Owner profile


rowing in Paraggi bay (1915)

About the owner
My mother's family owns the flat from 1887.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
My grand-grand-father, from Genoa, both the flat with the boathouse for give to his ten sons the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong, swimming, rowing and hiking in stunning landscapes. In the XIX century, Portofino was a little fisherman village, unknown from the newborn tourism. The only other tourists was two English brother and them family, living in the two castle of the area Castello Paraggi, in front of Niasca and castello Brown immediately above Portofino.

Unique benefits of the property
Nowadays a natural park and the protected bay of Paraggi bring back to the enchant of those days.
