A little oasis on the edge of little bustling Italian town of Rapallo. The room with ocean and pool view was well turned out. Breakfast was excellent as was the restaurant. Handily it has a shuttle service into town. Concierge were great. Reccomend a good restaurant on the water front. They really stepped up helping to rearrange our journey when we came a cropper due to rail strikes.
