Giovanni & Alessandra's knowledge of Genova is invaluable. Suggestions for restaurants with the local specialities were delicious.
The previous reviews are spot on- we enjoyed Giovanni's passion for his renovation work & Alessandra's cakes were delicious.
Highly recommend.

This B&B is located in a narrow street, very near the railway and bus station. The street is narrow but clean and safe. When you enter the B&B, you have to climb a lot of stairs. There is 1 long staircase, which takes you straight up to the B&B. Giovanni will help you with your luggage. There are 4 rooms, and they are nicely decorated. The building is old but has been beautifully renovated by the owners. Because it is old, the walls are thick and so they can do without airco. They do have ceiling fans which provide a nice breeze without being noisy.
Beds are very comfortable and the rooms are very clean. Breakfast is nice and fresh, and there is plenty to eat. The owners, Giovannni and Alessandra, are very helpful and will give you all the information you need to know and useful tips about Genova and surroundings, in good English!
The city center (Via Garibaldi, where the museums are) and old harbour can be reached on foot, expect a 20-25 min walk. You can also take the bus.
A nice trip by train is to go to Nervi. It takes about 10-15 min by train. You can swim in the sea there and eat at one of the restaurants overlooking te sea.

If you want to experience a truly welcoming time in Genoa then there is no better place to stay than Il Borgo di Genova. Alessandria is a true wonder and went to endless lengths to make our time well spent. She came to collect us from the train station (after we got lost), gave advice for restaurants (all turning out to be great) and top tips of where to visit. The whole place was immaculate, bathroom spotless and the breakfast was agreeable.

The B&B is a little out of the centre but we enjoyed the walk into town and we were next to the train station so transport was very easy.

A very pleasant stay and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

Nothing is lied in the other recommendations. Perfect spot when you stay few days in Genua. Lovely rooms, very nice and helpful owners, perfect breakfast.
