In the heart of Genoa, Il Ciottolo reveals itself as a welcoming refuge where Genoese tradition meets the warmth of a home. This bed and breakfast, managed by Manuela, offers a family-friendly and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for those looking for an alternative to the anonymous spaces of commercial accommodations. The rooms, carefully furnished, combine modern comforts with authentic details such as mosaic floors and stucco ceilings, creating an environment that invites you to feel at home immediately.

The breakfast offering is a sensory journey that satisfies every palate. Guests can enjoy coffee brewed with the traditional moca, various types of tea, typical pastries, and other small delights, allowing everyone to start their day as they please, without schedules and conventions. Serenity is an added value, with common areas dedicated to relaxation and reading, stocked with a curated library.

The rooms, two doubles and one single, overlook a charming garden, where the blue of the sea merges with the greenery of the surrounding vegetation. Sharing a spacious and bright bathroom among guests serves as an additional invitation to socialize in an informal but respectful environment. Located in a creuza, a typical pedestrian street, Il Ciottolo offers the chance to explore an ancient village rich in artisan shops and local spots where one can savor Genoese life.

The strategic location allows for easy access to the city center, with the historic Piazza De Ferrari and its wonders just ten minutes away on foot. For the more adventurous, the area also offers appealing alternatives such as the Sant'Anna funicular and the panoramic elevator of Spianata Castelletto. Proximity to cultural and gastronomic points of interest, such as Castello d'Albertis and the historic pastry shop Magenta, further enriches the experience.

Il Ciottolo is not just a place to stay, but an experience that tells of travels and stories, with the promise of making every guest feel part of a large family. Here, even Attila, the house cat, joins in the warmth of welcome, making every stay a moment of serenity and discovery in the pulsing heart of Liguria.

Stepping into the B&B Il Ciottolo means being welcomed with warmth and joy by the radiant Manuela, her wonderful creature, and a very nice little cat. Meeting capable of making the heaviness of a long and difficult day disappear in an instant. The B&B is located in a historic building in a panoramic area of the city, safe and very close to the center. Both the rooms and the common areas are comfortable, clean, and well-kept, and every detail is arranged in such a way that the guest feels comfortable at all times. What can I say, I wouldn't change a comma at Il Ciottolo, so congratulations and THANK YOU Manuela!

Cara Sara grazie di cuore! Anche Sara è un ospite meraviglioso e piacevole, molto discreto e attento. La piacevole chiacchierata e i consigli per i viaggi futuri. Grazie e spero a presto nelle tue montagne. Manuela, Isabella e Gigi.
