Tigullio Royal

Rapallo, Italy
$135-250/ natt

Boka detta om You want the best sea view in Rapallo without the Portofino price tag, and you prioritize a rooftop spritz over a swimming pool.

Varför människor älskar det

  • The Royal8ight Sky Bar on the 8th floor offers arguably the best sunset aperitivo views in the entire Gulf of Tigullio
  • Location is dead central—steps from the ferry to Cinque Terre and Portofino
  • Breakfast is a serious affair with honeycomb, prosecco, and focaccia served on a sea-view terrace

Snabb Överblick: A polished, reliable 4-star that trades a swimming pool for a killer rooftop and unbeatable ferry access.

Recenserat av @Claudiams: I stayed here in Rapallo and was blown away. Even without a balcony, opening the window to that harbor view was the highlight of my trip. It is right on the promenade, so the location is unbeatable for exploring the Italian Riviera.

The hype

Travelers universally praise the sparkling cleanliness and the rooftop bar, but often grumble about the lack of a pool and the noise from the street below.

Reality check

The 'Partial Sea View' rooms are often a letdown—you might just get a sliver of blue if you crane your neck. Upgrade to full Sea View or save money with a quiet City View.

  • You plan to spend your days exploring Portofino and Cinque Terre by ferry
  • You love a high-end hotel breakfast spread
  • You want a modern, renovated bathroom with strong water pressure

“I would appreciate a room on the highest possible floor to minimize street noise. If a full sea view isn't available, I would prefer a quiet rear-facing room over a partial view with road noise.”

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is there a pool?

No. This is the biggest shock for many guests. They have a partner agreement with a nearby beach club, but it costs extra.

Is it noisy?

Yes, if you face the sea on floors 1-3. The promenade is a main cruising strip for scooters. High floors or back rooms are quiet.

How is the breakfast?

Excellent. It's an extensive buffet with local focaccia, fresh honeycomb, eggs, bacon, and prosecco, served on a terrace.

Can I park my car?

Yes, but it's valet only (~€35/night) and space is limited. There is a public lot nearby but it's often full in summer.

Does the AC work well?

It's strong in summer, but often centrally limited or turned off in shoulder seasons (April/May/Oct), which can make rooms stuffy.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, small pets are allowed for a fee (approx €15/day), but they aren't allowed in the breakfast area.

Insider-tips

  • ✨

    The 'Classic' rooms face the back/courtyard. They have zero view, but they are the quietest rooms in the house and significantly cheaper.

  • ✨

    Skip the hotel minibar; there is a Carrefour Express supermarket just 3 minutes walk away on Via della Libertà.

  • ✨

    Ask the concierge for the 'Tigullio Card' or ferry pass discounts; they sometimes have vouchers for guests.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡The 'Partial Sea View' is often just a view of the building next door with a slice of water if you lean over the railing.

  • 💡The elevator can be painfully slow during breakfast rush hour (8:30-9:30 AM).

  • 💡You can hear the church bells from the Basilica, which is charming at 10 AM but less so at 7 AM.

  • 💡The rooftop bar is open to the public, so it gets crowded with locals around sunset—get there by 6 PM to snag a table.

  • 💡The 'Family Rooms' are often just two connecting rooms or a room with a sofa bed that takes up all the walking space.
