Bluripa Guest House is a guest house located in the historic centre of Genoa, just a few steps from the Old Port and the Rolli palaces of Via Garibaldi. The property occupies a period building in the caruggi, among alleys, shops and glimpses of the sea that characterise this part of the old town.
The six room types range from the most compact double with a sea-view balcony to the studio with a full kitchenette, along with family and triple solutions designed for stays with children or small groups. All units are air-conditioned and feature a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar and a private bathroom with toiletries; some overlook the sea from balconies and terraces, while others offer views over the rooftops and historic buildings of the neighbourhood.
Common facilities include a lounge with a TV area, a sun terrace, daily housekeeping and free WiFi throughout the property. The location, right next to the Aquarium of Genoa and just a few dozen metres from restaurants and historic eateries, makes Bluripa Guest House a practical base for exploring the centre on foot, with no need for transport to reach the city’s main attractions.
The rooms at Bluripa Guest House share some basic features: air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a minibar, elements that ensure a comfortable stay regardless of the room type chosen. The main differences lie in size, ranging from 16 sqm for the cosiest double rooms to 30 sqm for the most spacious studio, and in the view, which opens onto the sea in several units while in others it frames the rooftops and buildings of the historic centre.
Couples will find the most direct solution in the double rooms with balcony, with access to a small terrace overlooking the sea. Families or small groups can instead choose between the family room, the two triple rooms with alternative bed configurations, or the studio equipped with a full kitchen and dining area, designed for those who want greater independence during their stay.
This 16 sqm double room is one of the two most compact units in the property, designed for couples’ stays. It has a private balcony with sea view and a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the historic centre, as well as a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar and a private bathroom.
At 26 sqm, this is the room designed for families with one child: it combines a double bed and a sofa bed to accommodate up to four people. Here too, the sea view accompanies the stay thanks to the balcony and terrace, while air conditioning keeps the rooms comfortable in every season.
A 20 sqm triple room with two alternative bed configurations, useful for adapting to different group compositions. Unlike the rooms with a balcony, here the view is over the city, and the private bathroom includes a bathtub or shower with a bidet and hairdryer, as well as a safe and wardrobe for storing luggage.
Five square metres larger than the Triple Room Side View, this room stands out for its kitchenette with hob and utensils, allowing guests to prepare meals independently, and for its dedicated dining area. Here too, the view is over the buildings of the historic centre, with a private bathroom and toiletries.
The second twin unit of the double room with balcony, identical in size and features but located in a different part of the building. Here too, couples can count on a balcony and terrace with sea view, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with toiletries.
At 30 sqm, the studio is the most spacious and independent solution in the property: a full kitchen with hob, coffee machine and minibar make it suitable for longer stays. It also has a separate living area, a private bathroom with shower and bidet, and sea views from the main rooms.
Bluripa Guest House offers free WiFi throughout the property, air conditioning in the rooms and common areas that include a lounge with a TV area and a sun terrace overlooking Genoa’s historic centre. Daily housekeeping and express or private check-in and check-out make organising the stay easier, while the in-room safe and key access provide extra peace of mind during the stay.
For dining, guests will find an on-site coffee shop and a minibar in every room, handy for drinks and small snacks without having to go out. The rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and cable channels, while the private bathrooms offer complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer, bidet and bathtub or shower depending on the unit.
The property also has a lift to reach the upper floors, heating for the winter season and fire extinguishers to ensure safety, elements that round out an offer designed for both short stays and longer stays in the heart of Genoa.
Bluripa Guest House is located in the caruggi of Genoa, the maze of medieval alleys that stretches between the Old Port and the Renaissance palaces of Via Garibaldi. The Sottoripa area is one of the oldest in the city, characterised by historic porticoes, artisan workshops and a dense succession of inns and trattorias that keep the streets lively into the evening.
Just 150 metres away is the Aquarium of Genoa, one of the largest in Europe, while Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Doria Tursi, both part of the Rolli circuit, can be reached on foot in about 250 metres. San Giorgio metro station is 150 metres away and Darsena station is 350 metres away, convenient for getting to Piazza De Ferrari or Genova Piazza Principe railway station. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 5 km away, reachable by taxi or surface connections.
From here it is easy to arrange visits to Porta Soprana, 650 metres away, and to Piazza De Ferrari, the beating heart of the city 500 metres away, as well as walks to Castello D’Albertis, just under a kilometre away. In summer the beaches of Boccadasse and Vernazzola, about 4-4.5 km away, offer a seaside alternative half an hour on foot or a few minutes by bus, while in winter the historic centre remains the focus of activities, among museums, historic churches such as San Siro and San Pietro di Banchi, and the covered markets of Sottoripa.
