I love this beautiful small town. I was there on 1st Jan 2020 and not many people at all during the winter season, almost all the shops were opened. From Portofino we had a quick stop in Genoa & continue our journey to Nice, France, then continue on to Cannes, Monaco, Eze, shopping at Serravalle outlet & Milan. It was a fun 2 weeks. Can't wait to visit Italy again. Thank you for sharing this lovely video & as always love all your videos.
Thank you so much for the lovely input we will be visiting this place shortly after my daughter‘s wedding in Lake Maggiore . I already feel I have reached there with your wonderful announcements and attention to detail great job thank you very much for sharing
You can now read my story about Portofino on my new website: townsofeurope.com/Italy/north-riviera/Portofino.html which has text, pictures and video, part of a new series about Europe towns I am building.
Dennis' voice reminds me of a car with excellent suspension, it just floats along, ironing out all the bumps & potholes as we go. Not always the best thing for contact with real terrain, but a nice ride...
That's a creative way of complimenting me, thanks very much. As you viewers know, I always provide lots of descriptions and comments about where we are, unlike most YT travel vids, which are only visual, without intellectual content.
Actually, providing interesting narration is the most challenging part of the process, requiring lots of research to figure out what to say, writing an outline, then voicing it without sounding boring or flat, but not yelling at you.
@@denniscallan Too many Americans are yelling these days - too much even of that Can become rather boring. A good time to be abroad - circumstances permitting.. :)
Portofino should be on everyone’s bucket list. I took the boat from Santa Margarita to Portofino. I regret not going early morning and staying late. We bought a return ticket but should of purchased a one way and take taxi back late at night. I must go again! 🙂
Great video! It reminds me of my trip in 2009. Don’t forget that there is a beautiful walking path from the harbor to the grand hotel, Splendido. Awe! The views from the hotel are just magnificent and will always be my main love for Italy. ❤️
Oh this channel is just what I need for a pre-Christmas and once again Covid-lockdown (in Los Angeles) weekend ...so relaxing and inviting to dream of travel ...!
Dennis, now that I live in Hawaii I am looking forward to adventuring with you on one of your future tours when this covid-19 crisis has passed. I have been a follower and fan for many years!
@@denniscallan To have an opportunity to enjoy panzerotti at Luini's with you would be amazing! I have craved a return since my first visit on your recommendation back in 2013. I will be watching for price and booking.
Thank you for being such a regular viewer! I like to visit that area in early October, when the boats are still going, the crowds are less and the weather is usually perfect.
Thank you for your reply! We are going to Italy this September for the first time. We are going to Rome, Tuscany, Portofino (just for day), Cinque Terre and Venice. Cannot wait!
@@kimberlylewis3130 You are going to blow your mind! That is the best itinerary imaginable. For my many tips, scripts, pics, maps and videos about Italy see my new website townsofeurope.com/Italy/Italy.html
@@denniscallan I will definitely visit your website...thank you for that! I just changed our hotel location from LaSpezia to Santa Magherita since it made more sense after watching your Cinque Terre/Portofino videos. THANK YOU!!! I'm re-watching now and taking more notes!

I found my love in Portofino !!! Perche nei sogni credo ancor Lo strano giecco del destino A Portofino ; m'ha preso il cuor... D A L I D A. we love you so much..
By accident discovered your channel, while looking for informed for our next holiday. I loved every minute of your videos… can you tell me with what it is filmed?
Your videos is excellent as well as your comments, but there are some missing places like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macao and Beijing, because you already been there.
Thanks for your precious information about the small path leading up to have that gorgeous view from above
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks a lot for your clean introduction ! Charming small village.

I envy you. Would dream of taking a similar 1 week trip
Hello! So I wasn't that bad the weather on January? I'm planing to go next year on January ❤
Thank you, Mr. Callan for your adventures and tips.
4:40 - an amazing view.

That would have been better, early boat one-way and taxi (or city bus) back to SML.

You would be very welcome to join! I am considering a Northern Italy train tour for October next year, a small group, less than 20 travelers.

So charming :)

som vanlight alltid njutbart tack dennis
beautiful city i love it
Very good message 👍
Thanks brother
I would extend that walk all the way to the Light House for a nice view. And if you are in season, April forward. They serve local beer.
Good suggestion, especially with beer at the end of the path.
Thanks for your informative videos! We have watched them multiple times over! Can you tell me what month you went to Portofino? I think I missed that.

Your great man 👌
I am very happy
very impressive video, thank you so much. Even better than Rick Steves
1:39 - The narrow road.
I found my love in Portofino !!!
Perche nei sogni credo ancor
Lo strano giecco del destino
A Portofino ; m'ha preso il cuor...
D A L I D A. we love you so much..
Love from Pakistan. Ciao
I like your channel
Beautiful video. Wondering if this is recent given the travel restrictions on people from the US getting entrance to Italy.
Conheci , estivi por duas vesés é Linda.
So beautiful 😍 💖
so niceee!
💚 Adoro!
Amazing scenes in the time of Covid. Not a mask in sight. People living their lives normally. Not a mask in sight. Refreshing to see.
Italians are smart and realize that a layer of fabric can not stop a microscopic germ.
Lavasa🤣
There is a place name lavasa in india almost same like portofino but not that much crowded
Piękne miasto znam piosenkę po polsku Portofino Może kiedyś odwiedzę to miejsce
By accident discovered your channel, while looking for informed for our next holiday. I loved every minute of your videos… can you tell me with what it is filmed?
Glad you liked it. I filmed it with an iPhone 11 in 4k.
You were in Portofino in October. Were people swimming in the ocean there in October?
❤❤
Beautiful ... can you please say when this was filmed?
last year, October
Your videos is excellent as well as your comments, but there are some missing places like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macao and Beijing, because you already been there.
I am coming soon
Denniscallan, what the weather hot enough to swim? would like to visit early October like you but want to enjoy the water as well
early October is probably too chilly to swim comfortably
There I had the most expensive cocktail in my life!
I was there in 1996
How to get Protofino from cinque terre by train?Is there any direct train?
No train in Portofino. You take the public bus (or the short boat ride, very scenic) to Santa Margherita then catch the train.
@@denniscallan Thank you sir. It's really help.
Are you required to wear long pants and covered shoulders to enter the churches in Portofino and Santa Margherita?
no

Too many boats, it would look better without those boats
