We asked people living in Portovenere to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Portovenere, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier, layered clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and its beautiful surroundings. You should also pack a swimsuit for the beach and a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. A raincoat or umbrella might be useful as well, as Portovenere can experience occasional rain showers. Bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack travel-sized toiletries to use until you can purchase more locally. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some non-perishable food items to tide you over until you can go grocery shopping. Don't forget to pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, pack any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. You may also want to bring a power adapter, as Italy uses a different type of plug than many other countries. Remember to leave some space in your luggage for any items you might want to purchase while living in Italy, such as local clothing or souvenirs," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Portovenere, Italy.
