Portofino Bay Hotel - Italian Style

With gas prices as high as they are, maybe a trip to Europe is not in your budget, so where can I go then?

Why not make a quiet escape to the sea-side village at Portofino Bay nestled in the middle of Italian shops and restaurants?

This beautiful resort will transport you to an Italian waterfront lined with gondolas and biege-burgandy-terra colored buildings.

Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Italian music emanating from a sound system as you take a nice guided tour on a gondola a long the waterfront of Portofino. Choose the level of room you desire for a whimsical view of the pristine pool surrounded by mulberry trees. Portofino is the ultimate escape for pampering and catering to your every whim.

Imagine reclining in a 450 sq ft garden view terrace in an airy golden themed guest room with King size beds. Perhaps a more picturesque elevated view overlooking the Bay of Portofino. Villas and hospitality rooms can offer from 620 to 920 sq ft of complete bliss for every imaginable group that you can think of.

A trip to Italy is not complete without the classical Italian dishes for the entire family. For starters check out Mama Della's Ristorante offering a menu of endless delectables deliciously prepared by culinary chefs. With casual conversation in the air combined with old Italian plates and utensiles, make the perfection combination to cause your imagination drift into an Italian home.

Enjoy the evening along with a wonderful seranade of "Fly me to the moon" while you eat your garlic bread, spaghetti, and meatballs. After a nostalgic dinner with the family, let Portofino transport you in their infamous water taxi directly to Universal Studio and Islands of Adventure.

Once there, flash your VIP status green card for immediate access to all the rides in the park.

Buen viaggio
