Hotel l'Approdo

My wife and I have just returned after spending seven lovely nights in this brilliant hotel. The owners Greta, Ricardo and all the staff do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable from making sure you are comfortable to advising on trips, restaurants and transport. Nothing seems to much trouble for them. The hotel is not large which we like and in a super elevated location roughly mid point between Santa and Rapallo. We had a room on the top floor with the most fantastic views over the bay, mountains and the church opposite just over the road.. I room was of ample size with lovely white linen and excellent quality quilts. There was enough storage space and a television on the table( no English channels, but who cares), Our terrace had two sunloungers, chairs and a small table. The bathroom is not the largest but more than adequate with a good powerful shower. Towels are spotlessly white and of good quality. Without doubt this is one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed at and hopefully we will return next year. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty options which you can sit either onside or on one of the two terraces. The hotel as a small lounge complete with bar and a very nice covered adjoining outside terrace. Buses to the towns stop directly outside the hptel and costs two euros, you can purchase bus tickets from reception. i am a very early riser and go out walking from five in the morning, there is always a night watchman available to open both the door and the gates to the hotel. As stated this is an immaculate maintained hotel and a credit to the owners who make you feel special and not just a paying guest.

We recently spent 3 nights at the L'Approdo during our visit to the Ligurian coast. The rooms were furnished quite simply, but they were very clean and comfortable. The rooms with balcony and view (particularly higher up) offer a wonderful panoramic vista and I'd highly recommend them. The staff was very welcoming and helpful - they even let us check-in an hour early. Breakfast choices were not lavish, but the food was fresh and offered some healthy choices. The hotel is conveniently located between Rapallo and Santa Margharita. However, the first several hundred yards towards Santa Margharita (a beautiful little village) are quite dangerous to walk since there is no sidewalk and plenty of traffic. Overall, L'Approdo is a great place to stay when visiting the Cinque Terre and I would highly recommend it.

Raramente mi son sentito accolto cosí bene come in questo Hotel, stanza pulita e in ordine e posizione comoda e vicino alla fermata della corriera che porta nei paesi limitrofi. Un Bel giardino completa il tutto. Consigliatissimo.
