Rapallo

Rapallo, the pearl of Portofino Coast

Nestled within a bay embraced by hills, squeezed between sky and sea, the city of Rapallo emerges in all its colours alongside its majestic Port. Always linked to the sea that caresses it, Rapallo extends along the entire coast from Portofino to Sestri Levante.

A city rich in history, it experienced significant development in the 19th century thanks to the new railway that connected it with Genoa and the rest of Italy. The city has thus transformed into a true tourist destination that elegantly interprets the sought-after essence of the villages of the Ligurian Riviera.

Rapallo
Tigullio

A privileged entrance to the marvellous Ligurian Riviera

Rapallo, also known as "the pearl of the Tigullio," is located at the center of the Gulf of the same name, an area of astonishing natural charm, where celebrities, royals, and prominent figures from around the world come to experience the beauty and the Italian Dolce Vita.

Just like a pearl in its shell, Rapallo's central position in relation to the Tigullio is particularly strategic for reaching nearby Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, San Fruttuoso, and Sestri Levante.

However, it is not just the sea that makes this corner of the Riviera special: the hills and the Monte di Portofino surrounding the town of Rapallo offer the perfect backdrop for venturing into nature along paths that lead to the ridge – such as walks in the Camogli area, San Rocco, and Punta Chiappa – opening up to extraordinary views.

The new Marina

A Port of Excellence in the Mediterranean sea

In the grand stage of the Mediterranean, Porto Carlo Riva establishes itself as a significant destination thanks to its innovative redevelopment project and unique services that place its guests at the heart of marina life.

In the collective imagination, the Italian Dolce Vita has always been linked to the Mediterranean, evoking the color and scent of the sea, the relaxation of holidays, the feeling of the sea breeze on the skin, the good Italian food, and the sociability typical of our Bel Paese.

The new Port thus becomes a gateway to this world, representing a model of hospitality and a prestigious access point to reach and discover the beauties of Italy. And beyond.
