Hotel Astoria is a 4-star family-run property set in an Art Nouveau villa at the start of Rapallo’s seafront promenade, in Liguria. Its location, right across from the Gulf of Tigullio, is one of its strongest features, confirmed by the very high score guests give this aspect.
The rooms, furnished in a classic style, come with air conditioning, satellite TV and a minibar; many room types offer partial or full sea views, and the first-floor rooms have access to a large furnished terrace. The range spans from the Single Room to the Suite with Sea View, including doubles, triples and Deluxe rooms with bed configurations available on request.
Breakfast, served from 7:30 to 10:30, is a sweet and savoury buffet with continental, Italian, English and gluten-free options. Astoria guests enjoy discounted rates at nearby restaurants and private beaches, as well as reduced green fees at Rapallo’s 18-hole golf course, just a few minutes away by car. The property is designed for those seeking a comfortable, elegant base to explore the Riviera di Levante, from Rapallo’s historic centre to Portofino.
The rooms at Hotel Astoria cover a wide range of options, from the compact 12 m² Single Room to the 34 m² Suite with Sea View, featuring a separate living area with a sofa bed and a bedroom with a double bed. All room types share air conditioning, a minibar, flat-screen or satellite TV, and a private bathroom with courtesy set, hairdryer and bidet.
Several rooms, such as the Triple with Sea View and the Deluxe Double/Twin rooms, overlook the Gulf of Tigullio, while first-floor rooms have their own furnished terrace. Triples and quads, designed for families or small groups, offer flexible bed configurations between a double bed and single beds, to be confirmed at the time of booking. The Standard Double Room, on the other hand, is the most essential option for those seeking comfort without a direct sea view.
The most compact room at the Astoria, designed for the solo traveller: 12 m² air-conditioned, with free WiFi, satellite TV and a minibar. Cots or extra beds are not available, as this room type is intended for a single guest.
Among the largest rooms in the property at 21 m², this triple stands out for its direct view over the Gulf of Tigullio. The bed configuration is flexible, with a choice between a double plus a single bed or three single beds, ideal for families or small groups who don’t want to miss out on the sea view.
An 18 m² Deluxe room with a partial sea view, unlike its twin with a full sea view. The bed type is customisable at the time of booking, between a double or two single beds, but does not allow for extra beds.
The same size as the Deluxe with partial view, but here the view over the Gulf of Tigullio is full and direct. As with the other Deluxe room, the bed type must be specified at booking, between a double bed and two single beds.
Identical in size to the Triple with Sea View but without the view over the gulf, this room makes up for it with extra amenities: a private bathroom with walk-in shower and bidet, plus welcome wine or champagne for guests.
The largest and most elegant accommodation at the Astoria, with 34 m² split between a separate living area and bedroom, both with sea views. It features a kettle for tea and coffee, a spacious wardrobe and a walk-in shower, ideal for families or groups looking for extra space.
The most essential of the Astoria’s double rooms, without a sea view but with the same basic amenities as the other rooms: a private bathroom with walk-in shower, bidet and courtesy set, plus wine or champagne offered to guests.
Hotel Astoria offers a full range of services designed for a comfortable stay along the Riviera di Levante. The reception is staffed 24 hours a day, with private and express check-in and check-out, concierge service, luggage storage and an in-room safe. Guests travelling with small pets can do so with no extra charge, while sports enthusiasts will find hiking, diving, canoeing and horse riding nearby.
For dining, in addition to the bar and the minibar in every room, breakfast can also be served in the room, and special diet menus are available on request. Practical services include laundry, ironing, room service and a shuttle, useful for those arriving at the airport or wishing to get around with ease.
The property also pays attention to accessibility, with rooms for guests with disabilities, wheelchair access and bathrooms with grab bars, as well as security, thanks to closed-circuit cameras and continuous surveillance.
Hotel Astoria is located at the start of Rapallo’s seafront promenade, in an Art Nouveau villa just a short walk from the town’s beach, only 50 metres away. This is the liveliest part of town, with bars, cafés and traditional restaurants such as L’Angolo del Pane and Hostaria Vecchia Rapallo less than 100 metres from the property, and Rapallo Castle around 400 metres away along the seafront.
Rapallo railway station is 400 metres away, convenient for reaching Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino within minutes, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 29 km away. The city’s 18-hole golf course, with discounted green fees for hotel guests, is about a 5-minute drive away.
In summer, the area is well suited to beach days and boat trips to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, also reachable by sea, and Castello Brown in Portofino, about 5 km away. In the cooler months, the Valle dei Mulini and the Parco del Flauto Magico offer nature trails and green spaces suited to walks and bike rides, while the Abbey of San Girolamo la Cervara, about 4 km away, is an ideal destination for those who love history and religious architecture along the coast.
Reviews particularly praise the friendliness of the staff (9.6) and the location (9.7), especially appreciated by couples. Cleanliness and comfort (9.3) also score very highly, while the value for money (8.7) remains the most modest score, though still solid.
