B&B Il Cedro is a family-run bed and breakfast in Genoa, Liguria, about 7 km from the historic centre and 10 km from the University of Genoa. The property is located in a residential area surrounded by greenery, reachable via a narrow road not suitable for all vehicles, a feature that accentuates its secluded and intimate character.
The available rooms range from a double room with single beds featuring a balcony and garden view, to a quadruple room designed for families or small groups. All units have a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, while some also offer an outdoor dining area or balcony. Breakfast, served either continental or as a takeaway, is included in the stay.
Guests can enjoy a garden with barbecue, a common lounge, a children’s playground and free private parking, as well as free WiFi throughout the property. Pets are allowed on request, with a possible surcharge. Its location away from the centre makes B&B Il Cedro a suitable choice for those seeking a quiet stay, with the main city attractions and the coast reachable by car.
B&B Il Cedro offers four room types, designed to suit couples, small groups and families with children. The two double rooms, of 12 and 10 sqm, share a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and views over the surrounding garden, with the first standing out for its private balcony and views that also open onto the hills. The two quadruple rooms, designed for groups of up to four people, offer more sleeping space but have more limited data on size and specific amenities.
All room types feature single beds combined with a large double bed, a versatile configuration that comfortably accommodates families with young children. A private bathroom is guaranteed in most room types, while amenities such as a coffee machine and garden barbecue are shared with the property’s common areas, enriching the stay experience without being tied to individual rooms.
The largest of the double rooms at B&B Il Cedro, at 12 sqm with a private balcony opening onto garden and mountain views. Equipped with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and coffee machine, it is the only room among those in the property with a direct outdoor view.
More compact than the double room with balcony, this 10 sqm room makes up for it with a dedicated outdoor dining area, convenient for those who wish to dine outside. Garden view, private bathroom and desk complete a practical solution for short stays.
Designed for families or small groups of up to four people, this quadruple room offers three beds in a mixed configuration, suitable for those travelling with children. Unlike the double rooms, it does not include a dedicated private bathroom among its confirmed amenities.
The property’s second quadruple room, identical in bed configuration to the previous one but with a private bathroom included, a detail that makes it preferable for those who do not wish to share facilities with other guests of the house.
B&B Il Cedro focuses on shared spaces designed for outdoor living and families: the garden with barbecue and outdoor furniture is the heart of the property, alongside a common lounge with TV area and board games for relaxing moments. There is also a dedicated children’s playground, along with pet bowls for those travelling with their dog or cat.
Among the practical services, the property offers daily housekeeping, invoices available on request, babysitting service and car rental for those who wish to move independently towards the centre of Genoa or the coast. Free private parking, supplemented by street parking, is a real advantage for those arriving by car in a non-central area.
Free WiFi covers the entire property, while the whole building is entirely non-smoking, including all rooms. Families will find an environment tailored to their needs here, with public transport tickets and key access for maximum guest independence.
