La Torretta bed & breakfast is a family-run property in Torriglia, in the Apennine hinterland a short distance from Genoa, with a garden, terrace and mountain view. WiFi is free throughout the property and private parking is included, a welcome advantage for those arriving from further afield who want to move easily around Val Trebbia.
The rooms, all around 10 sqm, share indoor dining and lounge areas, designed for a relaxed stay rather than a quick stopover. Options range from the King Room with balcony, terrace and bathtub, to simpler solutions such as the Double Room with single beds and shared bathroom or the Family Room, also with shared bathroom but featuring a terrace overlooking the garden.
The location is the feature most mentioned by guests, especially couples: Torriglia is about 26 km from the University of Genoa and a short distance from the Portello Pass, an ideal base for those seeking hikes, mountain air and a different pace from the city, without straying too far from the Ligurian coast.
La Torretta bed & breakfast offers three room types, all around 10 sqm and featuring indoor dining and lounge areas, designed for those who want to stay at a relaxed pace rather than simply sleep. The level of privacy varies: the King Room with balcony has a private bathroom with bathtub, while the other two room types share a bathroom with other guests, a typical feature of this kind of family-run bed and breakfast.
The main differences concern outdoor spaces and bed configuration: from the extra-large double bed in the most exclusive room, to the two single beds in the double room, to the large double bed in the family room with terrace. All rooms enjoy a garden view or mountain view, and some open onto a terrace equipped with a barbecue, a detail that makes the stay feel more informal and in touch with the surrounding environment.
The only room with a private bathroom featuring a bathtub, as well as a balcony and terrace with garden and mountain views. It has a dining area and a lounge area, and is the most private option in the property thanks to its dedicated level of privacy.
Designed for two people traveling together who don’t need a double bed, this room has a shared bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries. Unlike the King Room, it has no balcony or private terrace, but it keeps the garden view.
Compared to the double room, this family solution gains a terrace overlooking the garden, while still sharing the bathroom with shower. The large double bed makes it more suited to a couple than to solo travelers.

The area is characterized by woods, meadows and small mountain villages, a rural setting that stands in sharp contrast to the traffic of the Ligurian coast while remaining relatively close to the regional capital.

The Port of Genoa can be reached in about 32 km. For dining out, the restaurant Al Gallo Cedrone is just 850 meters away, while Pizzeria la Scaletta is 4.7 km away.

In the summer months, the mountains offer coolness and quiet compared to the coast, while in autumn and spring the surrounding woods are ideal for walks and more demanding hikes.
