OUR STORY

LIVE LIKE A STAR AT VILLA PORTO RAPALLO: WHERE MUSICAL HISTORY MEETS MODERN DAY LUXURY

Villa Porto Rapallo has resided beside the Italian Riviera for over a century. The property was originally a grand family home, before it was transformed into a full-service hotel and well-renowned entertainment mecca for international musical stars. During the sixties and seventies the likes of Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker, Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Ray Charles, James Brown, Julio Iglesias and Liza Minelli were all honoured guests of the hotel. After a 30- year period of neglect Villa Porto Rapallo has been bought back to life by its new owners, Simon Catt and Lisa Pelloso, who have thoughtfully reinterpreted the space into 5 contemporary, luxurious apartments, whilst respecting the building’s iconic heritage.
