I stayed here in end October as a stopover from my travel from Tuscany to Nice and the weather was still terrific. Advice and recommendations from the owner is spot on. We walked from the hotel to the restaurant he recommended in SML - the walk can be a little unnerving at first as a portion of the sidewalk wasn't... More

The hotel was more than we expected. The rooms are large with nice balcony to sit and admire the view from. The church bells were so wonderful to listen too and the hotel is a short 5 min walk to Santa margarita. The staff were exceptionally helpful with every request...train schedules, scooter rentals (this is a must do) restaurants...basically everything.... More

We had a lovely 4 nights at L'Approdo in September. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. I would strongly suggest paying a little extra for a sea view room as well as parking onsite if you have a car. Both well worth it. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean and friendly place to stay in the Rapallo/Santa... More

Nice hotel with nice very clean rooms with view of the water and a nice balcony. Very good breakfast . Bus stop at the door, but walking to Santa Marghareta, while not far is challenging as roadway is very narrow and without sidewalks for about 200 meters. Traffic moves very quickly. Bus tickets must be bought at terminal in town... More

We read the reviews after booking this hotel and were a little worried what to expect and almost booked somewhere else based on what we read below. So, first off, we want to put the record straight on a couple of things. The rooms, despite others comments 'sub par Ikea', are fairly basic but have everything you need and extremely... More
