It could easily be mistaken for a location in Tuscany with its colourful buildings, palm trees, and traditional Italian gelato shop.
You would be excused for thinking this stunning town, radiant with charm is nestled in the heart of Tuscany. However, it lies much nearer than you'd think - situated in Gwynedd, North Wales.
The town is steeped in history and has had its 15 minutes of fame featuring in screen hits. One TripAdvisor reviewer lavished praise saying: "There's a definite charm about the place, even visiting on a rainy day like we did, and you'd be hard pushed to find anything else like it." Meanwhile, one mother who posts her travel recommendations on Instagram under the moniker @thetravelmum, labelled the location as "amazing". Sharing snippets of her journey, she elaborated: "Portmeirion is a tourist village in north Wales, some say designed and built with inspiration from the Italian town of Portofino."
