At Villa Porto Rapallo, every moment is yours to design
COASTAL CALM & CLUB PRIVELEGES
Just a stone’s throw from the villa, one of the Italian Riviera’s most exclusive beach clubs awaits. Our concierge can arrange five-star treatment at this neighbouring luxury destination, complete with an infinity pool, spa access, and fine dining. Spend the day basking in the sun, swimming in the sea, and sipping cocktails by the pool.
THE RIVIERA IN A DAY
Wake up to sea breeze and sunlight filtering through linen curtains. A slow breakfast on your terrace sets the tone, followed by a half-day private boat charter along the rugged Ligurian coast. Dive off the bow into glass-clear waters. Dry off in the sun, prosecco in hand. Return for a cooking class with a local chef — fresh pesto, handmade pasta, wine that tastes like summer. Close the day with a massage and a private dinner, served on your balcony as the harbour lights flicker to life.
THE WELLNESS INTERLUDE
For those seeking a softer pace, let your day begin with private yoga session overlooking the bay, followed by a nutrient-rich breakfast of seasonal fruit, herbal tea, and warm focaccia. In-suite treatments await — perhaps a Thai yoga massage or reflexology. Spend the afternoon journalling in the garden, or exploring the quiet trails above Rapallo. In the evening, join Lisa, our in-house nutritionist, for a guided cooking experience or personalised one-to-one session.
THE FAMILY ESCAPE
Little hands help shape gnocchi in our fresh pasta class while grown-ups sample local wines nearby. An afternoon spent at the beach club, followed by a sunset boat ride with swimming stops and gelato. Back at the villa, a movie night with Italian biscuits they helped bake, and extra towels ready for post-bath cuddles. For multi-generational groups, we’ll coordinate activities that balance fun, rest, and discovery.
THE PORTOFINO AFFAIR
Cruise along the coastline from Villa Porto Rapallo to the iconic Portofino, where a day of chic shopping and elegant dining awaits. Meander through designer boutiques, pause for coffee in sun-drenched piazzas, and linger over a long lunch by the harbour. Return just as golden hour begins, the villa ready to welcome you home — perhaps to a sunset aperitivo or a candlelit dinner prepared by your private chef. For those who live for la dolce vita, this is your perfect day.
THE LOVER’S WALK
For a day steeped in romance and wonder, let us arrange a private transfer to the Cinque Terre. Your guide will lead you along Via dell’Amore — the famed Lover’s Walk — connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola with heart-stopping views at every turn. Stop to swim in hidden coves, toast with limoncello spritzes in a seaside bar, and dine cliffside as the sun dips below the horizon. Return to the villa with salt on your skin and stories in your eyes — a day that lingers long after it ends.
THE ART IMMERSION
Begin your day in Villa Porto Rapallo’s underground gallery, where Giorgio Piccaia’s contemporary works bring a modern touch to historic surroundings. Later, join Giorgio for an intimate garden or atelier painting class. He’ll guide you through watercolour techniques and creative expression at your own pace. With light lunch, conversation, and time to create, you’ll leave with your own Riviera-inspired masterpiece — a personal memento of your artistic retreat.
THE CULINARY THEATRE
Step into the heart of Ligurian tradition with an experience that’s equal parts performance and pleasure. Watch local artisans bring age-old recipes to life — whether it’s the rhythmic kneading of focaccia or the fragrant art of pesto made by hand. You’re not just observing — you’re invited to join in. Grind, mix, shape, taste. Then sit down to enjoy your creation with a glass of local wine. Rooted in ritual and rich with flavour, it’s a joyful, sensory journey into the spirit of Riviera living.
VILLA FIT
Ease into the day with sunrise views and a private training session tailored to your goals — whether that’s strength, mobility, or mindful movement. Our garden gym space offers everything you need, with a personal trainer on hand to guide and inspire.Afterwards, enjoy a post-workout breakfast curated by our in-house nutritionist, Lisa Pelloso, followed by a one-on-one consultation to refine your health goals. The rest of the day is yours: relax in the garden, take a coastal walk, or enjoy an energising massage.
Fitness, fuel and flow — all designed around you.
THE ART OF PRIVATE DINING
An evening to remember, without leaving the villa.Let our private chef craft a bespoke menu just for you — drawing on seasonal ingredients, regional flavours, and your personal preferences. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two on the terrace, or a celebratory feast with family and friends, every detail is thoughtfully tailored.
