Giramondo

Giramondo is a family-run guest house in the center of Rapallo, in Liguria, just 150 meters from the beach and 200 meters from the train station.

The entirely non-smoking property offers three room types designed mainly for families and groups: from the spacious 60 sqm Family Room, with a bathtub and sitting area, to the compact 18 sqm Double Room. All options include a private bathroom, bed linen, TV, fridge and views of the city or local points of interest, with free WiFi available throughout.

The location in the liveliest area of Rapallo, just a few dozen meters from restaurants such as Taverna Gallo Nero and La Goletta, makes Giramondo convenient both for those visiting the Riviera di Levante and for those traveling towards Genoa or Portofino. The very high score given to the location by guests, particularly couples, confirms the property’s central position relative to the seafront, the castle and the rail connections to Santa Margherita Ligure and other towns along the coast.
