Rapallo, on the Riviera di Levante in Northern Italy, has been a popular holiday destination for hundreds of years. With stunning surrounding countryside, plenty of beaches and a beautiful town centre filled with historic attractions and restaurants, it is easy to see why people love Rapallo. While staying here, you could spend lazy days walking in the hills, swimming in the sea or heading out to neighbouring towns such as glamorous Portofino.  Just 2km from Villa Nula, you will find yourself in the heart of the action, wandering the winding, pastel-hued streets of Rapallo. This former fishing village has grown over the centuries and now offers many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. If you like browsing market stalls, the flea market here is fantastic, or you would like to book a wine tasting at the home of a resident, there is so much to see and do in Rapallo to keep you occupied! Lining the town, there are a few gorgeous beaches and a port for boat trips. You can visit historic attractions in the centre such as the 16th-century “Castle on the Sea”. This impressive coastal castle can be seen on all of the town’s postcards and fridge magnets and is the symbol of Rapallo; you should stop off here for a visit. For something a little different, why not take a fun and scenic cable car ride up the hills and enter the incredible Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro, an ornately decorated and frescoed church hailing from the 1500s? The church was cut off from the town until the cable car was constructed. You can also access walking trails from the top and a restaurant here. 
 
 Make sure to set aside a day to drive to Portofino, which is 9km away, or maybe you would prefer to approach this picturesque town from the sea, if so you can take a boat trip from Rapallo, you may even spot some of the native dolphins on the way or opt to combine your trip with a snorkelling stop. Portofino is the quintessential Italian seaside town known for its designer stores, such as the Balenciaga and Gucci stores. After a morning of shopping and a lazy brunch, you could even treat yourself to a spa afternoon. 
 
 If you are keen on long walks and wish to explore some of the nearby scenery, you can also take a boat ride from Portofino to San Fruttuoso which offers a secluded beach, hiking trails, an beautiful historic Abbey and an impressive underwater statue of Jesus Christ. San Fruttuoso sits within the Regional Park of Portofino, which is a delightful protected area of parkland.
