This is very nice hotel, with a perfect location with short walking distance to both Santa Margherita and Rapallo. The staff is very nice and attending, and speaks fluent English as well as French and German. The breakfast is excellent on Italian standards. I was there for cycling, and even for the sporting purpose the breakfast was plenty. We stayed... More

I recently stayed at L'Approdo with my fiancee. It is a lovely hotel, with bright big bedrooms: our room had a balcony overlooking the sea...breathtaking view! Very good breakfast with plenty of choice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I'd say the only thing I didn't like was the fact that we could hear another couple in the room next... More

Dear Guest, our staff is really thankfull for your kind appreciation. As far as noise in the room is concerned I am sorry that you could hear people in the room next to you and also surprised because our doors are "acoustic cut" (filled with a special foam against loudness). We will surely take your advise and check this matter... More

I stayed here recently with my wife for a wedding in Santa Margerita, having been recommended it by the bride as was most satisfied. The hotel is a shot walk from the train station but we chose to get a taxi as the route wasn't obvious until we were given a map by the receptionist. A taxi is 18 Euros... More

We stayed there for 3 nights in order to visit the Italy Riviera. The room was nice and clean. A little noise from the main road. Difficult to find free parking close at the street. Very nice view from the front balcony to the see. Very close to St Margarita - beautiful town to visit.

We booked last minute and didn’t have many choices. We got very lucky. The service (especially Francesca at the reception desk) was amazing. Talk about pleasant and friendly. ). Rooms are typical small European rooms, but ours was very clean and had a great view. Parking is limited, but we had no problem. We will go back if we can.

We chose L'Approdo as it was one of the more reasonably priced hotels in the Santa Margherita/Portofino area. Our room was lovely - clean and modern, with a sea view balcony.

We stayed there recently, and while the hotel is as nice as can be expected, the staff makes it truly special. Everyone was most helpful and super-friendly! The restaurant recommendations were all excellent, and we received many good tips on where to go and what to do. Overall a simply great experience.
