Glimpses of the Mediterranean.

Santa Margherita Italian resort near Portofino, if you walk from Santa Margherita you will be amazed by the beautiful homes and wonderful views of the Mediterranean sea. It only takes an hour or so and is quite spectacular.

The path between the two towns

A delightful one hour walk between Santa Margherita & Portofino.

Many luxury hotels here

As you can see it is the “off season” with no tourists to be seen. 🙂

Lots of restaurants to choose from here.

So many beautiful homes

Santa Margherita Italian resort

Santa Margherita Ligure is a fair-sized town; large enough not to seem smothered by the tourism which has been an integral part of the town’s existence for decades. The harbor mainly caters for luxury yachts, but the town is also home to a small fishing fleet which can be seen unloading opposite the  morning fish market. There are wide ranges of hotels and restaurants, and many good day trips to make if you get tired of wandering along the laid back seafront.

I walked to Portofino & caught the ferry back.

The Mediterraneo Hotel

My hotel offered good price and excellent restaurant. For the budget minded like myself it makes more sense to stay in Santa Margherita and visit Portofino on foot or by ferry. The Lido Palace is on the beach if you want to go upmarket, my hotel was one block back and reasonable priced, with free car parking,

The Mediterraneo.

A very good restaurant here that seems to specialise in home cooked style food.
