One thing to be aware of - the apartment is on the top floor, with rather long and steep staircase and no elevator - anyone with mobility problems should take that into account."

Also only a single half staircase in the foyer to navigate with luggage. Easily done.The apartment is very clean and has everything one would need. The washer and clothesline for drying was much appreciated.Unfotunately the internet was down for most of our stay. Which was over a weekend so not easy to get service.

Top Rapallo Hotel Reviews

Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast

Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is a grand hotel built with other grand hotels throught Europe at the turn of the 20th century with the relatively new railroad providing comfortable "speedy" travel compared to ships and horse drawn carriages. The hotel keeps its historic charm with its architecture, antiques and paintings throughout but has been recently updated with all modern amenities. The staff is very professional and there is excellent room cleaning. The hotel has a commanding view of the Portofino Coast from Rapallo to Portofino and South towards Sestri Levante that one of the best in Italy. The Beach Club is right on the water with a heated infinity pool and spa. (Similiar to Santa Caterina in Amalfi and much nicer than the crowded ones in Capri.) It is a short pretty walk by the marina to Rapallo that is a vibrant Italian town. Nearby Portofino used to be a beautiful fishing village but gets overwhelmed with tourists and cruise ships. Rapallo has kept itself more authentic with more Italians than foreigners. We stayed here 3 times this year and plan to return."

"What a perfect find ... A absolutely perfect location ... Beautiful view right across the street from the sea and as well directly across the street literally from the ferry which takes you to the highly over rated Portofino (the ferry ride there was much better then the a tual destination!) 10 euros for a coke / 25 euro salad etc shockingly over priced and over rated destination....

Its 2 min from the train station so no need for a taxi and the ferry to Portofino is maybe 2 min from the hotel on the beach. The room was clean has a good AC system mini fridge nice soaps, everything you need. It was also pretty big for Italy standards. The staff cleans the room several times a day.
