Fantastic views and really helpful staff.
Pros:

Stayed here for a few days at the end of September after visiting family in the area. We had a room at the end on the 3rd floor with a beautiful sea view. Room and bathroom ( especially the shower) were quite small, as was the balcony. However the beds were oh so comfortable, tv was fine with an English station, air con was brilliant ( until the last day when they changed the temperature to heating!?). Wi-Fi spot on! Cleaning staff very accommodating.
Quite a walk to get anywhere but a bus stops outside the hotel to go to Santa Margherita and Rapallo. ( get the tickets from hotel reception). There is a small supermarket and a Pizzeria restaurant ( best food we had while there) a short walk to the left… and also the beach with a safe swimming cove.
Although we felt a little remote the view and the staff made this a hotel we would highly recommend.

Fantastisk udsigt
Pros:

Skøn udsigt fra værelset med fuld havudsigt.
Lidt hård seng.
Lidt kedelig morgenmad.
Hotellet ligger op af en bakke, så man skal være godt gående.
Der er støj fra hovedvej nede foran hotellet

Highly Recommend Hotel L'Approdo in Rapallo!
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel, located in a beautiful area just steps away from the beach, with stunning views from the room. Although the hotel is officially in Rapallo, it’s actually closer to Santa Margherita Ligure — about a 10-minute walk to the train station.
The hotel is very clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We felt relaxed and well taken care of throughout our vacation.
The location is also perfect for exploring the region, with easy access to Cinque Terre, Portofino, and Camogli — all reachable by train or boat.
We definitely plan to return! It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway on the Italian Riviera.

Perfect, amazing people are working at this hotel, was a pleasure to spend a few days here. If you need parking try booking it in advance, otherwise there is a public parking on the street nearby. Walking distance to the beach and nearest cities.

Views, great location for exploring region and very clean
Pros:

I absolutely loved the hotel, maybe it is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever visited and I spend many nights in hotels every year. Also, it was the most comfortable bed and if we had not been with a motocycle I would have definitevly tried to negotiate with owners to sell me at least the thinner thing they had over materasses :) I am interested in model and company that produces it! Hotel is in great location for free beach (actually two free beaches at 4 minutes) and with great bus connections to all places in region (you can also walk 14minutes to Santa Margharita or 17min to Rapallo) . Smaller , cute village with several restaraunats San Michele di Pagana is only 10min by foot. We had a balcony (and a fridge) which makes a great combination for a drink before supper. I peeked at breakfast (looked yummy) but we are too slow in the morning so we did not use it. Please note that you have to inquire about the parking, there is a possibility to park on spot but maybe sometimes it is reserved, just ask in advance. Motobikes are always welcome and free to park. We visited Portofino (bus +boat), Sestri Levante (moto , great scenic ride), Rapallo, Camogli and even local festa of San Lorenzo, small village uphill. Just because of the very good hotel location. Oh...almost forgot...aircondition strong and silent!

Super hyggelig personale, god beliggenhet
Pros:

Pent, rent, komfortabelt, og luftig rom med en liten terrasse med nydelig sjøutsikt.

De ansatte på hotellet er super søte og hyggelige, veldig hjelpsomme og service innstilte.

Hoteller ligger i fin gåavstand til Santa Margherita, og det er bussholdeplass rett utenfor hotellet.

Stranden som ligger rett nedenfor hotellet var skuffende, - og med barn er ikke dette en destinasjon for bading, men uansett et supert utgangspunkt for å oppdage området rundt. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!

Pros:

So pleased we found this place - such a nice spot with towns easily walkable in both directions including Portofino. Beaches and opportunities to swim just minutes away.
Staff on reception are amazing and go above and beyond to help and make your stay so comfortable - a real credit to the hotel.
Lovely sea views and rooms have everything you need! Would love to go back one day!
