Discover the destination
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.
Sea castle
Rapallo's 16th-century castle stands on a rock just metres from the shore, connected to the mainland by a bridge. At night it's lit up and reflected in the sea.
Lungomare Vittorio Veneto
The long palm-lined seafront boulevard is the heart of Rapallo life: bars, gelato shops, fishing piers and picture-postcard sunsets.
Montallegro cable car
The cable car climbs to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro (612 m): spectacular views over the Gulf of Tigullio and hiking trails.
Marina
Rapallo's marina is one of the best-equipped in Liguria. From here you can arrange trips to Portofino, the Cinque Terre and the islands.
