Hotel Italia e Lido Rapallo

location & view fromroom bathroom size, breakfast

Very kind and helpful staff with big smile and english knowledge. The hotel is on the seaside, 5 minutes walk from the train station, near restaurants and shopping facilities. There was hot water during the night and free internet from the hall.

Excellent location. Fantastic view. Staff was great. Great value. Exceeded expectations.

The hotel is very comfortable and has this special ambience of a stay with friends. The location is perfect: beautiful and right on the sea-side next to the ancient castle. It is close to the old town, ferries and the railway station. The staff are very friendly, efficient and helpful. The breakfast was good and definitely much better than expected from a 3* hotel. The standards of cleanleness are very high. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would love to return one day. The hotel beach is the only "weak spot". It is quite small and could use some cleaning, especially after rains and storms. I never used it. However, I would like to add that Rapallo is an ideal base for exploring Liguria but not a beach place. It has a town beach but swimming there is not so pleasant because of proximity of the marina and ferries that come and go every hour. St-Michael (20 min walk from Rapallo) is a good place to swim.
