Hotel Raphael, Bordighera Overview
Hotel Raphael is a 3-star hotel in Bordighera, Italy. Rated 7.2 out of 10 based on 80 guest reviews.
Hotel Raphael is a 3-star property in Vallecrosia, part of the Bordighera area on Italy’s Ligurian coast. You’ll find it at Via Angeli Custodi 128, a practical base for travelers who want to move between seaside towns and nearby attractions without staying in the busiest centers. Rooms are air-conditioned and kept non-smoking, and the hotel also lists room service, family rooms, and non-smoking throughout, which helps if you’re traveling with children or prefer a quieter indoor environment.
Guests rate Hotel Raphael 7.2/10 based on 80 reviews, and the overall comments tend to reflect a straightforward, comfortable stay rather than a high-gloss experience. Many visitors appear to value the basics done well, including the convenience of luggage storage and a safety deposit box for peace of mind. For day-to-day planning, the tour desk and car hire support are useful for road-trippers mapping out the coast. Some guests also mention that staff assistance and the ability to handle practical needs, such as fax/photocopying, makes short stays easier to manage.
If you’re looking for a base with easy access to the region, it’s a good match for couples, families, and solo explorers who plan to spend time outdoors. From here, you can reach the Hanbury Gardens in about 14 km, and Bordighera’s palm-lined seafront is roughly 7 km away. For bigger day trips, Sanremo’s Casino sits around 25 km, while Nice and Monaco are within a longer drive, depending on traffic.
Parking is not available on-site, so plan accordingly if you’re arriving by car and need to factor in where to leave it.
