Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker knew what they were doing when they decided to marry in a lavish yet laid-back ceremony in Portofino, Italy, a few months ago. Like many others (Beyoncé, Jay-Z Rihanna, Steven Spielberg, and myself, for example) who found themselves equally swept away by its quaint and quiet charms, this town has seen its share of mega-watt celebrities.

But don’t let the media mislead you. Portofino exists for everyone despite what you may—or may not—have heard about it. And though it might seem like a visit is out of reach, there are ways to enjoy its wonders without keeping up with a Kardashian.
