Teave
Kiired faktid: Kõrgel all oleva türkiissinise sadama kohal asuv see 16. sajandi kindlus kaitses kunagi Portofinot piraadirünnakute eest ja sai hiljem inglise aristokraatia puhkepaigaks. Selle terrassaiad õitsevad lilla- ja punase kibuvitsa, bougainvillea ja sidrunipuudega, pakkudes mõnda kõige fotogeenilisemat vaadet Itaalia Rivieral.
Esiletõstmised: Võite seista samadel kivimüüridel, kus Briti poeet Lord Byron ja kirjanik Mary Shelley veetsid pärastlõunaid oma Itaalia-reisidel 1820. aastatel. Lossi eraaed varjab sajanditevanust vihmavee kogumiseks mõeldud tsisterni, mis on endiselt töökorras ja mida ümbritseb rohkem kui 400 aastat tagasi istutatud oliivipuude salu.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
