Guesthouse Contrada Bolla is a bed and breakfast in Finale Ligure, Liguria, set among the greenery of the hills with views of the surrounding mountains and just a few kilometres from the beach. The property provides guests with free bicycles, a garden and several terraces from which to enjoy the view, making it particularly well suited to those who love cycling tourism and excursions into the Finale hinterland.
The two types of accommodation available, a double/twin room and an apartment with garden view, both offer a private bathroom and their own outdoor spaces, differing in size and amenities: the room is more compact and designed for two or three people, while the apartment, with a kitchen and separate living area, is better suited to longer stays or families.
WiFi and private parking are free, and breakfast is also available with continental, Italian, vegetarian and vegan options. The hillside location makes it possible to reach the centre of Finale Ligure, the beaches, the trails of the Finale area and nearby villages within minutes, making the property a versatile base for both the seaside and outdoor sports activities.
Guesthouse Contrada Bolla offers two accommodation options designed for different needs, both with a private bathroom and access to shared outdoor spaces such as the garden and terraces. The first is a double/twin room with single beds, featuring an independent entrance, private patio, balcony with mountain views and a coffee machine, ideal for two or three people looking for a simple yet well-equipped stay.
The second option is an apartment with garden view, larger and more articulated: it includes a separate living area, a bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen with hob, fridge, oven and utensils, designed for those seeking greater independence or staying with family, up to four people. Both options share the same attention to detail, with bed linen, hairdryer and cleaning products provided, as well as the option of having breakfast directly in the room.
This 30 sqm room features an independent entrance, a private patio and a balcony with views of the surrounding mountains. It is the only one of the two room types to offer a flexible layout with a single bed and a French double bed, suitable for both couples and small groups of up to three people. The private bathroom comes complete with a shower, while the in-room coffee machine allows guests to prepare a hot drink without having to go out.
At 50 sqm, this apartment is the largest option in the property and the only one to offer a fully equipped kitchen with hob, oven, fridge and utensils, as well as a living area separate from the bedroom. The view opens onto the garden rather than the mountains, and the bed layout, two singles plus a large double, makes it suitable for families or small groups of up to four guests.
Guesthouse Contrada Bolla provides guests with well-kept outdoor spaces, including a garden, terrace and outdoor dining area with outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying the Ligurian climate. Those who like to get around independently can rely on bicycle rental, bike and walking tours organised by the property, as well as excursions and hiking in the Finale hinterland.
The property also offers services designed for guests’ privacy and convenience, such as private check-in and check-out, an independent entrance and luggage storage, useful for those arriving or departing outside standard hours. An airport shuttle is available on request, along with a babysitting service for families with children.
Each accommodation has a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries, while those staying in the apartment can rely on a fully equipped kitchen. Heating is available throughout the property, and family rooms are also available.
Contrada Bolla is located in the hilly hinterland of Finale Ligure, among olive groves and Mediterranean scrub, in a rural area offering views of the mountains and the protected Finale area, internationally famous for climbing and mountain biking. The character of the area is quiet and residential, away from coastal traffic yet still close to town amenities.
The nearest sea, Finale Ligure Beach, is about 2.5 km away, while Finale Ligure Marina railway station is 2.2 km away, convenient for those travelling by train along the Riviera. For dining out, Trattoria au Quarte is just 900 metres away and Antica Osteria 550 metres away, both within walking distance of the property. Those arriving by air can refer to Riviera Airport, 21 km away, or Genoa-Sestri Airport, further away but reachable via shuttle that can be arranged on request.
The location is well suited to active tourism all year round: in spring and autumn, the walks to the Oratorio di Santa Caterina, 1.1 km away, or the strolls through the Cavernone di Monte Cucco, 3.4 km away, are ideal and popular among trekking and light caving enthusiasts. In summer, beach life prevails along the coast of Finale Ligure and Borgio Verezzi, while cycling enthusiasts find one of Italy’s best-known networks of trails in the area, with bike rental available directly at the property.
