Rapallo is a charming seaside town that lies on the bay of Portofino, just a short distance from both Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure. It is conveniently served by train and there are regular buses too, so sightseeing along the coast is simple.
Inghams operate a telephone Rep service in Rapallo.
This hotel stands out on Rapallo's coastline. It's a stunning Art Nouveau building with incredible outside areas and views from almost everywhere. We love the pool here that looks out over the sea and Portofino Promontory. The rooftop a la carte restaurant is a must-do and you can't miss aperitivo in the bar at sunset.
Hotel Excelsior Palace is the ultimate hotel for a 'La Dolce Vita' get-away. The stylish beach club is right on the sea with two infinity pools looking out over the Bay of Portofino, cabanas, a fantastic restaurant and even a private jetty where you can rent boats to sail down the Italian Riviera. The hotel's got a nice old-world charm with antiques, parquet floors and elegant public spaces. It's about a 15-minute walk from the centre of Rapallo.
This wonderful four day itinerary allows you to experience the best of Liguria at your own pace.
