Liguria coast hotels - Hotel Stella, Rapallo

Hotel Stella, Rapallo

This charming three-star hotel in Rapallo is conveniently located right in the centre of town. Rapallo is a laid-back, unpretentious seaside town in the middle of the Gulf of Tigullio. Set in a typical Liberty-style building dating from the turn of the 20th century, Rapallo's Hotel Stella is decorated in typical Genoese style and service is discreet and efficient. The glamorous resorts of Santa Margherita and Portofino lie just a little distance along the coast and the extraordinary clifftop villages known as the Cinque Terre are about an hour away. The hotel is close to the beach and the pretty harbour and the town's attractive seafront promenade is just a short stroll away.

There are 28 homely, simply furnished en-suite rooms here, all with private en-suite bathroom, satellite television, direct-dial telephone, internet connection facility and a personal safe. The superior rooms on the uppermost floor enjoy excellent sea views, and several of the rooms have a small private balcony with views. Families are welcome here and cots and additional beds are available at a nominal charge. A simple, continental-style breakfast is included in the room rate and room service is also available. All rooms are accessible by lift/elevator and quiet, well-behaved pets are welcome to join their owners here.

A particularly attractive feature of this hotel is its lovely panoramic roof terrace set with sun loungers and umbrellas; Hotel Stella has excellent meeting facilities including a naturally lit, air-conditioned conference room with audio-visual facilities. There is also a 24-hour bar offering a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as coffee and light bites.
