Why RAPALLO is the perfect holiday destination

Rapallo is the grande dame of the Gulf of Tigullio: a long tree-lined seafront promenade, a castle that appears to float on the sea, and palm trees and bougainvillea throughout the town centre. An elegant beach resort since the 19th century, it retains the Riviera's charm without Portofino's price tag. The thermal spa, marina, seafood restaurants and cable car to the Montallegro Sanctuary make it an ideal base for exploring Liguria. With CasaViva find apartments to suit every taste, steps from the centre or with views over the Gulf.
