Cosy Apartment by PortofinoVip

Very beautiful view and a nice apartment. Good instructions on how to check in. Super!

1) Fully furnished flat ideal for a family of 3-4 people 2) Beautiful view of Rapallo and the sea from the terrace 3) Very good location

1) The room was very poorly cleaned, especially the floor. There was a very thick layer of dust and rubbish under the bed. 2) Lack of wi-fi is a very surprising situation, despite the fact that it was the flat of an elderly lady 3) Lack of bed linen for duvets (only the under sheets were bedded + sheets) 4) Approximately 150m from the flat to the parking space, walking up a steep staircase, through several doors/entrance gates, up a hill and through a forsaken entrance gate makes it very difficult to unpack and pack the luggage into the car

Lovely apartment with beautiful terrace with views of the city. Our host Gabi was extremely welcoming and helpful during the whole stay.

Very poor

We travelled to Rapallo by train as part of a two-week holiday exploring villages and towns along the Italian coast. When we got off at Rapallo station, we had great difficulty finding the accommodation. Just to let you know Google maps did not work at all!!! We rang the help line and was given directions that - although were well intentioned - did not help in the slightest. Someone from the accommodation came to meet us and offered to give us a lift one by one on his motor scooter to the apartment. But we had luggage, he didn’t have a spare helmet and I did not want my wife and myself to be separated. We finally got a taxi. But, the taxi driver could not find the accommodation either. He dropped us off in the general area and left us to ask neighbours where the accommodation was. Two and a half hours after getting off the train we finally found the accommodation. It is on top of a mountain and if you walk to it from Rapallo as we did each day of our stay it takes half an hour from the centre of Rapallo - it is a very, very long and steep walk!!! It only took us 20 minutes to walk down into the town in the morning. My point is that the property details should mention you really do need a car to get to and from this accommodation. Or be prepared to pay 24 Euros (and more) a day in taxi fares just to get back and forth from it to Rapallo. We found the property to be clean but it had a very dowdy and old fashioned interior- very old fashioned electrics. The TV was so small we didn’t realise it was there for two days. But at least they had one. The lamp shade in the bedroom was very low and got in our way continually - very irritating. There was no air conditioning which meant the bedroom was very hot and humid and we had difficulty sleeping in the stuffy room. The balcony had a great view as long as you were prepared to sit amongst the bat droppings!!! yes bat droppings. We had no contact at all with a host while we were staying here.
