Ulivo House is a guest house in Genoa, Liguria, located in a residential area about 11 km from the historic centre and the city’s main museums. The property focuses on an intimate atmosphere, with non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and an on-site bar where guests can stop for a break.
The two available rooms are both 20 m², equipped with a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a desk; one of the two room types also includes an additional sofa bed for a third person, while the other stands out for its balcony. All rooms are fitted with a safe, a useful detail for those travelling with valuables.
In the morning guests can enjoy an Italian breakfast, a good starting point for days spent exploring Genoa. The location, somewhat distant from the tourist heart but well connected, is suited to those seeking a quieter stay compared to the city centre, perhaps paired with a car to travel comfortably towards the port, the aquarium and the historic palaces of the centre.
Ulivo House offers two room types, both 20 m², designed to provide an essential yet comfortable stay. They share a private bathroom with toiletries and bidet, air conditioning, flat-screen TV with streaming services, soundproofing and a safe: a good set of amenities for those seeking practicality without too many frills.
The main difference between the two options concerns the bed arrangement and a few distinctive details. One room is designed to accommodate up to three people thanks to the extra-large double bed combined with a sofa bed, making it the most suitable choice for small groups or families. The other, more oriented towards couples, features a large double bed and a private balcony, a plus for those who want an outdoor view even in a property of this modest size.
