A truly beautiful hotel with extremely comfortable rooms and a serene atmosphere. Although we booked a partial seaview room that ran along the side of the hotel I was a little put out that we were put in a room on the 1st floor second from the back, and considering that we were there for 12 nights this didnt reallly... more

GHB is about a 15 minute walk outside Rapallo which is easy but does get a bit boring after a while, but in my experience the best hotels tend to be just outside the main towns.

Due to the higher price of the rooms it prevents the more down market clients booking in. You can really let your imagination go wild in this place, and often I felt like i was... more

We stayed in this hotel in June and loved having the sea right outside the window. We walked down the footpath to the town every night and had dinner at one of the local restaurants.

The staff all spoke English and couldn't... more

We had never visited this part of Italy before and therefore I did a bit of research prior to booking this hotel by using Tripadvisor to seek peoples views. As Bristol Uk is where I originate the name had its attraction to me!. I used the Citalia website and took advantage of their offer of 4 nights for the price... more

There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, about every hour there is a bus to the station of Rapallo or to Zoagli and Chiavari. A 7-days bus pass for... more
