Italian Riviera Beach Holidays

Our stay at Splendide Riviera in Rapallo was exceptional. The hotel is impeccably clean (cleaner than most 5 star hotels in the area), beautifully maintained, and reflects great pride in every detail. What truly sets it apart is the staff—warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. If possible, book the Hemingway Suite. Knowing Ernest Hemingway stayed here while writing Cat in the Rain adds a unique historical touch. A perfect blend of historic charm, elegance, outstanding service, and a prime waterfront location. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rapallo.

We checked in with the assistance of a wonderful Asian man. Very courteous and friendly. Not all the staff were as friendly. Our room was nice but there was a terrible smell like drains. We spoke to Italian man on reception who said it was cleaning products. It wasn't. We asked to be moved but he said the hotel was full :There were 3 tables occupied at breakfast. The room was clean however and the bed comfortable. When we checked out we saw the Asian receptionist man who said he would have moved us. On that basis we have to say the stay wasn't perfect.

Great staff. Great location, the beach club associated with the hotel was the same. Clean, large rooms, comfy well Air conditioned hotel.

We really want to be kind here as the staff was great. The view from the terrace was magical. But, an ever present sewer smell was always in the room. We didn’t complain but the oil/air freshener diffusers in the halls let us know it was a known thing. We had a 2 story double which included a very tight spiral staircase which was not easy to navigate. Upstairs double bed room area included a small 13” tv/monitor with no power cable and was not attached to the cable box. No remote was seen so we assumed it was some kind of weird storage. This room was $$$$ and outside of the portofino view was really not worth it. When visiting Portofino if you you cant swing the Splendido then probably best to stay in santa margharita ligure.

Lovely hotel in great location. I we had the site with Jaccusi. Amazing.

Great staff
