Il Borgo di Genova

françois rated this property but he didn't leave any comment

You really don't need to look further than this great B&B for somewhere to stay in Genova. We stayed here for a week during August 2013. The rooms are comfortable, a good size, spotlessly clean, thoughtfully and simply decorated with modern ensuites inc. soft towels, quiet air-con (you'll be thankful in summer), kettle, tv, etc. It really is a B&B with the sensibilities and style of a boutique hotel..and all at a very good price. Il Borgo di Genova is just 3 minutes stroll to Brignole station, yet on a pedestrian only street that's quiet and safe. So ideally situated for exploring the city and the italian riviera as well as restful sleep at night! The station is also just 20-25 minutes from the airport by coach - almost an introductory mini-city-tour when you arrive! - and it has the metro to get you swiftly across town, if needed. But it's a pleasant and easy walk from this B&B to the bewitching old town and most of the sites, eateries & shopping spots of Genova. You'll not want to rush out of the B&B though due to the marvellous conviviality of Alessandra and Giovanni and their lovely breakfasts: fruit, yogurt, cereals and snacks, eggs on request, superb proper coffee, home-made focaccia or a similarly gorgeous homemade cake or treat. It all makes for a perfect start to your day. However, it's really the friendliness, helpfulness and humour of Giovanni and Alessandra that really makes Il Borgo di Genova one of a kind. Their website gives you plenty of ideas for planning your visit before you arrive and this local insight, help & advice continues during your stay (plus a good city map that Giovanni can mark up with places to see, eat, drink, explore or relax depending on your preferences). The difference of having a true resident of Genova advise of places rather than a guidebook is invaluable. Whether you're there for a day or two or a week – for pleasure or business – this really is the ideal place to stay.

Alessandra and Giovanni are.. a treasure. As is their lovely, recently renovated old home in Genova. I had the pleasure to be there for two full weeks, and had the honor over this time of getting to know the couple personally. They are very generous, open, personable, warm, and generally fabulous people and these many positive qualities shine through in their work, pride, and joy - il Borgo di Genova. The place is charming, and spotless. You could eat off the beautifully tiled bathroom floors. You think I'm exaggerating. But I'm not! It is clear that Alessandra and Giovanni care deeply about the comfort of their guests, and have gone out of their way to create an inviting environment that you can call home over the duration of your stay. I felt at home, instantly. Both because the house and my room was so cute, but also because Alessandra and Giovanni made me feel at home. After all, this is where they live, too. Just upstairs. Favorite aspects of my stay.. * Chatting with both Alessandra and Giovanni, over breakfast, and with the other guests. * Homemade cake in the morning from Alessandra - Yes! She makes the cake herself.* The fantastic rain shower in my private bathroom. Great water pressure is always welcome! * Charming interior design details throughout the house and in my room - the floor tiles, the toile bedding and accents, the geraniums outside my bathroom window and the ivy outside my bedroom window, the high ceilings and ceiling fan. * The 5-minute-or-less proximity to the Genova Brignole train station and bus terminal. This was just wonderful. I was able to do so many day trips from the B&B - leaving early in the morning and returning late in the evening, if I chose. * Reliable WiFi! Was great. I could easily check my email, train schedules, the weather - anything - with my iPod or laptop from the comfort of my room or anywhere in or just outside the building. I also appreciated the hot water kettle and tea service in my room. Boy did that ever come in handy as I was down at the B&B nearly the entire second week of my stay with a terrible cold. But with tea in my room and the help of Alessandra and Giovanni to get the right meds from the chemist, I was fine. Their assistance, warmth, and friendship during this week at the B&B made the trip amazing, while that week could easily have been just the opposite. Who wants to spend a week in enchanting Liguria on vacation, sick at a hotel? Well, I tell you this - if you must get sick on vacation, consider yourself blessed to find yourself confined to il Borgo di Genova. I know I did. Liguria is one of my favorite regions in Italy, a place I plan on returning to many times. And there is no question now as to where I will stay when I want the perfect home base from which to explore Genova and the surrounding area - you'll find me at il Borgo di Genova. Without question.

On a beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse du propriétaire la chambre était très bien ainsi que la situation du B&B dommage nous n'avons pas eu de petits déjeuners nous y retourerons prochainement.

Nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse par Alessandra et nous avons apprécié la conversation de Giovanni au petit-déjeuner. Tous les deux parlent français et n'ont pas ménagé leurs efforts pour nous rendre service, que ce soit pour garer la voiture ou nous donner des conseils de visite. Ce Bed & Breakfast est bien situé, près de la gare et du métro de Brignole qui donnent accès à tous les sites intéressants de Gênes et des environs. L'endroit est très calme et notre chambre sous les toits était agréable, avec une excellente literie, décorée avec goût. C'est une adresse à recommander pour séjourner à Gênes. Si nous devons y retourner, c'est sans hésiter Il Borgo di Genova que nous choisirons à nouveau.

Passage en juin 2015. Giovani nous a très bien accueilli et nous a aidé à visiter la ville. Dès notre arrivé il nous a remis une carte de Gênes sur laquelle il nous a mis de précieuses indications (restaurants, lieux à visiter, place typique pour prendre un verre. La chambre est très propre et charmante. Séjour très agréable. Nous recommandons chaudement.

Ce B&B, bien situé non loin du centre de Gênes, est tout à fait charmant, très bien tenu, et les petits déjeuners y sont délicieux (avec des pâtisseries maison). Il faut surtout évoquer la gentillesse attentionnée du jeune couple qui le tient, soucieux du bon déroulement du séjour de ses clients.

Ho soggiornato piacevolmente. La struttura si trova alle spalle della stazione Genova Brignole e rimane comodissima per muoversi. È sita in una strada pedonale silenziosa. È una vera chicca ed anche il titolare si è dimostrato sempre cordiale e disponibile. Tornerò di sicuro.

Più che soddisfatto. Da ritornarci assolutamente.

Ho trovato in primis una cordialità da parte del proprietario, signor Giovanni, che di questi tempi non è facile da trovare. Il posto è un chicco: eleganza, raffinatezza, pulizia. Zona vicinissima alla stazione e alla metro. Da riprovare sicuramente.

Tutto davvero ottimo. Ho soggiornato per due notti con mia moglie e mio figlio in una spaziosa stanza tripla, luminosa e pulitissima. I proprietari della struttura sono davvero quanto di meglio si possa incontrare: gentilissimi e disponibilissimi. La posizione è ottima poiché centrale e vicinissima alla stazione/metro di Genova Brignole, nonché vicina a più di un ottimo ristorante.

I proprietari sono gentilissimi e molto disponibili per qualsiasi tipo di richiesta o chiarimento, ci hanno subito dato una cartina delle città e ci hanno spiegato come arrivare in centro, insieme a consigli su itinerari e riguardo posti dove fermarci a mangiare le tipicità genovesi. Le camere sono pulitissime ed il servizio in generale è davvero ottimo, la colazione squisita e abbondante con dolci fatti in casa.

Bellissimo! Siamo stati due notti in questo B&B a due passi dai musei. Prima colazione ricca e golosissima con i cupcake e la torta al cioccolato fatti in casa proprio da Alessandra, ottima cuoca. Pulizia perfetta e atmosfera di casa grazie alla gentilezza e alla simpatia di Alessandra e Giovanni. La tipica casa ligure è stata ristrutturata con cura mantenendo materiali e dettagli originali, come le porte antiche. Abbiamo vissuto un vero weekend di atmosfera ligure original. Lo consigliamo!
