Faro 10
A splendid villa on the Italian Riviera : Portofino, Liguria
Nice little touches
- This villa is a wonderful place to reconnect with nature, right on the coast and with access to a private diving platform.
Good to know
- Access to the villa is solely by foot, making it unsuitable for individuals with walking difficulties. We advise that guests take this into consideration when planning their stay at the villa.
- There is no parking available at or near the house. However, if you do arrive by car, parking facilities are available in a garage located in town for your convenience.
- Access to the centre of Portofino is restricted to traffic. A 24-hour car park is available, but parking fees can be considerable, therefore the most convenient transportation options to town are taxi, boat, or bus.
Nestled within the protected area of the Portofino peninsula, Faro offers an exclusive retreat with a private rock swimming platform and direct access to the sea. Spread across two levels, the villa features a spacious terrace adorned with a centuries-old wisteria and a panoramic solarium.
Although just a 20-minute walk from Portofino's renowned harbour, the villa is accessible only on foot and includes multiple stairways connecting the entrance gate, house, and platform, making it unsuitable for individuals with walking difficulties.
Anyone who stays in Portofino must know how to adapt to the rhythms of a city that is entirely for pedestrians. It is best to stay here without a car and use public transportation.
Accommodation
The main level of the villa has a living room with sliding French windows opening onto the patio, a dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, spacious terrace, and a studio.
Also on this floor is a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom featuring a bathtub. Another bathroom serves one twin/double bedroom, with a separate bathroom with a shower in the corridor. A third twin/double bedroom has a bathroom with a bathtub and shower head, also in the corridor. Upon request and at an additional cost, a single bedroom can accommodate one extra guest. One bedroom offers garden views, while the other three boast sea views.
On the lower level, guests will find two twin/double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower, offering sea views.

How to book
Is Faro perfect for you?
For availability and pricing see the calendar above. To book online click on your desired arrival date, then on the departure date. The calendar will grey out dates for stay lengths that are not accepted - most villas book Sat to Sat but many also allow shorter stays or odd dates.
If you have any questions or would like help choosing, we visit our properties regularly and can help you select the best villa for your holidays.
We can hold dates for you for 48 hours while you make sure everything lines up, then you simply pay the deposit (30% of total) to secure your booking. The balance will then be due 10 weeks before you travel.
Easy cancellation
Simply add "XCover" to your booking for a full refund if you can't travel. For more details see our Booking Conditions and XCover. You can add XCover to your booking at any time until you have paid your balance, ask your agent. If you simply need to change your dates please let us know: we can often modify your booking rather than cancelling outright.
Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
Not sure?
It can often be faster to contact us to ask for advice - we visit all the houses so can give you first hand advice based on your wishlist. Once you find a villa you like we can hold dates for you for around 48 hours while you check flights or make sure everybody is on board.
