Hotel Portofino

First mentions must go to the gentleman who was on the desk when we arrived and the lady who sorted breakfast. Both were very polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location close to the sea front and a reasonably easy walk from the railway station. All the rooms are on the first floor of a 19th century building (there is a lift) and are perhaps best described as having faded grandeur; their historic nature added character and interest, but if you want a modern hotel, this is probably not for you. That said, the room was clean and comfortable and the shower decent. Breakfast was good.

The entrance is easy to miss; a small, low-key sign mounted relatively low at the entrance. We walked past it twice before we saw it, but perhaps that was us. The only real irritation was that breakfast didn't start until 8.00 am, which meant that we had to miss it to catch our train when we moved on, but for most guests, that would probably be fine.

Il nostro soggiorno in questo hotel è stato meraviglioso: dalla camera ampia e comoda, alla colazione ben fornita e molto buona, all’accoglienza di Daniela e Giuliana che sono state gentilissime e ci hanno informato di tutte le possibili attività qui a Rapallo e dintorni. La struttura può sembrare da rimodernare ma in verità offre tutte le comodità necessarie e lo staff si è dimostrato gentilissimo e disponibilissimo nei nostri confronti, con la possibilità anche di lasciare le valigie e di usufruire il bagno prima di partire. Assolutamente consigliassimo ci ritornerei domani.

L’unico difetto magari uno specchio nella camera, per il resto assolutamente nulla da dire.

Posizione centrale, colazione abbondante, camere curate
