Bha Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, a rinn an dealbhachadh ann am Portmeirion, dìreach ag iarraidh baile a chruthachadh aig a bheil coltas is faireachdainn [[Am Muir Meadhanach|meadhan-thìreach]]. Dhiùlt e beachdan bho dhaoine eile, gun robh am baile seo a dh'aon rùn mar [[Portofino]] anns [[an Eadailt]]. Ach tha e ag aideachadh gun robh gaol aige air a' bhaile Eadailteach:
<blockquote> "''How should I not have fallen for Portofino? Indeed its image remained with me as an almost perfect example of the man-made adornment and use of an exquisite site''."<ref>Headley, Gwyn and Meulenkamp, Wim.

Sgrìobh Lewis Mumford caibideil mu Phortmeiron anns an leabhar aige "''The Highway and the City''"
<blockquote>
''...[Williams-Ellis] is equally at home in the ancient, traditional world of the stark Welsh countryside and the once brave new world of "modern architecture." ... In a sense, Portmeiron is a gay, deliberately irresponsible reaction against the dull sterilities of so much that passes as modern architecture today''.<ref>Lewis Mumford: ''The Highway and the City'' Harcourt 1963 ISBN 0156402165</ref></blockquote>
