How do I find a place to live in Portofino?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Portofino, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small apartment to a large villa. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Portofino to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to the beach, while others may be more residential or closer to the town center. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Portofino, such as Immobiliare.it, Idealista, and Casa.it. These websites allow you to filter your search based on your preferences, such as the number of bedrooms, price range, and location. In addition to online platforms, you may also want to consider hiring a real estate agent. An agent can provide you with expert advice and help you navigate the local real estate market. They can also arrange viewings and handle negotiations on your behalf. When you find a property you're interested in, it's important to visit it in person before making a decision. This will give you a chance to inspect the property and get a feel for the neighborhood. Finally, once you've found your ideal home, you'll need to sign a lease or purchase agreement. This should be done with the assistance of a lawyer to ensure that all the legalities are properly handled. Remember, moving to a new country can be a complex process, so it's important to do your research and seek professional advice when necessary," explained one person living in Portofino, Italy.
