Luxury Life & Style - (Page 78) buon appetito! Villa d'Este Villa d'Este Mangiare al Mediterraneo Due west from fabulous Florence on the magical waters of the Mediterranean sits the jewel of the Italian coast – the Italian Riviera. The small fishing port of Portofino draws the big names and the even bigger boats of the beau monde and more. More than a few VIPs have signed the visitors’ book at the Hotel Splendido, a 16th-century monastery situated on a cliff over Portofino Bay. For handmade pappardelle with pesto and primo people watching, reserve an outdoor table at Ristorante Puny in the main square. After dark, grab a table on the terrace at Splendido’s Chuflay for a cocktail under the stars. An Italian Riviera getaway lingers in your heart and begs for a speedy return.
