Location & what to see

Albergo Magenta is located in the heart of Casella, a small village in the Polcevera Valley overlooking Piazza XXV Aprile, just steps from the town’s main restaurants such as Centrale and Osteria da Nini, both less than 50 metres from the hotel. The area retains the atmosphere of a mountain village, far from city traffic, ideal for those seeking peace and quiet while remaining connected to Genoa.

Casella Paese station, the terminus of the historic Genoa-Casella Railway, is about 100 metres from the property and allows guests to reach the centre of Genoa by train through the hinterland woods. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 17 km away, while the Genoa Aquarium is about 27 km away. The Giovi Pass, a historic crossing point between Liguria and Piedmont, is just 5 km from the property.

Those staying in Casella can enjoy cycling and hiking along the trails of the Polcevera Valley, thanks to the bicycle rental service offered directly by the property. Among the most interesting destinations nearby are Villa Serra di Comago, 8 km away, the Pino Cembro adventure park 9 km away, and the Abbey of San Siro di Struppa, 9 km away, a testament to Ligurian Romanesque architecture. In winter the area is well suited to walks through quiet woods, while in summer the cooler climate compared to the coast makes Casella a convenient base for day trips away from the heat of Genoa.
