Best Luxury Hotels in Rapallo
Perched on the Italian Riviera in the Liguria region, between Portofino and Chiavari, Rapallo enjoys a gorgeous location. It also has a long history dating back to the pre-medieval era and one of the few sandy beaches to be found on the country’s east coast. A popular pilgrimage site, many come here to visit the high Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro; others to climb the same hill and admire the sea views — there’s a cable car if you’d rather glide to the top in seconds. Book a stay in Rapallo and enjoy la Dolce Vita awhile.
