We stayed four nights at Hotel L'Approdo on our honeymoon this past July and loved it. It is a modern, clean hotel with an incredibly friendly staff who bend over backwards to provide you with maps, information and contacts for a host of activities in the area. Rapallo itself is not much of a town, but nearby (600 meters away)... more

We stayed at L'Approdo for 2 nights 2nd week of May. There were many choices in the Riviera/Cinque Terre areas. We were very happy that we picked this hotel and location. It was walking distance to Santa Margharita, where you can board the ferry, as well as choose from many restaurants there. We ate in Rapallo the 2nd night, at... more

We stayed at the Approdo for 5 nights. We were delighted with every aspect of the experience and will definitely go back and will recommend it, withouth hesitation, to family and friends. We didn't have a car and walked into Santa Margherita each day. (This would not be ideal with very young children as there are a couple of stretches... more

Stayed here last summer (07.07). Very nice property, but we had a difficult time finding it. The directions given to us weren't clear (I used to live in Europe, so I can generally get around pretty easy), so I suggest mapping it out yourself rather than counting on them. The facilities are nice, new and clean. Our room was on... more

This is the best value for money in this beautiful area of Italy. The hotel is close to good restarants that are just about within walking distance. A car is recommended even though there is a bus stop outside the hotel. The staff are extremely helpful and create a friendly atmosphere in the small but adequate bar. The free internet... more

Stayed at the L'approdo with my girlfriend for 3 days in October 2007. Hotel is located just up the hill from Santa Margharita - the nicest town on this stretch of coast. As other guests have noted, there is a stretch of road without a pavement near the hotel if you are walking in to S.M. but it isn't that... more

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon. Incredibly good value, stylish, spotlessly clean and friendly hotel in a great location between Rapallo and Santa Margherita (closer to SM). I can't say enough good things about it and agree with all the other reviews. We really loved it here and it was by far the best value... more

Positives - all rooms face the sea (higher floors are better) and have big balconies and patio furniture, free wireless internet in the lounge, relaxing bar area, pleasing minimalist decor. All the staff were very friendly and keen to give you tips about where to go and what to see -and there is lots to see and do. Try some... more

What more can I add to the long list of very satisfied members? Riccardo and his team have got it just right. Breakfast was an excellent selection of cereal, cheese, ham, bread, pastries, fresh fruit, juices, tea and coffee. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Well furnished and equipped rooms-plenty of clothes hangers, shower gel provided, fantastic view from top floor. Free, easy... more
