Overrated with 5 stars

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Comments : Crumbles on the bedtable - holes in sheets - used waterbottles in fridge - Friendly staff and hospitality. Parking possibility is free. Great outside heated pool and hot tub. Simple breakfast - fresh juice - nice decor - not 5 star hotel

Top notch! Classy and luxurious

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Wow!! A little get away for a friends birthday. This hotel is top class! Luxurious! We had a suite which was beautiful with a balcony we could sit on and soak in the beautiful view of the coast. Staff attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful. Restaurant choice great, limited if you don't like fish but they were happy to cook chips for husband.

Magnificent hotel!!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

A wonderful hotel with history. The highest level of service, attention and attitude towards clients. Yes, the hotel may have some imperfections in the decoration of the rooms - it is not new, but it definitely has the spirit of the old school five-star luxury hotels that you feel when you cross the threshold. Classic disign, paintings on the walls, waiters in the white uniform... For us - we really liked everything - the quality of the room, the bed, the view, the service. Very tasty breakfast. Well equipped gym, heated pool. Free parking. Will return here again with great pleasure.

Beautiful hotel in spectacular location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 months ago

What a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. From the minute we arrived the service was exceptional. The style and furnishings are grand and charming and the view is spectacular. We dined in the restaurant and had a fabulous meal with outstanding service from Marco. We also enjoyed drinks in the bar. Our room was so lovely. It has been the most wonderful visit and all the hotel staff from the concierge to the bar servers have looked after us so well. The hotel is very well located allowing you to stroll into Rapallo for a meal or a short drive to Portofino or another of the nearby villages. What started as a one night stop over on our way to Spain has ended in us planning our return for a week later in the year. We adored our visit to this stunning place.

High Quality Service In All Aspects

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 months ago

Upon arrival the reception staffs were so great, the room we have this time is an ocean view compared to what we had last September 2018. This is our second time stay here and it was recommended by my family here in Rapallo. All the staff from breakfast room, the bar, the pool and spa staff and room service staff are all rendering high standard service that makes people come back. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone! See you next year.
