Hotel Vesuvio  

The location is across the street from the water.

The shower is very small. If you drop the soap you will not be able to bend down and pick it up without opening the shower doors...the room is also very noisy because of the location to the street...it is sparsely furnished.....get this..the heat or air temperature is decided by the owner, thats right , the guest has no control.....excuse me!

Staff at the Vesuvio very friendly and helpful. Our room was quite spacious, with two balconies. Bathroom small, with shower over the bath. Hotel is situated on a busy road overlooking the seafront, lots of palm trees. Short easy walk to train station and frequent trains to Genoa and Cinque Terre. Ferry terminal for Portofino etc 50 metres from hotel. Rapallo very busy during our stay at Easter, but it is an attractive, friendly resort.

Charming building located central to restaurants and shops and directly opposite Rapallo beach. If you want to visit Portofino, stay in Rapallo or Santa Margherita Ligure as Portofino is very small and very expensive. Regardless of the price there is more to see and do in Rapallo or SML. Portofino is well worth a day visit and half the pleasure is walking there along the dramatic coastline. We caught a bus from Rapallo to Santa Margherita (E1.50) and walked the 5km to Portofino. Some parts of the walk were a little dangerous as the footpath ceased to exist, but with may people walking, both walkers and cars were being cautious. The views along the way were spectacular. The gentleman on reception at Hotel Vesuvio was very welcoming, walked us to our room and was happy to provide us with the information on how to get to Portofino. He was also happy for us to leave our luggage downstairs on checkout day and collect it later.

Friendly & comfortable hotel Owners very helpful with parking & also with a problem I had with my hire car

Location and helpfulnes of the staff

The room was tired and the bathroom could use some updating

Perfect staff work, complaisance.

Hotel is perfectly located. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Very friendly hotel's staff. We really enjoyed our holiday in this hotel and in Rapallo.

There are no hooks in the bathroom.

Smiling, friendly and helpful reception staff with good English. Good location with easy access to shops, bars, restraurants, beach, trains and ferries - no need for car hire. Nice rooms. Fairly lively and noisy on street and promenade until 0100 in morning but ok with windows closed and air-con.

Thankyou to our host Luciano for our very pleasant stay in Rapallo. We really enjoyed talking with Luciano, who is extremely accomodating, as are all of his staff - friendly,very helpful and 24hour desk coverage. Friends had recommended Luciano and Hotel Vesuvio, they have been back a few times. An ideal location, fabulous view of the Marina in the Bay of Tigullio. Hotel Vesuvio is a relaxing place, great to sit on the balcony and watch the passing parade of people walking along the promenade.Rapallo is a busy town, a great place to explore the surrounding areas, including the Cinque terra. 3Minutes from train station. Really great restaurants, all with great foods, a range of pastas, fish and local cuisine. Great buffet breakfast - very good coffee.

Excellent location if you like to discover the area. Corner rooms with balcony are very nice, comfortable with panoramic view. Close to ferry and train station. Staff are nice and helpful

No Parking. Shower screen not adequate, flooded the bathroom every time we showered.

Luciano and his staff were brilliant. they quickly made us feel like old friends and nothing we asked of them was too much trouble. The situation (overlooking the sea) was perfect with the lovely town immediately behind - and it's proximity to the Cinque Terre perfect for anyone wanting the best of all things. Roll on our next visit!

This hotel was fantastic value for money. The owner gave us such a warm and friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Being right on the sea front it can be a little noisy but it wasn't a problem as with the windows closed and the airconditioning on( which was very quiet and efficient) you really can't hear anything outside. The owner and staff are the stand out thing with this hotel.

The only thing we noticed was you could hear other patrons in their rooms but not enough to spoil our stay.
