B&B Genova Centro is a family-run bed and breakfast located in the historic heart of Genoa, just 300 metres from the city centre and about 2.7 km from Punta Vagno Beach.
The property offers five types of air-conditioned rooms, some with shared bathroom and others with private bathroom, all equipped with minibar, coffee machine and electric kettle for preparing tea and coffee directly in the room. Several options come with a balcony overlooking the city and a bathtub, while the more recent rooms have a private bathroom with shower. An Italian breakfast is served every morning, appreciated by guests for its genuineness and variety.
The location is one of the property’s strengths: De Ferrari metro station is 200 metres away, Palazzo Ducale is 300 metres away and the Aquarium of Genoa is 700 metres away, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 11 km away. It’s a good choice for those who want to move around comfortably on foot among the alleys of the historic centre, the Rolli palaces and the old port, without giving up the comfort of a family-run, well-located accommodation.
The rooms at B&B Genova Centro are divided between shared bathroom options, which are more affordable, and private bathroom rooms, designed for those seeking more independence. All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with minibar, coffee machine and electric kettle, so guests can prepare a hot drink at any time of day without having to go down to the common room.
Room sizes range from 18 to 28 square metres, and some room types have a balcony overlooking the city, ideal for those who want to look out over the rooftops of Genoa’s historic centre. The larger rooms, designed for three people, add a sofa bed to the main double bed, while the more compact options remain designed for couples. Those seeking maximum privacy can choose the rooms with an internal private bathroom, also equipped with a shower or bathtub depending on the type.
At 28 sqm, this is one of the largest rooms in the property and the only one designed to accommodate up to three people thanks to the sofa bed paired with the double bed. It has a balcony overlooking the city, air conditioning and a shared bathroom with bathtub, a practical solution for families or small groups on a budget.
This is the most compact room type in the property, with 18 sqm designed for two people. It shares with the Quadruple Room the shared bathroom with bathtub and the balcony with city view, but here the space is tailored for a couple looking for a simple, affordable solution in the heart of Genoa.
The coziest of the rooms with a private bathroom, with 20 sqm arranged with a living area and flat-screen TV. Unlike the shared-bathroom rooms, here guests have their own private facilities, plus minibar and coffee machine, in a solution designed for couples travelling together.
Larger than the previous Double Room with private bathroom, this 22 sqm room adds a sofa bed to accommodate up to three people. The private bathroom is equipped with a shower and bidet, while the city view and wardrobe complete a setup designed for slightly longer stays.
This is the most spacious private-bathroom room in the property, with 28 sqm and a balcony overlooking the city. Unlike the other private-bathroom options, here the bathroom is located outside the room but reserved exclusively for guests, with a shower; the sofa bed also makes it suitable for small groups.

B&B Genova Centro is located on Via Roma, in the very heart of Genoa’s historic centre, just steps from Via XX Settembre and the Rolli palaces that dot the neighbourhood. The area is one of the liveliest in the city, with bars and restaurants just metres from the entrance, such as Ladidà 40 metres away and Pesciolino 50 metres away, while still retaining an elegant character thanks to historic buildings like Palazzo Spinola and Palazzo Negrone, both about 150 metres away.
Getting around is easy: De Ferrari metro station is 200 metres away, while Portello train station is 300 metres away. Piazza De Ferrari, the civic heart of the city, is 250 metres away, and Palazzo Ducale is 300 metres away. The Aquarium of Genoa, one of the most visited in Europe, is about 700 metres away on foot, while Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 11 km away. Punta Vagno Beach, the closest, is about 2.7 km away.
Those staying here can spend their days exploring the historic centre, among caruggi, Baroque churches and the Strada Nuova museums such as Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Doria Tursi, both about 350 metres away. In summer, in addition to the beaches around Boccadasse further east, it’s worth heading up to D’Albertis Castle, 1.4 km away, for a panoramic view over the port. In winter the centre remains lively thanks to the markets and events that fill Piazza De Ferrari and the nearby arcades.
