The hotel’s great advantages are also its disadvantages. It is about 20 minutes and (I think) nearly 10 kms. out of Rapallo by a narrow winding mountain road. The town can of course be reached in about 10 minutes by the cable car. However, it runs only every half hour, and only during the day; you cannot use it in the evening if you want to eat in Rapallo. Fortunately, the restaurant is very good - but the menu is limited and so after three days you will be repeating yourself. These are not complaints: bearing in mind these considerations, we would strongly recommend the hotel.

The hotel is situated on the top of a large hill overlooking Rapallo and across the bay to Portofino. The views were spectacular, both from our bedroom and the dining room. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was excellent. We were particularly pleased to be in the quiet of the woods above Rapallo which we could nonetheless easily reach by a telecabin that runs down to the town.

Cupboards creak and smell old. Bed springs creak as well. Long or wide cars might have trouble going up the sometimes narrow road.

Enjoy breakfast on the balcony with a majestic view over the Portofino coastline. Adventurous narrow road to the hotel 600 meters above sea level.

Road up is very bendy but not an issue Wi-Fi could be better in speed but if you want peace and quietness then not an issue

quietness up in the hills, views are superb and great for walks and peace and tranquility. Great place to get away as wifi and 4/5g signal are not too hot so you can relax away from the hassle of no electronic life. Staff are very friendly. Very pretty church close to the hotel

Absolutely loved the staff, location, food and ambiance. We very much hope to return some day. As it is a 6,000 mile trip it takes effort and money to get their. Loved the setting.

We liked everything.

The food menu could be more varied :)

The hotel is amazing, it has a very beautiful view, the stuff is kind and the food is good. But it’s quite far from the city centre,and it takes time to get there. The bus/cable car stop working at around 7 pm. So, if you wanna enjoy Rapallo night life and get to the hote after 7 pm, you better drive a car.

Well I would of wished for air condition. It was not hot 600m above see, but anyway…

The view was amazing. The breakfast on the terrace. Nice staff.

Hotel guests must be able to walk up steps and relatively steep inclines to reach the hotel. While this isn´t bad, it might be nice to know this in advance of arrival.

We enjoyed the views, the ambiance and the warm reception we received. The food was good and the breakfast was ample. A wedding in the church added to the experience. The cable car ride down into Rapallo was both scenic and enjoyable.

The drive up to the hotel was quite challenging

no warm water was available by our visit

The hotel has been built on top of the hill far from anything. It's island of harm and peace. Foods are tasty as well the service was very kind.

Hotel is tiled all the way through so hallway & restaurant noise was a bit loud.

fantastic location on a mountain top. Staff knowledgable and helpful, views over Portofino & Bay from the terrace are incredible. Restaurant food was great, wait staff excellent. Breakfast super.

The best are a little too hard

A magic place, stunning views, the cable car ride to Rapallo

Stayed in September 2021

No real downsides, only thing is that the parking is not on premise. It's along the street of the narrow roads towards the top of the mountain. It's the end of the road however, so no through traffic. The internet was incredibly slow. There is hardly any mobile connection and the entire hotel is on the same wifi connection, giving you only 3 mbps internet speeds

The biggest selling point is the view. You can see the bay with Portofino from the terrace. The breakfast is great and the people working there are very friendly. They also help you with your luggage from your car to the hotel. Which is up the hill a bit.

Actually nothing :)

The fantastic view and the peaceful surroundings

Stayed in August 2021

it is a 20-30 min car/bus ride from Rapallo city center and there are not too many options for transportation, especially during the evening. Between Rapallo and Portofino you can find a lot of options, busses that go till midnight but to get to that location, it is a little harder. A personal car is the easiest solution but the road up and down is winding!

The entire place is amazing! quite, green, amazing view of Portofino and its surroundings! we arrived there by car - there is parking close by and traveled by bus and taxi. The downside is the lack of transportation from Rapallo towards the location, after 8 pm. And the taxis in the area are expensive but solutions can be found. our overall experience was very nice its an amazing place for a quiet and peaceful retreat! totally recommend!

You a bit stuck after 18:30 if you use the cable car

The view of room 208 is amazing, friendly and very helpful staff, comfortable bed and food is really nice.

Family environment and personnel were very kind. The hotel is located in the mountains with a view of Rapallo so it was cool to enjoy dinner & wine in this location. The food was yummy Breakfast was served, instead of buffet which is getting more unusual nowadays and this was nice experience as well

Location too far and difficult to drive

Stayed in August 2021

Diner was chaotic (at the same time, and with same personnel, there was a party/diner going on) and personnel had not time to have a cosy small talk. Diner was relative expensive. Room was clean but very sober (monestry room). Roomrate for 1 room (4p , 1 double bed and 1 bunkbed) is way to expensive for a simple hotel on top of the mountain (long/ windy road to Rapallo). All rooms for 4 p have no sea view. So overall our stay was good, quiet but could have been half the price

Quiet location near a special church, friendly employees
