B&B Ligustico is a bed and breakfast in the historic center of Genoa, 400 meters from the University of Genoa and 500 meters from the Aquarium of Genoa.
The property offers just two room types, designed for those seeking the independence of an apartment with the convenience of a B&B: both feature a private kitchen with hob, refrigerator, microwave and complete utensils, air conditioning and a private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. Breakfast, served every morning, is Italian and buffet-style.
The location in the heart of Genoa’s caruggi is one of its most appreciated strengths: reviews give the area a score of 9.4, particularly loved by couples. Within a few hundred meters you’ll find Palazzo Bianco, Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Doria Tursi and the Church of San Siro, while Genoa-Sestri Airport can be reached in just a few minutes. A suitable solution for those visiting the city on foot, with no need for a car.
B&B Ligustico offers two room types, both located in a historic center apartment and designed to give guests independence thanks to the private kitchen in each one, complete with hob, refrigerator, microwave and utensils. All rooms feature air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer.
The main difference lies in size and capacity: the Double Room with Private Bathroom is the largest, at 18 square meters with a bathtub, designed for couples who want more space; the Single Room with Private Bathroom, more compact at 12 square meters, is ideal for a solo traveler. Both rooms enjoy a view of the inner courtyard, a detail that provides peace and quiet despite the central location.
The most spacious room in the property, at 18 square meters, is designed for two people and stands out for its bathtub, the only one among the two room types available. It features a private kitchen with hob, refrigerator and microwave, a dining area with table, air conditioning and a view of the inner courtyard. The private bathroom includes toiletries and a hairdryer, while the living area includes a wardrobe and a desk.
More compact than the Double Room, at 12 square meters, this room is designed for a single guest and still includes a private kitchen complete with hob, refrigerator and utensils. The private bathroom has a shower and hairdryer, while air conditioning and a flat-screen TV complete the amenities. Here too, the view opens onto the inner courtyard, ensuring a quiet setting despite the city-center location.
B&B Ligustico offers guests a range of services designed for those who want the freedom of an apartment with the comforts of a B&B.

B&B Ligustico is located in the very heart of Genoa’s historic center, among the caruggi winding around Via Cairoli, a few steps from some of the city’s most famous palaces. The area is lively and pedestrian, full of small bars and traditional restaurants, with an authentic character that stays away from the more touristy routes while remaining close to the main monuments.
The Church of San Siro and the Birthplace of Giuseppe Mazzini are about 50 meters away, while Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso, must-see stops of the Musei di Strada Nuova, are 150 and 200 meters away respectively. The Aquarium of Genoa, one of the largest in Europe, can be reached in about 350 meters, and the Darsena metro stop is just 250 meters away. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 5 km away, convenient for those arriving by plane.
Guests staying here can easily walk to Piazza De Ferrari, Palazzo Ducale and Porta Soprana, or head to the Galata Museo del Mare to learn more about the city’s maritime history. For a beach break, the beaches of Punta Vagno and Boccadasse are about 2.5-4.3 km away, easily reached by bus or taxi. In summer, the historic center comes alive with evening events in the squares, while in winter the Rolli palaces and museums offer a great cultural alternative for colder days.
