Location & what to see

Albergo La Piazzetta occupies the top floor of the tallest building on Rapallo’s main square, in the heart of the town on the Riviera di Levante, just 50 meters from the sea. Below the windows you’ll find bars such as Le Saline, 40 meters away, and restaurants such as Papisca, 20 meters away, and Gelateria Montallegro, 10 meters away, while the seafront Castle can be reached with a roughly 350-meter walk and Rapallo Beach is 100 meters away.

Rapallo’s train station is 250 meters away, an advantage for those who want to move along the coast without a car: Santa Margherita Ligure and its Santa Margherita Ligure – Portofino station are about 1.7 km away, while Chiavari is 15 km away and Genoa-Sestri Airport is 29 km away, convenient for those arriving by air from major Italian and European cities.

In summer, guests can alternate between the beaches of Rapallo and San Michele di Pagana, 900 meters away, with boat trips to San Fruttuoso Abbey, about 5.7 km by sea, and Portofino’s Castello Brown. In the cooler months, a walk to the Parco del Flauto Magico, 2.1 km away, or a trip to the San Girolamo la Cervara Abbey, just over 4 km away, is well worth it to discover the Ligurian hinterland beyond the coast.

Rapallo Station — Train connections along the riviera, useful without your own car 250 m
Rapallo Castle — Seafront fortress and symbol of the city, ideal for an evening walk 350 m
