Portofino Stroll, Castle Brown & Cocktails

Portofino Stroll, Castle Brown & Cocktails

Portofino is known as the resort of the rich and famous, but there is more to see here than just people. As you come ashore today join your guide for a 10-minute walk to Castle Brown which overlooks, from above the Gulf of Tigullio, the seafaring village of Portofino, one of the most beautiful and famous places in the world.

Explore Castle Brown, with its Mediterranean garden rich of flowers, pergolas and rose gardens together with a breathtaking view over the bay. Examine the bas-reliefs and revivalist architectural features in marble and slate and majolica tiles. There is also a great triptych work of art from the Sixteenth century and carved marble figures from the thirteenth century.

After exploring the Castle, proceed to the Portofino lighthouse for an aperitif for SeaDream guests in a venue with spectacular view. Then follow your guide to the Church of St. George, where the bones of the dragon-slaying saint are buried. Visit the church, admire the view and take some pictures of the gulf before proceeding to the exclusive Piazzetta, where your guide, after a brief introduction will depart. You may return with the guide or choose to stay in town and make your way back to the yacht at your leisure.

Notes: This tour is not wheelchair accessible. It involves a moderate level of walking on inclines, uneven surfaces, and a few steps at both Castle Brown and St. George’s Church, so guests should be comfortable walking uphill for extended periods. If the aperitif venue is not available due to circumstances beyond our control, a similar venue will be substituted based upon availability. The experience is entirely on foot. Recommended attire includes comfortable clothing and walking shoes. Guests may return to the yacht independently. A minimum number of participants is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures, and some may have limited capacity. Please book on the Seadream.com website, or onboard, early to avoid disappointment. All adventures in the SeaDream Yachting Land Adventures program are subject to change. Final departure times will be published on board.
