The Art District at Rapallo™ | |
| Strolling slowly down cobblestone streets accented with fountains and sculptures, watching the street festival, browsing the markets for fresh baked-goods, deli and fruit have all been Mediterranean traditions for thousands of years. Now, those ancient traditions are coming to Southwest Florida as the centerpiece of a new upscale urban village in Estero - The Art District at Rapallo TM. | Located next to Rapallo® at Coconut Point, along U S 41 at Williams Road, The Art District at Rapallo TM will be unlike any other neighborhood in the Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs or Naples area. The Art District at Rapallo TM was created to enhance the life of its residents by including all the Old World elements which provide a sense of place and community plus membership in the exclusive Club at Rapallo® with its Clubhouse & Lagoon Pools, Tennis Center, Fitness Center and Olympic Lap Pool, Arts & Learning Studio, lakes, wildlife preserve and walking paths. |
The people in the coastal villages of Liguria, Italy are intimately connected to their public spaces -the streets and piazzas, the parks and cafes, the lanes and courtyards. No day is complete without the 'passeggiata', the time honored evening stroll to dinner, stopping for a chat with neighbors, or an impromptu street performance. |
The Art District at RapalloTM recreates this casual forum with places to walk or pause to shop, to dine and take in a street festival, entertainers, sidewalk cafes, art galleries, and of course, 'gelato'. |
