👉 WHY RAPALLO IS A STRATEGIC BASE

Are you looking for a holiday home in Liguria to visit the Cinque Terre, Portofino and San Fruttuoso without a car?

Choosing the right base is important.

Levanto is excellent for the Cinque Terre, but Portofino and San Fruttuoso are far away.

Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino are perfect if you want to explore the Tigullio area, but less convenient if you want to combine the Tigullio with the Cinque Terre.

If you want to do both, look for a location with:

direct boat services to Portofino and San Fruttuoso;
a railway station served by many trains every day.

This is where Rapallo comes in.

Rapallo makes it easy to alternate between train and boat, without depending on a car and while avoiding the higher prices of Santa Margherita and Portofino.

👉 CINQUE TERRE BY TRAIN

Rapallo is located on the railway line along the eastern Ligurian coast.

From the station, you can reach the Cinque Terre by train, avoiding coastal traffic and the problem of finding parking.

👉 PORTOFINO AND SAN FRUTTUOSO DI CAMOGLI BY BOAT

The Rapallo boat pier is just two minutes from Time Is You and offers boat connections to Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino and San Fruttuoso di Camogli, according to the service timetable and sea conditions.

And here is an advantage that is often underestimated:

you don't have to choose just one way of getting around for your entire holiday.

One day you can take the train.

Another day, the boat.

And return to Rapallo in the evening.

No car.
No traffic.
No searching for parking every time you want to visit a different village.

👉 THE LOCATION OF TIME IS YOU

For a couple or family travelling without a car, choosing “Rapallo” alone is not enough.

It is worth looking for a truly central home that is also close to both the railway station and the boat pier.

TIME IS YOU is in exactly this position.

The apartment is 30 meters from Piazza Cavour, in the heart of Rapallo's historic center.

We measured the distances using Google Earth and then actually walked the routes at a brisk pace, stopwatch in hand, starting from the front door.

🛥️ BOAT PIER
146 meters as the crow flies.
1 minute and 54 seconds on foot, walking at a brisk pace.

🚆 RAILWAY STATION
230 meters as the crow flies.
2 minutes and 53 seconds on foot, walking at a brisk pace.

📍 PIAZZA CAVOUR
30 meters from the front door of TIME IS YOU.

We don't simply say “just a few steps away”: we actually used a stopwatch.

👉 YOU DON'T PAY FOR A SEA VIEW HERE

TIME IS YOU does not have a sea view.

And we say this clearly because, for the kind of holiday this apartment is designed for, that can actually be an advantage.

A sea-view property can come with a significant price premium.

But if you are a couple or family coming to Liguria to visit the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure and San Fruttuoso di Camogli, how many hours will you actually spend looking at the sea from your window?

You will see the sea from the sea.

Take the boat from Rapallo and reach Santa Margherita, Portofino and San Fruttuoso.

Take the train to the Cinque Terre, or reach Monterosso by boat if you like the idea of a mini cruise during the summer season.

Walk, explore villages, eat out, swim, take a boat trip.

Your holiday happens outside the window.

That's why TIME IS YOU focuses on something you will use every single day:

the location.

30 meters from Piazza Cavour.
1'54" from the boat pier.
2'53" from the railway station.

You are not paying for a sea view.

You are paying for a location that lets you reach the sea.

👉 GETTING TO RAPALLO WITHOUT A CAR

Rapallo is an important railway station on the eastern Ligurian coast, served by regional trains as well as long-distance services.

For those travelling from Milan, Turin, Rome or other Italian cities, the train can therefore be a practical alternative to driving, with direct connections available depending on the timetable and the day.
