Property Description
A Five minutes walk from the town center, completely positioned to the South, open all year round, with spacious secured parking. Hotel Continental belongs to the Ciana Hotels chain. It was built in 1904 by grandfather Alberto, on a cliff directly on the sea separated by a park lined with tall palm trees, and with long spacious meadows which are bordered with flowers throughout the year. An oasis of peace and relaxation. The restaurant, particularly suggested for banquets, has a beautiful terrace facing the sea. From May to October the private beach is open to our clients with a small restaurant where a Chef serves spaghetti, salad, and fresh fish. The feature of this hotel is actually about human dimensions, so the guest feels at home and is attended to by an extremely qualified staff.

Attractions

The elegantly appointed restaurant offers a panoramic view of the sea and coast line while patrons enjoy both local and international cuisine served by a staff of the highest quality. From May to October there is also beach side dining available.
- CINQUE TERRE:
Only one day is needed to travel to the famous Cinque Terre, a beautiful destination situated east of Moneglia towards La Spezia. It consists of five small villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore set along the high and jagged coastline, where grape cultivations produce wines of great prestige. They can easily be reached from Rapallo by sea or train. Departing from Riomaggiore the cinque terre can be visited by foot, through guided tracks or by train.Do not miss out on the walk connecting the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola known as Via dell Amore. It is a 20-minute walk, peaceful and spectacular etched into the rock high above the sea, suitable for everyone. The mild climate and beauty of the landscape makes it a popular tourist destination in summer and winter. The path contains many benches for stops along the way, so that the splendid panorama can be fully admired. On arriving at Manarola it is possible to visit the small village and from here set off for the other villages by train or, for those who have some trekking experience, on foot along the sentiero Azzurro.
- GENOA:
you will see a majestic city on the side of a rugged hill, proud in its men folk and city walls, whose aspect alone tells you the city is mistress of the sea.? This is how the poet Francesco Petrarca described Genoa on writing of his visit in 1358. Mighty Maritime Republic, for many centuries heart of the meditteranean sea traffic, today Genoa is not only an important port but also a city of art and culture, who knew how to revalue its immense artistic and cultural heritage. PALAZZO DUCALE - through hundreds of years of history, lived as the seat of the Republic and home to the Dogi family, the Palazzo Ducale di Genova, after ten years of restructuring work, is not just a historical building, but an intelligent structure, centre of ideas and the cultural and social initiatives of the city. THE GENOA AQUARIUM - The largest aquarium in Europe, 71 tanks that reproduce marine, lake and land environments. The aquarium has 600 species with over 6000 specimens of fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds and invertebrates. A visit to the aquarium is an emotional journey into the immensity of the sea world discovering the friendly seals, the intelligent dolphins, the awkward penguins, the disquieting calm sharks and the sweet young sea puppies. You can also take a behind the scenes look at the work that goes into up-keeping the Aquarium.
- ON SITE AND NEARBY RECREATION:
The Hotel Continental has its own private bathing area and beach which can be reached directly through the beautiful hotel park and gardens. The rock formation uniquely provides a natural swimming pool in the sea. Water skiing, wind surfing, sailing and fishing are all choices avaialble. Tennis is nearby at 0.8 Kms, golfing at 2 Kms and horseback riding at 3 kms.
- PORTOFINO:
This picturesque fishing village, set in an enchanting inlet of the promontory with the same name and surrounded by a natural setting of unrivalled beauty, has rightly become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The area was already famous for its beauty in the Roman era and its virtues later aroused the enthusiasm of Petrarca. A charming way to reach the coast of Monte di Portofino is by ferry, the best way to fully appreciate the thick green vegetation, bays and narrow gorges. When Guy de Maupassan arrived here by sea in 1889, he described it as ?a small village surrounded by a woodland of intense and fresh greenery?.Portus Delphini, or better, port of the dolphins as it was called by Pliny, is a simple fishing village with narrow and coloured buildings leaning against each other and crossed by numerous streets leading to the famous Piazzetta.
- SAN FRUTTUOSO:
Between Camogli and Portofino in an enchanting inlet easily reachable by ferry, rises a small fishing village famous for the spectacular Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a Medieval architectural jewel from Liguria set like a pearl to the rear of a bay in Monte di Portofino.The Monastic complex, small paradise, was donated to the Italian Environmental Protection Foundation by the Doria family. It includes an 11th century church with octagonal bell tower, Romanesque cloister, a 13th century palazzo supported by sturdy arches with noble triple-lancet windows and the Doria family crypt. Rent a characteristic fishing boat to admire the statue of the ?Cristo degli abissi? lowered into the bay by locals on 29 August 1954 from an idea by the Genovese scuba diver Duilio Marcante.The two and a half meter and 260 kilogram bronze statue is the work of Guido Galletti. To allow everyone to admire it even in bad sea conditions, a copy of the Christ statue was placed in the chapel adjoining the Church of San Fruttuoso in 1974.

Situated in the innermost and protected part of the Gulf of Tigullio, Rapallo is the oldest area in the entire zone. It is a refined tourist spot well known for its marina, golf course, equestrian events, beaches and cultural events.The city centre looks out over the Vittorio Veneto promenade adorned with palm trees and flowerbeds and with a wide and splendid view of the Gulf. The castle built in 1550 to protect the town from invasions is one of the main attractions. Today it is used to hold exhibitions and tourists events. According to legend, the history of Rapallo dates back to the era of Hannibal ? a bridge in his name is testimony of this ? and continues, through numerous historical events where it is more or less a voluntary protagonist, to the present day.
