With Clab Service you can book your itinerary by car to reach Portofino, the reference place for the international jet set, leaving from Genoa. That is to say the Ligurian city that concentrates the dreams of those people who love the sea and the romantic and timeless atmospheres of a city overlooking the Mediterranean.
The transfer from Genoa to Portofino starts exactly from the city where Cristoforo Colombo was born. According to tradition Clab Service can plan your travel as you prefer and you can choose to visit Genoa before leaving. Maybe you can have a look at San Lorenzo Cathedral or at the Doge’s Palace, the former palace of Genoa Republic governors. Do you prefer leaving immediately? No problem, welcome to Portofino!
Visit in Portofino
Portofino is a bay with a small natural wharf, but this is not the only feature which makes this place so memorable: around it there is a rich wood of Mediterranean vegetation and the village is full of history and beauty. As a matter of fact in the past Portofino was a Phoenician harbour, later conquered by Rome and by Genoa Republic.
Nowadays Portofino is a cultural meeting point, rather than a touristic one. This place has been the buen retiro for writers and philosophers like Nietzsche and Maupassant. Once reached its centre you can ask your driver for taking you to the hotel or going on with your tour on foot.
