Rapallo is a municipality in the province of Genoa, Liguria, northern Italy. It is situated on the Ligurian Sea coast, on the Tigullio Gulf, between Portofino and Chiavari.

Gervasius and Protasius and The Castello di Punta Pagana.

We were very satisfied with our trip! It went very smoothly thanks to RoutePerfect. You went over and above my expectations! When we needed to change hotels on our itinerary, your staff was accessible by phone, willing to help, and promptly made the changes that I needed. Thank you for your website, it's very helpful and user friendly.

It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.
