Hotel Le Nuvole Residenza d’Epoca is a 3-star hotel in the historic heart of Genoa, a few metres from the Church of Santa Maria delle Vigne and a 5-minute walk from the Aquarium and the Porto Antico.
The rooms, furnished in a modern style with designer furniture and parquet floors, are all air-conditioned and equipped with a flat-screen TV, private bathroom and free WiFi connection.
