Rapallo
Known for its mild winters where people enjoy leisurely strolls on the sunny promenade and golfers enjoy one of the oldest courses in Italy year round, Rapallo is the winter residence of preference for most of the affluent Italians living in the North West of Italy.
Though modern development is happening at the outskirts of the city, at its heart, Rapallo it is still the gracious seaside village that attracted the likes of Ezra Pound, D.H. Lawrence and the famous English caricaturist, Max Beerbohm to reside here. Guarded by a medieval castle and the sociable promenade along the sea, it is always alive with interesting people and the special ambiance that belongs only to a seaport town.
