A sunny day in Portofino

  • 8.45am - Wake up at the Hotel Belmond Splendido. We know it's a bit pricey, but you've got the right to dream, don't you? This hotel is said to be spectacularly beautiful and, above all, typically Italian! So much so, you'd think you were in a movie...

There's obviously a swimming pool where you can take a dip, all in your ANJA swimsuit from our Summer 2020 collection: Una bella giornata al sole

 

 

 

9.30am - We head for the town a little further on bikini bottom, as our craving for a Cappucino is getting stronger and stronger! We head for the Bar Mariuccia, renowned for its coffees and cappucinos. This place is also extremely popular with the few locals who live in Portofino in summer! To tell you the truth, it's a must...

 

 

10.30am - Yoga at La Portofinese. Because good habits die hard, and even in summer you can still work on your Summer Body, we're taking you to a yoga session at La Portofinese! Well-being guaranteed!

 

 

 

 

11:50 - After this Zen moment, we head into town for a shopping spree! The purchase of our swimsuit de bain Anja was obviously the most important purchase of the season, but how could we not fall for the On Via Roma selection? Come on, a little extra pleasure to brighten up this dream day.

 

 

12:45 - We're hungry! Time for lunch! Off to Chuflay: The place to be! Dark glasses, Anja blouse delicately tied at the waist, wicker bag from the Anja * Muun collaboration, we slip into this Italian setting and without further ado sample the light dishes of this renowned restaurant on the Amalfi Coast!

 

 

 

2:00 pm - Departure for the Abbey of San Fruttuoso beach. Time to sunbathe in your favorite swimsuit Anja! And for this trip we've chosen the sportiest model in our Summer 2020 collection: Il Artistico, but not just any model! The navy blue and orange one, the one that reminds us of the parasols on Portofino's famous beaches...

 

 

15H00 - Kayak rental. At Anja's, we're big fans of the beach, of spending time with family and friends, on our deckchair reading a book, or on the sand building castles with our kids... but we also love doing activities! Whether it's sporting or cultural, we love it! So today's program includes kayaking! With our swimsuit Il Artistico on our backs, we're ready for anything!

 

 

17H00 - Walk from the port to the lighthouse. We end the day with a final walk lasting around an hour. We start at the town's harbor and make our way to Portofino's famous lighthouse.

 

 

6.00 pm - We get down to serious business, with a well-deserved aperitif at the Al Faro bar at the foot of the lighthouse! For me, wife Anja, it'll be a Spritz please!

 

 

7.30 pm - Dinner in town at Da Puny. Our last dinner in town was at Da Puny, a restaurant on Portofino harbor. A perfect place to savor this sunny day spent in my Anja outfit... Obviously, I never travel without my swimsuit one-piece Anja bathing suit, my blouse and my Cart wicker Anja... I think I'm ANJA Addict!
