With its auburn roofs and seamless walk-out access to the marina, it’s hard to believe that One&Only Portonovi hasn’t always been there, perched next to the Adriatic with its own little private beach wreathed by soaring peaks. But while these elegant Venetian-esque buildings weren’t constructed centuries ago, they were built with ultimate privacy and literally every age in mind. Of course, the usual standards expected from this polished brand are ever present, so you’re not losing out with any of the accommodations at this all-season resort. But it’s the private homes that take the cake – 10 individual villas with access to their own private beach (a rarity in Europe) and just crying out to be used for celebrations.
When it comes to exploring, the experiences with an emphasis on the local gems and surrounding Italian-lakes-meet-Norwegian-fjord landscape are the highlights. Like a boat tour of four islands to discover tales and crafts from folklore; or driving a vintage Rolls Royce Silver Shadow down coastal roads, ending with a private guided tour of Tito’s Villa museum and sunset wine tasting.
