O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Nadvijajući se nad tirkiznom lukom ispod, ova tvrđava iz 16. veka nekada je branila Portofino od gusarskih napada, a kasnije je postala utočište engleske aristokratije. Njene terasaste bašte bujaju od visterije, bugenvilije i limunovih stabala, pružajući neke od najfotografisanijih vidikovaca na italijanskoj rivijeri.
Istaknuto: Možete stajati na istim kamenim bedemima na kojima su britanski pesnik lord Bajron i spisateljica Meri Šeli provodili poslepodneva tokom svojih putovanja po Italiji 1820-ih. Privatna bašta zamka skriva viševekovnu cisternu koja skuplja kišnicu, još uvek funkcionalnu, a sada okruženu gajem maslina zasađenih pre više od 400 godina.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
