Residenza Villa Genua is a family-run guest house located in Bordighera, Liguria, about 1.5 km from the beach and featuring a private garden and free parking.
The property offers five room types, all air-conditioned, with views of the mountains and the surrounding garden, private bathroom with bidet and hair dryer, sitting area and free WiFi. Some rooms have their own terrace, others a full kitchen with dishwasher and coffee machine, ideal for longer stays or families. Every room includes bed linen and towels, while breakfast, buffet or continental, is served every morning.
The location makes it easy to reach both the centre of Bordighera and the beaches of the Riviera dei Fiori, while still keeping a quiet, residential feel, underlined by a night-time quiet period between 10pm and 7am. It is a good choice for anyone looking for a larger, more independent space than a traditional hotel, without giving up amenities such as private parking and a garden.
The five rooms at Residenza Villa Genua share some basic features: air conditioning, private bathroom, soundproofing and views of the garden or the surrounding mountains. The Double Room, at 30 sqm, sleeps up to three people thanks to a sofa bed added to the two single beds, while the three variants named Double Room with Terrace differ in size, amenities and private outdoor space.
The most compact measures 25 sqm and is designed for two guests, with a walk-in shower and a terrace overlooking the garden; the other two, both larger, add a full kitchen with dishwasher and coffee machine, up to the 43 sqm of the most spacious option. All rooms include bed linen, towels and a minibar, with options suited to couples as well as small groups or families looking for greater independence.
A 30 sqm room with a private entrance and views of the garden and surrounding mountains. It is the only room in the property without its own terrace, made up for by a large minibar and soundproofed walls that ensure privacy and quiet. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet and hair dryer, while the sitting area and the two single beds with sofa bed also make it suitable for small groups of up to three people.
This is the most compact room in the property, designed for two guests and featuring a private entrance and a terrace overlooking the garden, which the standard Double Room lacks. The private bathroom has a walk-in shower, a distinctive feature compared to the other rooms with a terrace. Air conditioning and soundproofing complete an essential yet independent option, ideal for a couple looking for a private space.
Compared to the 25 sqm Double Room with Terrace, this version offers 5 sqm more and an additional sofa bed that allows it to sleep up to three people. Independent entrance, terrace with garden view and private bathroom with walk-in shower remain unchanged, but the larger space makes it preferable for those travelling with a child or an extra travel companion.
At 43 sqm, this is the most spacious option at Residenza Villa Genua and, along with the next one, the only room with a full kitchen featuring a dishwasher, refrigerator and coffee machine, as well as a stovetop and microwave. The terrace overlooks the garden, the private bathroom has a walk-in shower and the entrance is independent. A practical choice for longer stays or for those who want to cook on their own.
Similar to the 43 sqm version thanks to the full kitchen with dishwasher and coffee machine, this room is however more compact, designed for two guests and features a traditional shower instead of a walk-in shower. Terrace with garden view, private entrance and air conditioning still make it one of the most versatile options for those who want to cook without giving up a cosy space.
Residenza Villa Genua is built around a private garden with a sun terrace and outdoor furniture, shared spaces that complement the private terraces of some rooms. Parking is free and reserved for guests, while the independent entrance and private check-in allow for private stays even for those arriving in the evening, provided the arrival time is communicated in advance.
General amenities include heating, air conditioning, soundproofing, a lift for the upper floors and luggage storage, useful for those departing or arriving before standard check-in and check-out times. A car rental service is also available on request, along with an in-house safe.
On the dining side, besides buffet or continental breakfast, the property offers menus for special diets on request, a children’s buffet, the possibility of breakfast in the room, and a kettle or coffee machine. Internet access is free throughout the property.
Residenza Villa Genua is located on Via Pasteur, in a residential area of Bordighera dominated by gardens and early 20th-century villas, away from the traffic of the seafront but still close to the city’s amenities. The neighbourhood retains a quiet character, suited to those looking for a restful stay without giving up proximity to the sea and the historic centre of the city of palm trees.
Bordighera beach is about 1.2 km away, reachable on foot in a few minutes, while Bordighera railway station is 1.5 km away and connects the Riviera dei Fiori towards Sanremo and Ventimiglia. By car, the border with France and Menton are about 20 minutes away, and Monaco’s heliport is just over 20 km away. Nearby there are plenty of bars and restaurants, such as Ristorante da Erio, less than a kilometre away, and several trattorias in the historic centre.
Guests staying at Villa Genua can spend half a day at the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, about 8 km away, one of the most important historic gardens on the Ligurian Riviera, or head towards Sanremo to visit the Cathedral of San Siro and the Fort of Santa Tecla, both about 10 km away. In summer the area is popular for its beaches and seafront walks, while in winter the mild climate of Bordighera, historically appreciated by the English community in the late 19th century, makes it a pleasant destination even off-season, with the nearby Argentina Valley and the Ligurian hinterland within easy reach for a day trip.
