occasion to appreciate it and to enjoy the authentic beauty of the village, without the crowed of the summer season… Peace, silence and mild temperatures to live the Italian Riviera from another point of view.
