O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Nadviđajući se nad tirkiznom lukom u nastavku, ova tvrđava iz 16. stoljeća nekoć je branila Portofino od piratskih napada, a kasnije je postala utočište engleske aristokracije. Njeni terasasti vrtovi bujaju glicinijom, bugenvilijom i limunovim drvećem, nudeći neke od najfotografiranijih vidika na talijanskoj rivijeri.
Istaknuto: Možete stajati na istim kamenim bedemima na kojima su britanski pjesnik Lord Byron i spisateljica Mary Shelley provodili poslijepodneva tijekom svojih putovanja Italijom 1820-ih. Privatni vrt dvorca skriva stoljećima staru cisternu koja skuplja kišnicu, još uvijek funkcionalnu, a sada okruženu gajem maslina zasađenih prije više od 400 godina.
Insajderski savjeti
- Skip the small interior rooms and head straight for the garden terraces and ramparts, the real highlights.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes: the climb from the harbor up Via alla Penisola is steep cobblestone.
- Bring a small pair of binoculars to spot the tiny island of San Fruttuoso from the eastern parapet.
- Visit on a weekday in May to experience the gardens at their peak with minimal other visitors.
