What are the benefits of flying private to Portofino?

Portofino has no airport of its own, so flying into Genoa's dedicated business aviation terminal and continuing by car or helicopter avoids the Riviera's notorious summer road traffic.

What aircraft can I use for private flights to Portofino?

Midsize and super-midsize jets like the Citation Latitude and Challenger 350 comfortably handle European routes into Genoa, with heavier aircraft available for longer international arrivals.

How far in advance should I book my flight?

Summer weekends fill quickly, so we recommend booking several weeks ahead during peak season; shoulder-season trips typically allow for shorter notice.

Can I bring pets or extra luggage?

Yes, in most cases, though international pet travel requires advance documentation. Let us know your requirements early so we can plan the Genoa transfer accordingly.

Is Portofino a good destination for a private getaway?

Yes. Its combination of a working yacht harbor, cliffside trails, and low-key luxury make it one of the Mediterranean's most requested seasonal escapes.
