Historic buildings such as Palazzo della Commenda and the Church of San Giovanni di Prè surround the property, both about 50 metres away, evidence of the district’s ancient maritime and religious heritage, now home to bars and trattorias frequented mainly by locals.
Those arriving by train will find Genova Piazza Principe station just 100 metres away, with the Principe metro stop 150 metres away, convenient for reaching the city centre. The ferry port is about 2 km away, while Genoa-Sestri Airport can be reached in a few minutes, 4.7 km from the hotel. The Galata Museo del Mare, dedicated to the city’s naval history, is 250 metres away, and the historic centre can also be reached in about ten minutes on foot.
For leisure, the Aquarium of Genoa, one of the largest in Europe, is less than a 10-minute walk away, while history lovers can head to Porta Soprana, 1.6 km away, or the Palazzo Ducale and Palazzo Rosso complex, both within 1.3 km. In the summer months, the proximity to the sea allows the Boccadasse and Sturla beaches to be reached by car in about ten minutes, while in winter the historic centre, with its narrow alleys and traditional restaurants, remains the favourite destination for evenings out in Genoa.
