“If you are looking to have a genuine Italian Piazza experience then this is the best place to stay. Rapallo is a little”
+We loved our stay at Rapallo in the Piazza , could not be more central right in the middle of the action with sea views out the bedroom window. Only steps from the beach on one side (where there are lots of beautiful restaurants and the ferry which takes you to Santa margarita and portofino) and on the other side , perhaps a 2 minute walk to the train which was very convenient for day tripping to the cirque Terre. Our host Mimma who owns the apartment, was amazing and met us at the taxi tank and spent an hour pro in ding us with all the key information and tips on the best places to eat and spots to visit.
−No air conditioning during the hot weather, although several fans in room helped with sleeping.

“5 fabulous days in Rapallo, a beautiful spot and well connected to other regional areas. Fantastic host - thankyou Minna”
+The apartment is in a great location and is full of character being in one of the original Rapallo buildings. With the beautiful narrow streets of the village at the back and water at the front of the property. Close to ferry and train. Good size bedrooms, lovely bathroom and well equipped kitchen with supermarkets and restaurants close by. Host Mimma is fabulous, very warm and welcoming, great suggestions for the area.
−This is only a tiny thing as we were out most of the time - a little lounge area would be nice but really the apartment was fabulous and we loved staying in Rapallo as it was so well connected to other areas to explore.

“Exceptional”
+The apartment has a perfect location with a beautiful view, and the building even has an elevator - a great bonus. Mimma, the owner, was incredibly helpful and kind.

“Excellent stay in this pleasant town. Made easier by Mimma, our extremely helpfull host.”
+Mimma the host met us at the railway station and was very helpfull throughout our stay with advice and recommendations. Good location in the centre of this pleasant town close to railway station, boat pier and waterfront. Also close to shops, restaurants and supermarket.
−No air-conditioning but we managed OK by closing window shutters and using fans. Some noise from bars and restaurants but that is to be expected in a central location. No lounge area just a table and chairs.

“An awesome stay !”
+It is a preserved old building upgraded with modern facilities to let you have the best of both worlds. Apartment is spacious and great view of not only the sea but every window of the place gives you a different glimpse of the typical Italian lives sprinkled along the narrow picturesque alleys. Mimma the wonderful friendly host met us at the train station. Took us to the place which is 5 minutes away n explained everything in detailed. A welcome food basket n a bottle of Prosecco was on the table. Full set of toiletries, bath amenities and kitchen stuff. The facilities are more than what you will expect. Mimma also recommended awesome restaurants and roof top bars etc. Rapallo is a great base to explore Cinque Terre, Portofino, Santa Magherita, Camogli etc.

“Mimma's apartment , Piazza Chiappa.”
+Everything was superb, from meeting our host (now friend) Mimma, she took the time to show us everything we needed to know about the apartment and gave us all the information we could need to have a fabulous time in and around Rapallo and Portofino. The apartment itself is just perfect, the large bedroom with windows on two sides, the fantastic view of the sea and promenade takes your breath away. The second bedroom which overlooks the quaint narrow street at the rear of the apartment is also of a good size and has two single beds. There is ample storage space in the wardrobes in both bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you could need, and is in perfect condition, there is also a nice area with a table for four to have your meals. The apartment has three tv's. The bathroom is large and has a great shower. Both check in and check out was easy and there is a lift in the building so no problems with the luggage. A great apartment, we will happily return to.
−There really wasn't anything we didn't like.
