The exotic Ferrari Portofino is named after the swanky seaside resort of Portofino in Italy. If you are on holiday in Genoa, Portofino is an hour drive away, along the beautiful coastal road of the Italian Riviera. Plan a trip to Portofino, on to Sestri Levante and end at the cliff-hanging villages of Cinque Terre. Nothing beats a road trip in an open-top show-off car in true Italian style.

Settle into your exquisite Ferrari Portofino and drive to the Caffè Fratelli Nadotti on Via della Maddalena in the heart of the historic centre, for breakfast. They specialise in the best varieties of Arabica and Robusta home brewed coffee. Sip a cup with a scrumptious waffle or a toasted ham and cheese with a difference! Enjoy the vibe of this small and atmospheric café run by two very friendly brothers.
Head out of Genoa on an hour’s drive along the A12 to Portofino. Sprint from 0 to 100lm/h in just 3.2 seconds and enjoy the spine-tingling roar of the engine. This model is an ultra-stylish integration of coupé and convertible, beautifully designed with luxurious interior fittings. The cabin offers a sporty feel with a flat-bottomed steering wheel and a digital display gauge with a centrally mounted tachometer. Passengers can become part of the driving experience with a secondary gauge that shows info such as speed, G-force and engine revs.
Portofino, located on a small peninsula, is the playground of the movers and shakers. Drive down to the harbour and admire the luxurious multi-million dollar yachts moored in the water. Take a stroll around and enjoy the designer shops. Art lovers must visit the Museo del Parco, an outdoor sculpture museum on the hillside. This open-air venue offers scenic views and features both classic and contemporary works of art.
If you are up for a walk, park your Ferrari Portofino for all to admire and take the path to the Lighthouse. It offers fabulous views and a restaurant where you can cool off sipping some famous icy cold limoncello. Then visit the lovely Church of San Giorgio, legend says that it brings love and romance to those who pray inside.
Settle down for lunch at La Taverna del Marinaio, a traditional, local restaurant with tables on the dock. The interior is decorated in nautical Ligurian style and the speciality is freshly prepared seafood.
Continue your drive to Sestri Levante, a lovely seaside village. Stop at Spiaggia Baia del Silenzio, a small bay beach where you can take a dip in the ocean to cool off. After soaking up the sun on the sand, stroll around the walled Old Town. It is famous for ancient olive groves and olive production. Make sure you buy a bottle of extra virgin olive oil to take back with you.
Your drive continues to Cinque Terre, along the A12, a distance of around 45km. Cinque Terre is a unique setting of five ancient fishing villages perched at breathtaking heights on the cliffs overlooking the sparkling blue ocean. The buildings appear to hang perilously off the rocks and are painted in colourful pastel shades. The best way to explore this UNESCO heritage site is to park your car and stroll down the small winding streets to the waterfront. Take a trip on a boat with a local fisherman and see the breathtaking sights from the water.
Drive back to Genoa in your Ferrari Portofino. We can collect your rental whenever you are ready to return home. We can also arrange to collect your car in another city if you are continuing to Milan or Bologna - we will fit in with your itinerary.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s film may well be classified as a satirical comedy, but if there is one thing that the fictitious dictator Gen. Aladeen takes very seriously, it’s his outrageous fleet of luxury cars. Our team at Europe Luxury Cars is proud to have been a key supplier of high-end (and sometimes over-the-top) cars for all scenes filmed in Europe.
When the legendary motor show dedicated a special to the south of Spain, they relied on Europe Luxury Cars to supply some of the most prestigious vehicles the region has to offer. The special was aptly titled Supercars in Spain (Series 20, Episode 3) where Jeremy, James and Richard each did their best to make these supercars shine.
