This beautiful vintage resort is a convenient base to explore the surrounding area. The historic heart of the town is a 15-minute walk from the building. There are regular boat services between the Porto Carlo Riva (6 minutes drive) and towns along the coast including Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure and the Cinque Terre. There is a lot to do out on the water. The sea is only a 5-minute walk away. Visitors can hire a boat, paddleboard or kayak. The town’s beaches are blessed with pristine clear seas, ideal for snorkelling or scuba diving. Rapallo’s weekly market, every Thursday, sells everything from the freshest local produce, to clothes and antiques. Otherwise, there are supermarkets and smaller grocery stores around the town. Away from the beach, visitors will find some spectacular hiking routes nearby on the promontory between Rapallo and Portofino. Portofino is a 2-hour walk along the spectacular coast. Alternatively, the Abbey of San Fruttoso (3 hours, 25-minute walk) makes a lovely day trip. The abbey can only be reached by boat or on foot. Visitors can soak up the atmosphere of this peaceful spot. Genova’s International Airport is just a 45-minute drive from the apartment.
