Located directly on the Vittorio Veneto waterfront, Rapallo Castle-known as the "Castle on the Sea"-is one of the city's most fascinating symbols. Built in 1551 as a defense against pirates, today it offers a striking location for exhibitions and cultural events. Its privileged position on the sea provides spectacular views, especially at sunset, when the sky is tinged with warm, romantic colors. Ideal for a relaxing stroll or to immortalize special memories with a photo, it is just a few minutes' walk from Hotel Bel Sit.

One of the most enjoyable experiences is the scenic walk from Rapallo to Santa Margherita Ligure, which skirts the sea among lush vegetation and elegant villas. It is a simple but charming route, ideal for couples and families alike, with benches and viewpoints where you can stop and contemplate the landscape. Upon arrival in Santa Margherita, you are greeted by an elegant seaside village full of cafes, stores and artisanal ice cream parlors. It is also perfect for quality shopping or enjoying an aperitif overlooking the sea. A little walking adventure that combines relaxation and Ligurian beauty.

Regular boats depart from the port of Rapallo for one of Liguria's pearls, Portofino. The journey itself is a spectacle, with sheer cliffs, hidden coves, and the emerald waters of the Tigullio Gulf. Arriving by sea, Portofino reveals itself in all its beauty: an elegant, picturesque village with colorful houses, exclusive boutiques, and the famous little harbor. Once there, you can visit the Brown Castle or walk to the lighthouse for an unforgettable view. It's a perfect excursion for those looking for romance, picture-postcard scenery and a touch of glamour.
