Inspired by a village on the northern coast of Italy, Portofino is a unique and timeless community in Fort Myers, Florida. It is surrounded by lush preserve that is home to Florida’s well known natural wildlife and Portofino’s landscape was created so that there would be harmony between the surrounding ecosystem and the community.

The design of this community is truly imaginative. We can’t all afford to live in a 2-story, Italian inspired mansion, but what if you only owned a fourth of it? That is what Portofino has done! What looks like a gorgeous mansion that is way out of your price range is actually four attached villas each with it’s own 2 car garage and with 1,556 to 2,326 sq. ft. you will have plenty of space for your family. You will be living in Italian luxury at less than a fourth of the cost!

Portofino homes feature brick paver driveways and walkways, colonial windows, professionally designed landscaping, granite countertops, backsplash, ceramic tile, Victorian baseboards, custom wood windowsills with aprons, enamel wood trim finish, roman tub, designer chrome faucets and hardware and much more!

Find yourself transported to Italy and embraced by nature at Portofino! It really is unique living.

Portofino is located on Six Mile Cypress Pkway, one mile North of Daniels Pkway.
