The Club at Rapallo

new vacation homes in estero, floridaThe Clubhouse

At the first glimpse of the porte-cochere, the clubhouse charms you with its sense of place and time. Like ancient Liguria, Italy, this mosaic of buildings, with its towers, colonnades, random rooflines and stacked stone warms you like the Mediterranean sun. As you stroll the clubhouse, you discover a clubroom with rich finishes and indoor dining for 96, a professional catering kitchen and outdoor seating in the Rotunda for 48 more. Just steps away is the formal garden with its trellises, bougainvillea, Fluvium Fountain and courtyard for another 60 guests for hors d'oeuvres. Best of all, the Club Manager, the Activities Director and all the staff are dedicated to pampering you and your guests.

Lagoon Pools

Water splashes down the waterfalls, and the coconut palms sway in the breeze. This is truly a special place with its rock grotto, and two-level resort pools and spa. The two-level sundeck with its lush landscaping is the gathering place for up to 240 sun worshippers. Just a short walk away, you'll discover the quiet escape of the freshwater beach or the action of the Firepit.

The Sports Club

The 13,200 square foot sports club has just about everything! Tennis, health and fitness, swimming, walking, and fishing plus lots of fun and new friends. The club is furnished with state-of-the-art equipment, knowledgeable staff, and well-appointed ladies and men's locker room, each complete with saunas, showers, and massage therapy and Player's Bistro is the social "Hot Spot".

The Health & Fitness Center

Olympic Lap Pool

If a peaceful hour of freestyle is your daily regimen you'll appreciate the screen enclosed four lane, 25 meter lap pool - just steps away from the fitness Center and locker rooms.

Massage Therapy & Sauna

After the game or work-out or before an evening out relax those muscles with a professional massage followed by a cleansing sauna (located in each the ladies' and men's lockerooms).

The Arts and Learning Studio

Aspiring Michelangelos and novice net surfers alike will appreciate the 4,200 square foot Arts & Learning Studio at Rapallo®. A place to discover and expand your creative horizons with three creative arts studios (painting,  sculpture, and ceramics) plus a classroom for instructional classes in anything from fine arts, languages, computers, or your tax return as well as a media center with a library and cyberspace.

Walking/Biking Paths

Undoubtedly the best way to keep in shape, "clear the cobwebs" and meet your neighbors is a morning or evening walk. Two miles of walking/biking path weave through the lush perimeter of The Club At Rapallo® including a very special quarter-mile lakeside boardwalk overlooking the Halfway Creek Wildlife Preserve. And for your convenience the five pedestrian gates along the walking/biking path link you to the Coconut Point Town Center or The Art District.

Piazza Doria

The Centerpiece of The Club at Rapallo® is this cobblestone, round-a-bout with its four bronze Romans gods and classic fountain inspired by the Palazzo Doria. The trellised piazza is surrounded by quaint bridges, boardwalks, fishing levees and a beautiful botanical garden, a tribute to the father of the Renaissance and the romantic heart of the Mediterranean.

The Botanical Gardens

At the edge of Piazza Doria is the enchanting blend of colors and scents of the Botanical Garden. Follow the winding path amongst the trees and flowers past the bronze stallion sculptures to the picnic trellised gazebo where family and friends can share a glass of Bordeau, break bread and pass the afternoon.

Stocked Lakes and Fishing Piers

Nine freshwater lakes, 22 acres in all, stocked with largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill. You can catch 'em if you release 'em. The two fishing piers even have grilling areas, perfect for informal get-togethers. The fishing levees and preserve boardwalks offer some of the best fishing. And you'll love the sights and sounds of the 42 "foaming" lake fountains set against the sunset.
