Botafogo is a bed and breakfast in Chiavari, Liguria, about 550 metres from the town beach and 700 metres from the railway station.
The property offers air-conditioned rooms with independent entrance, designed for those seeking a simple and informal stay close to the sea. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, courtesy set and hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV and tiled flooring. The common areas include a garden for relaxing and an on-site bar, while guests who want to move around independently can make use of the bicycle rental service offered by the property.
Botafogo is a practical choice for families and couples: pets are welcome at no extra charge and there is no minimum age requirement to stay at the B&B. The location, particularly appreciated by couples with a score of 8.8, allows guests to reach bars, restaurants and the seafront promenade on foot, while remaining close to rail connections to the rest of the Levante riviera.
Botafogo offers two room types, both air-conditioned and with independent entrance, a practical solution for those who prefer to come and go without passing through shared common areas. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, courtesy set and hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV and tiled flooring, elements that ensure a functional stay even for short periods.
The main difference between the two accommodations concerns the bed configuration: the Double Room is designed for couples, with an extra-large double bed, while the Twin Room, fitted with two separate beds, is better suited to those travelling with company or who prefer not to share the same bed. Both rooms accommodate a maximum of two people, keeping the spaces compact but sufficient for a short or medium stay close to the sea.
Designed for couples, this room features an extra-large double bed and an independent entrance, convenient for flexible arrival and departure times. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet, courtesy set and hairdryer, while the wardrobe and tiled flooring complete a simple and functional environment, air-conditioned for the warmer months.
Unlike the Double Room, this accommodation is fitted with two separate single beds, ideal for friends or relatives travelling together who prefer not to share the same bed. Here too the entrance is independent and the private bathroom is equipped with a shower and hairdryer, in an air-conditioned and tidy environment.
Botafogo offers guests a garden to spend time outdoors and an on-site bar for a break at any time of day. The bicycle rental service allows guests to move easily towards the centre of Chiavari or along the coast, without having to rely on a car.
All rooms are air-conditioned, with independent entrance and a private bathroom complete with shower, toilet, bidet, courtesy set and hairdryer. Free WiFi covers the entire property, while a flat-screen TV is present in every room along with the possibility of an internet connection.
Botafogo is an entirely non-smoking property, with rooms also suitable for families, and offers free private parking on site: a useful detail for those arriving by car who don’t want to give up convenience during their stay on the riviera.
Botafogo is located in the heart of Chiavari, a short distance from the seafront and the network of streets that make up the town’s historic centre, known for its arcades and colourful facades typical of the Levante riviera. The neighbourhood is residential and lively, with bars, cafés such as Snaporaz Caffè and Fratelli Sabanelli, and small restaurants within a few minutes’ walk, including the Botafogo+ restaurant right next to the property.
Chiavari beach is about 550 metres away, while Chiavari railway station is 700 metres away and connects the town with Genoa and the rest of the riviera in just a few minutes by train.

In summer the coast is well suited to swimming and walks along the beaches of Lavagna and Zoagli, a little further away, while for those who love hiking, the Punta Manara promontory, about 9 km away, offers scenic trails through Mediterranean scrub and sea views, also ideal in the shoulder seasons for trekking.
