A SPOOKTACULAR ESCAPE ON THE PORTOFINO COAST

Halloween doesn’t always have to mean grey skies, rain-soaked costumes, and too much sugar. This autumn, why not trade in the ordinary for something extraordinary? Imagine carving pumpkins on a sun-drenched terrace, trick-or-treating through cobbled Italian streets, and tucking your children into bed after a Disney movie night in a historic villa by the sea.

At Villa Porto Rapallo, our Family Halloween Escape blends seasonal fun with the timeless magic of the Italian Riviera. It’s half-term, but reimagined: a long weekend of laughter, wellness, and connection set against one of the most breathtaking coastlines in the world.

Halloween with an Italian Twist

Liguria may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Halloween, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Instead of crowded theme parks or neon-lit streets, you’ll find:

  • Golden autumn light spilling over Rapallo’s promenade.

  • Local folklore and legends, adding a touch of mystery to the season.

  • Seasonal feasts of chestnuts, pumpkin, and truffle-infused dishes.

Here, Halloween becomes something richer — a celebration of togetherness, discovery, and a slower kind of joy.

Moments to Remember

The weekend is designed to delight the whole family. While the children make pizzas, parents try their hand at pesto-making. While little ones head off on a Luca-inspired adventure in Monterosso, parents can soak up the villa’s tranquillity. And in the evenings, everyone comes together around the table — for pumpkin feasts, film nights, and Luca-themed dinners.

It’s a retreat where memories are made not just of costumes and candy, but of experiences you’ll treasure for years to come.

A Home by the Sea

Between activities, your family has the villa to call home. Spacious apartments, sea views, and a terrace perfect for aperitivo at sunset — it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger. (And if you do, extra nights are easy to add before or after the retreat.)

✨ Make This Half-Term Extraordinary

Our Family Halloween Escape runs 30 October – 2 November and is open to a small number of families. Spaces are limited, so if you’re ready for a Halloween filled with adventure, wellness, and a dash of Riviera magic…
