This lovingly cared-for, well-equipped place at a bargain price has rooms spread over the two top floors of an old palazzo. Top-floor rooms have pretty mansard ceilings and one a tiny terrace with spectacular port and city views (along with the Genovese soundtrack of crosstown traffic). There are also generous lounge and breakfast areas.
