The Antico Pozzo Bed and Breakfast occupies a historic building in the heart of Finalborgo, about 2 km from the centre of Finale Ligure and 1.5 km from the sea. The property is aimed at those seeking a stay in a well-preserved medieval village, with alleys, arcades and the nearby Baia dei Saraceni just a short drive away.
The rooms, available in various configurations including doubles, triples and with private or shared bathroom facilities, all share air conditioning and flat-screen TVs; some also feature a terrace or balcony with views over the village. The room sizes exceed 30 sqm, a figure not to be taken for granted for a B&B in this category.
On the ground floor there is a bistro restaurant where guests can enjoy a continental, Italian or vegetarian breakfast, or dine without leaving the property. The bike rental service is useful for reaching the beaches or the cycle paths in the area. The central location in Finalborgo, particularly appreciated by couples, allows guests to explore the shops, bars and restaurants of the historic village on foot.

The rooms at the Antico Pozzo Bed and Breakfast are divided between accommodations with private bathroom and one type with shared facilities, all equipped with air conditioning and flat-screen TV with streaming services. The room sizes are generous for a B&B of this scale, ranging between 30 and 32 sqm, and several rooms enjoy views over the village or the town thanks to terraces or direct views over the rooftops of Finalborgo.
Bed configurations vary: some triple rooms combine a single bed with a large double bed to accommodate up to three people, while the room designed for couples offers a single extra-large double bed and a private bathroom with bathtub, hairdryer and bidet. Indoor or outdoor dining areas, wardrobes and tiled floors complete the furnishings, making each room type suitable for different needs, from small groups to couples seeking greater privacy.
Among the largest rooms in the property, this deluxe triple stands out for its private terrace overlooking the rooftops of the village, ideal for an outdoor coffee. It features an indoor dining area, air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower, as well as a flat-screen TV. The combination of a single bed and a large double bed makes it suitable for small groups or families with one child.
Slightly smaller than the Deluxe, this triple is the only room type with shared bathroom facilities, a more affordable option for those who don’t need a private bathroom. It still offers an outdoor dining area, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with streaming services, as well as a city view from the room.
Designed for couples, this is the only room in the property with an extra-large double bed and a private bathroom equipped with a bathtub, as well as a hairdryer and bidet. The generous size, the city view, the toiletries set and the dining area with wardrobe complete a more intimate accommodation compared to the triples, designed for two people.
The Antico Pozzo Bed and Breakfast offers free WiFi in all areas, air conditioning and non-smoking rooms, as well as family rooms for those travelling in groups. The in-house restaurant serves continental, Italian or vegetarian breakfast, with menus for special diets available on request, along with a snack bar and coffee shop for those who prefer a lighter meal.
Among the general services are bike rental, useful for reaching the sea or the cycle paths inland, and various organised activities such as hiking, walking tours and themed dinner evenings. Daily housekeeping, ironing, dry cleaning and luggage storage make the stay easier, while private check-in and check-out ensure greater privacy.
Pets are allowed on request, although a surcharge may apply. The property is entirely non-smoking and features a personalised key access system for each room.
The Antico Pozzo Bed and Breakfast is located in the heart of Finalborgo, the medieval hamlet of Finale Ligure enclosed by ancient walls and famous for its arcades, stone squares and craft shops. Just a few steps from the property, only 100 metres away, stands the Oratory of Santa Caterina, one of the village’s most characteristic historic sites, while restaurants such as Ratatuille and Petricore Farm Bistro are literally a few metres from the entrance.
The sea is just a few minutes away: the beach of Finale Ligure is 1.4 km away, while the Finale Ligure Marina railway station is 1.2 km away, convenient for those arriving without a car who want to travel along the Riviera. Genoa-Sestri Airport, the nearest international airport, is about 47 km away, a good hour’s drive along the motorway. The Baia dei Saraceni, one of the most photographed coves in the area, is also reachable in about 6 km.
Finalborgo has for years been a reference point for climbing and mountain biking enthusiasts, thanks to the nearby Finalese-Capo Noli area, 3.4 km away, rich in trails and cliffs. In summer the area comes alive with events such as the Finale Ligure Bike Festival, while in the off-season the village maintains a slower pace, ideal for strolling through its historic streets. A little further away, at 4.3 km, lies the Cavernone di Monte Cucco, a natural cave suitable for family excursions too.
