Hotel Vesuvio Rapallo

Hotel Vesuvio is a quaint, family owned and operated hotel on Rapallo beach. We enjoyed our stay and we enjoyed meeting the owner and his family. Because we had a Mini Cooper, the owner made certain we had a reserved parking spot for our entire stay. The rooms are spotless as is the entire building. Breakfast was excellent each and every day with amazing breads, cheeses, fruit, pastries and coffee. I had a double Americano every morning. Soooo good. In addition, the hotel is located in an excellent spot with many nice restaurants and shopping within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel. It’s not luxury in that sense, but it is a good value for the money. Our room was updated with a balcony and directly ocean front. From that perspective, I highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Loved this hotel’s location in Rapallo, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was fantastic with lots of options. The room we selected was small but it had everything we needed and it was perfectly designed to use the space effectively. The air-conditioning worked well which was key with 40 degree heat! We also loved sitting out on the small balcony overlooking the harbour in the evenings watching all the action below from tourists walking the promenade to the vespas speeding by. ||The staff gave us great dinner recommendations - which was so helpful. We prefer not to eat in all of the touristy restaurants but rather try some more authentic places.

We got a very warm welcome, great help and service at the reception. The family room we got had an amazing view of the sea, street, restaurants. Mini fridge in the room has very reasonable prices. Tv in both kid and grown ups room. The bathroom had everything we needed and was very fresh and clean. Small but very variated and yum breakfast.

Absolute gem of a hotel. Don't think about booking this hotel. Location, service, quality is much better than 3* that they are advertising. Honestly, during my two weeks stay in Italy, including many 5 star hotels, this was the best hotel overall. Also location is perfect to stroll around the town, sightseeing to local area etc. You really cannot go wrong with Vesuvio.

We are currently staying at this hotel. Upon arrival everything seemed great. Check in was nice and smooth. I wasn’t particularly thrilled that our room was opposite the elevator and staircase but guests were actually considerate and this didn’t cause too much noise. Little did I know this was the least of my worries! ||The room was spotlessly clean. Slightly on the small side but fine. A little disappointing that there were no tea and coffee making facilities.||The first night was fine, a little noise from the street but nothing that kept us awake. Along came Friday night! After a long and exhausting day we arrived back at our room just after 10pm to find there was a DJ literally below our balcony with music blasting out. It sounded like we had a disco in our room! ||At 11pm I called reception to find out what time this would stop to be informed midnight on a Friday AND Saturday evening! I expressed how unhappy I was but the man on reception was quite rude and said the police authorise them to play music until this time and basically there was nothing he could do. No apologies, no offer of a room change! ||How nobody else has not mentioned this on here prior to this review I don’t know! ||Had this been mentioned I would have NEVER booked this hotel. ||This isn’t just a little bit of loud music it is ridiculously loud and there is absolutely no chance of getting any sleep before midnight.

Hotel Vesuvio offers friendly, welcoming and very accommodating service that makes you feel right at home. The rooms are simple but modern, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, just steps away from the waterfront with most balconies offering a sea view. This was great value for our short stay in Rapallo!

A Perfect Stay in Rapallo! We had such a fantastic experience at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Everyone was so warm and helpful, with great recommendations for local trips. Their tips really helped us enjoy Rapallo and the surrounding areas to the fullest. The rooms were spotless! And the breakfast… just amazing! A real luxury experience with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options.Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Rapallo — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Three friends and I stayed 6 nights here in June in Superior rooms with side sea views. The hotel has recently been renovated and the rooms were very comfortable and clean with the usual amenities, including excellent showers and aircon. The hotel is family run and they and the staff were charming and always ready to help. There was a good variety of choices at breakfast and, as others have noted, the coffee was excellent. The location on the sea front is great, about 5 minutes' walk from the train station, 15 minutes' walk to the cable car to Montallegro with lovely views over Rapallo and a short walk to the 16th century sanctuary church, and almost opposite the ferry for trips to Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, San Fruttuoso and the Cinque Terre (a lovely day trip along the coast, but only on Sundays and Wednesdays when we were there). There's a great choice of restaurants along the sea front near the hotel and in the streets behind. Having stayed in Santa Magherita Ligure 3 years ago, I much prefer Rapallo, particularly as a base for visiting the area, and we would highly recommend Hotel Vesuvio as the place to stay.

If you're just looking for pizza with lousy service and a semi-decent view, this is your place. My wife and I will rarely eat at a restaurant this close to the main tourist area for this reason. We stayed at the beautiful Excelsior hotel in Rapallo. Went for a walk and wanted a quick bite. We stopped at Vesuvio Pizzeria, had a decent crowd, so we thought, ok. Salad was mixed greens with way too much red cabbage in it with some tomatoes. Bread was brought, had to ask for olive oil and balsamic (in Italy, really?). Then had to ask for extra plates for said olive oil. Asked for a slice of lemon to go with my water (which was forgotten) then reminded and I was brought an entire lemon cut into 's . To be fair, the pizza was quite tasty. But by far our worst dining experience since arriving in Italy. Lesson learned.

don't expect to much from this restaurant, it's just a touristic restaurant on the road next to the promenade, so it has a nice view on the sea. The food isn't that bad, but at home you will make better food. Bottom burnerd pizzas are not done, Unripe melons are not tastefull. Asking to move to another table - because it's too clold outiside - is not an option by the waiter and painfull when you see the table where you wanted to move too stays free all the evening. For us its a seen that done that experiance.

So disappointed after recommended by our Hotel Stella. Pasta was decent but my scallopini was tough and only edible when mixing with my wife's pasta. We asked for olive oil 3 times and finally got it with no plate. Wine recommendation was outstanding. Fresh parmesan cheese was not their thing. So many other choices. Avoid.

I came here on the closing side of lunchtime, which the servers made plain enough, and sat down to an order of seafood salad and trofie al pesto. Both dishes were decent enough, though not special, and I washed it all down with acqua stilo, for E29. But, whether washing or eating, I was constantly swatting: at flies. I sat near, but not on the sidewalk terrace, as it was too hot inside, and of all the places I ate at during my 5 week European trip to England and Italy, this one had the most flies. Surely something could be done about them, but I got the attitude from staff that not much will be. Too bad; the location's primo, but the flies have got to go!

Excellent food, service and price! Since Yelp wants long reviews I'm continuing to type until it accepts that I don't need to be overly wordy to express myself

There are few times in my life where I've been truly insulted, but I am obligated to report the horrendous service at this restaurant. Not sure if they dislike Americans but it certainly felt that way by the service! After being ignored for 15 minutes, they finally offered us a small table in the middle of traffic. We asked for a different table but she said she promised it to the Italians behind us. They had another window open up and asked again if we could have the table and were told that she was offering it to the Italians that just walked in... We waited at our table for another 10-15 minutes with no service after we watched as the 2 tables sat after us were enjoying drinks and bread baskets, we left for great service next door.... If you are tourist, skip this place!!!

Just a pizzeria plus, but with a spectacular location, right on the lungomare in Rapallo. Nobody really goes here for the food, but the place doesn't embarass itself, and the prices are good to low. Always full in season, and sometimes shows scoccer matches.
