The Portofino experience. We love at little stroll through Portofino Italy. The lovely piazza is filled with nice terraces and luxury brands all have a mini- shop around there. For evening dinner we recommend Steiner in the far out corner of the harbour. After an afternoon in Portofino there is nothing more relaxing than an Aperol Spritz in The Splendido hotel, with breath taking view of the harbour of Portofino. ps Portofino is very small 2- 3 hours is more than enough time to spend there.

I love dressing the table, especially with antique table silver. Mixing and matching different styles is very en vogue. These sets where lying on a local market in St. Tropez.

‘I found my love in Portofino,’ crooned Fred Buscaglione in the 1950’s when the Italian fishing village was about to become one of the world’s most glamorous destinations, with the Belmond Hotel Splendido as its centerpiece. Perched above the yacht-dotted bay, the hotel occupies a former 16th-century monastery; its sister property Splendido Mare, meanwhile, sits on the fabled Piazzetta. From the elegantly furnished bedrooms and ocean-view balconies to the infinity pool and four acres of olive-lined tropical gardens, the Splendido inspires pure romance; no wonder Richard Burton reportedly proposed to Elizabeth Taylor here. Signature restaurant La Terrazza specializes in regional cuisine, and diners sit on an alfresco terrace with views of Portofino Bay and the Tigullian Gulf.

Santa Margherita Ligure is that wonderfully old-fashioned kind of Riviera resort where palm fronds wave along the esplanade and foreign visitors spend a week or two out of season, enjoying the balmy climate, attractive views and comfortable long-established hotels. We just loved to linger around on the boulevard and enjoying the feeling of an era gone by.

Castello Canevaro is a family-run business, offering both the perfect location for weddings, unforgettable dinners and exclusive getaways in our beautiful rooms. Due to it’s location overlooking the stunning bay of Portofino, Castello Canevaro is placed in the perfect surroundings for a luxury wedding in the Italian Riviera. The Castle has been in the Canevaro family since 1870, when Giuseppe Canevaro first purchased the land and west-facing tower and later constructed the imposing structure overlooking Duke beach and Portofino. Castello Canevaro underwent a full refurbishment in 1998, commissioned by the current Duke of Zoagli, Emanuele Canevaro, as a result returning the Castle to its full glory and allowing the public to enjoy the Canevaro family’s rich history along the Ligurian coast line.

Old books are fun to decorate with, just tie them with some simple rope and place them in a room.
