Suite degli Archi – Luxury Suites fronte Acquario is an upscale guest house in the historic centre of Genoa, just 300 metres from the Genoa Aquarium and 400 metres from the central Piazza San Lorenzo.
The property offers three modern-style studio apartments, each with a private kitchen, bathroom with shower and toiletries, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a coffee machine. The upper rooms offer views over the sea and the rooftops of the old town, while the largest room type opens onto a quiet inner courtyard. Check-in and check-out are organized privately and express, with daily housekeeping.
Vico Giannini is a short walk from the San Giorgio and Darsena metro stations, from the main Rolli palaces such as Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Doria Tursi, and just a few hundred metres from typical Genoese bars, fried-food kiosks and trattorias. It is a suitable option for couples and travellers seeking independent living in the heart of the old town, without giving up high-end finishes and a location that guests rate 9.4 for romantic getaways.
Suite degli Archi offers three studio apartments of similar layout, designed for couples wishing to stay independently in the heart of Genoa. All units feature a private kitchen complete with hob, refrigerator, utensils and microwave oven, a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with cable channels and streaming services, minibar and coffee machine.
The main difference lies in the size, ranging from 28 to 33 square metres, and the exposure: the Queen Studio and the King Deluxe Studio look out over the sea, the rooftops of the old town and the main monuments, while the King Studio, the largest in the property, overlooks a quiet inner courtyard and has a separate dining area.
The Queen Studio is the most compact room type at Suite degli Archi, with 28 square metres furnished with a large double bed. The room enjoys a triple exposure, with views of the sea, the rooftops of the old town and some of the surrounding historic monuments. It features a private kitchen, a bathroom with shower and bidet, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with streaming services.
Slightly larger than the Queen Studio, the King Deluxe Studio measures 29 square metres and offers the flexibility of a large double bed or two single beds, also ideal for those travelling with a friend. Like the base room type, it enjoys sea and city views, but stands out for its soundproofed walls, which ensure greater peace and quiet.
The King Studio is the most spacious option in the property, with 33 square metres and the choice between a large double bed or two single beds. Unlike the other two room types, it does not overlook the sea but a quiet inner courtyard, and it is the only one with a separate dining area dedicated to meals.
Suite degli Archi offers guests a private and express check-in and check-out service, as well as daily cleaning of the suites. The property, entirely non-smoking, is equipped with an elevator, heating and air conditioning, with some soundproofed rooms and solutions also designed for families.
Each studio is a truly independent living unit: a kitchen with hob, refrigerator, kettle and utensils, a dining area, and a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. There is also a technological side, with flat-screen TV, cable channels and streaming services such as Netflix, as well as free WiFi available throughout the property.
For security, there are CCTV cameras in the common and outdoor areas, a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector, while parking is available on the street in the surrounding area.
Vico Giannini is located in the heart of Genoa’s historic centre, among the caruggi alleys that weave together just steps from the old harbour and the Aquarium, one of the largest medieval districts in Europe. The area, alive with shops, fried-food kiosks and typical eateries, preserves 16th-century noble palaces such as Palazzo Doria Tursi and Palazzo Rosso, both part of the UNESCO World Heritage Rolli circuit of Genoa.
The property is about 300 metres from the Genoa Aquarium, 400 metres from Piazza San Lorenzo with its cathedral, and 500 metres from Palazzo Ducale. The San Giorgio and Darsena metro stations are about 200-250 metres away, convenient for reaching the train station and the Boccadasse district within minutes. Genoa-Sestri Airport can be reached in about 15 minutes by car, just over 5 km away.
Guests staying here can dedicate a day to the Old Harbour and the Aquarium, the largest in Italy, or stroll among the Rolli palaces along Via Garibaldi. In summer, the beaches of Boccadasse and Vernazzola, about 4-5 km away, are a convenient destination for an afternoon swim, while in winter the historic centre is ideal for visiting the Strada Nuova museums and discovering the nightlife of the caruggi, among bars and trattorias open until late in the evening.
