Liguria is a long, thin coastal strip nestling at the foot of vine-covered mountains, Rapallo lying just east of the port city of Genoa. Rapallo is a bustling seaside town and popular harbour. The town and surrounding area are straight out of picture postcards. The fishing village of Camogli, the ancient abbey of San Fruttoso, the resorts of Santa Margherita Ligure, ultra chic Portofino are all within easy reach. Head east to Sestri Levante with its twin bays, followed by the Cinque Terre, five extraordinary villages set amid sheer mountains striped with vines and stone terraces. Rapallo is set in the innermost pocket of the Gulf of Tigullio basking in the warm Riviera sun. Fantastic restaurants in and around Rapallo abound. Great beaches, mountain walks, fishing, diving, cycling, horse riding, tennis are all minutes away.
