Easy to get to and from the train station and the seaside and promenade position with all the restaurants and shopping was a winner! We would love to return one day.

    Fabulous !!! If you can afford a sea view balcony then room 203 is the best ( wrap around balcony with views to die for overlooking the bay/marina. The owners are very much hands on and very friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here.

    There is some noise in the evening as you are right on the waterfront and in the middle of things but it’s worth it and it really didn’t bother us. Good soundproofing but maybe bring some earplugs if you are sensitive.

    Beautiful boutique hotel in a fabulous location with stunning views and an amazing team who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Breakfast was great, rooms are a good size and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect for trips to Portofino or to explore Cinque Terra.

    Honestly, nothing could have been improved.

    This was the best family run hotel we've ever stayed. Prior to arrival, they assisted us with navigating travel challenges and everything was perfect from the moment we arrived through our entire stay. It's a family run establishment and you can tell. Local knowledge. Incredible breakfast spread. Very conversational. I would stay here every time.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Vesuvio! We stayed for 7 nights and it was brilliant. Bed was comfortable, lovely room and view. The staff were so friendly and helpful. A great breakfast. The location was amazing - a short walk to the train station which connects to lots of other great towns, and a close walk to lots of bars and restaurants. Good air conditioning as well. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

    Everything was perfect.

    We loved our stay at Hotel Vesuvio. We had a beautiful room overlooking the Rapallo waterfront. Everything was clean and well presented. We loved looking out from our balcony. It was a very busy road but as soon as we closed the window and shutters our room was silent - perfect for sleeping. The gluten free options for breakfast were greatly appreciated. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    No complaints in any way. The hotel and location were terrific. If you are sensitive to noise do note that like almost all the waterfront facing hotels in the Italian Riviera, it's in a lively town and there is a street in front of the hotel so there will be modest road noise. We personally loved the location and the hotel.

    View of the town and bay was beautiful. The staff was terrific - helpful, very friendly, easy to communicate with. The hotel was very clean and in excellent repair. Room was large and spacious with 2 walkout patios. Breakfast was very nice with excellent seating area which offered indoor or outdoor seating, very open and bright with views of the bay and town, and very nice seating. Rapallo is a great location with ferry dock right in front of hotel and train station just a few minutes walk away. Lovely pedestrian walking all around the hotel with really nice water front walk around the bay.

    A little better insulation from Morning light in windows. That is all.

    Staff was exceptionally helpful and very professional and friendly. Facilities very well located with beautiful view of harbor and water across the street. Staff helped us greatly with delivery of our new needed debit card after our robbery in Pompei as Wells Fargo and Fed Ex were very slow in shipping it to us from USA(took from April 17 to May 6.). Vesuvio Hotel staff put card envelope in a box (to disguise it)when it finally arrived in Rapallo and reshipped it to us in Lake Garda. Exceptional service.

    This hotel has the look of a boutique hotel right on the coast however, the staff gives you the feeling that you are family staying with them. The front desk people are the best in a hospitality business. The one gentleman has been there 20 years and it shows that he cares about his guests and makes sure that they have a great stay in the hotel. The breakfast is a very good selection of fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads, and pastries. The view from the balcony overlooking the harbor and the palm trees is exceptional.

    It is on a main road so if you are facing the street it can be a little loud at night but the balcony is worth it!

    Perfect location on the seafront close to bars and restaurants. Ferry across the road for day trips and under 10 minutes walk to the station. Wonderful views from the room and the small balcony was an ideal place to watch the world go by. Hotel was modern, comfortable and very clean. Pretty fair selection at the continental breakfast and very good coffee. From arrival to departure the staff were wonderful and welcoming.

    There wasn't much wrong with the hotel. It was a little noisy at night but that was because the hotel is on the main road.

    The Hotel Vesuvio was in a great location giving us a great view of the waterfront and the sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful, suggesting places to visit and places to eat during our stay. The breakfasts were excellent.
