Rapallo

Rapallo, the pearl of the Tigullio

Within a bay embraced by hills, interwined between sky and sea, the city of Rapallo emerges thanks to its colours and the majestic harbour that frames it. Always linked to the sea that laps it, Rapallo stretches along the coast from Portofino to Sestri Levante.

A city rich in history, which saw great development in the 19th century thanks to the new railway that allowed it to connect with Genoa and the rest of Italy. The town has thus become a true tourist destination that elegantly interprets the refined essence of the villages of the Ligurian Riviera.

Tigullio

A privileged entrance to the marvellous Ligurian Riviera

Rapallo is also known as 'the pearl of the Tigullio'. It is located in the centre of the namesake Gulf, an area of astounding natural charm, where celebrities, royals and prominent personalities from all over the world come to live an experience of beauty and Italian Dolce Vita.

Like a pearl in its shell, Rapallo's central position with respect to the Tigullio is also particularly strategic for reaching the nearby towns of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, San Fruttuoso and Sestri Levante.

It is not only the sea, however, that makes this corner of the Riviera special: the hills and the Monte di Portofino surrounding Rapallo offer the perfect backdrop for venturing into nature, exploring paths that lead up to the ridge - such as the walks in the Camogli, San Rocco and Punta Chiappa areas - and open up to extraordinary views.

The new Marina

A Port of Excellence in the Mediterranean sea

On the great stage of the Mediterranean sea, Porto Carlo Riva takes a prominent position thanks to its innovative renaissance project and unique services, which put its guests at the centre of marina life.

In the collective imagination, the Italian Dolce Vita has always been bound to the Mediterranean, recalling the colour and scent of the sea, the relaxation of holidays, the sensation of the sea breeze on the skin, good Italian food, and the sociability typical of our Bel Paese.

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