The general Portofino article covers the destination broadly. This piece addresses what Portofino specifically asks of women — the Belmond Splendido on the hillside above the harbour, the piazzetta, and the boat trips to San Fruttuoso abbey.

For the Belmond Hotel Splendido. The hillside villa hotel above Portofino — the Belmond property that has defined the luxury register of the village for over a century. The hotel's terrace with its harbour view is the most observed social occasion in Portofino. The Amelia linen dress shirt in Oyster with walnut buttons for the Splendido terrace; the Amelia in Coral Orange for the vivid statement that the colourful harbour backdrop rewards.

For the piazzetta and the harbour. The small square at the centre of Portofino — the outdoor restaurants, the boutiques, the harbour with its painted facades. A PP women's linen shirt in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes or sandals.

For the boat to San Fruttuoso. The abbey accessible only by sea — a white PP ladies linen set for the boat; natural swim shorts for the pebble beach swim.

For the Portofino evening. The harbour restaurant or the Splendido terrace — the Amelia in Oyster or Hibiscus; leather heels or mules.
