Cruise the Italian Riviera with luxury car rental in Portofino, arranged for your hotel or villa on the Tigullio coast, for Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo, and for Genoa Airport (GOA). Hire a convertible, a sports car, a prestige car or a luxury SUV and follow the coast where it leads. Convertible rental in Portofino suits the bay road, and exotic car hire suits the bends toward Sestri Levante.
Portofino is a village of roughly 380 residents, a small place with a long memory. Pliny the Elder called it Portus Delphini, the Port of the Dolphin, and in 986 the village passed to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte by a diploma of Adelaide of Italy. Saint George is the patron, and his relics are kept in the church of San Giorgio.
Above the harbour stands Castello Brown, a sixteenth-century fortress that inspired Elizabeth von Arnim's novel The Enchanted April after she stayed there. The village sits on the Gulf of Tigullio, between Santa Margherita Ligure and the coast beyond, and Rapallo and Chiavari lie along the same shore.
Lower the roof for the short run along the gulf. Paraggi sits roughly 3 kilometres from Santa Margherita Ligure, where the Genoese built a castle in 1550 against pirate raids and the park of Villa Durazzo spreads beside it. Rapallo follows, with its small sea castle dated 1551. The air smells of salt and pine resin, boats rock in the harbours, and the open car makes the whole stretch feel like a slow afternoon.
Southeast along the shore, a sports car or exotic makes the most of the curves. Sestri Levante lies about 40 kilometres southeast of Genoa, on a former island joined to the mainland, with the Bay of Silence on one side and the Bay of Fables on the other. Between the headlands your pulse rises as the road flicks left and right above the water, and the engine note ricochets off the rock. Park in the town and let the car cool while you look out over the bays.
Save the long drive south for a touring coupe or a roomy SUV. Portovenere stands at the tip of its peninsula, around 3 kilometres south of La Spezia, where the Church of St Peter has overlooked the water since 1198 and the Doria Castle guards the harbour. The village and the Cinque Terre share a UNESCO listing from 1997. Soft leather, a quiet engine and the sea glinting between the pines make the drive down unhurried.

A convertible fits the bay road and the short hops along the gulf. A sports car or exotic suits the curves toward Sestri Levante, while a grand tourer or SUV is the choice for longer days south.
Santa Margherita Ligure is the neighbouring town, and the village of Paraggi lies about 3 kilometres from it on the way.
Santa Margherita Ligure is about 35 kilometres southeast of Genoa.
