The location is perfect: just a few streets away from the port in a tangle of little alleys – sharing its tiny piazza with Palazzo Spinola, one of the city's most beautiful palaces. Very obvious prostitutes even in broad daylight, but the atmosphere is completely unthreatening. The B&B is a super modern apartment at the top of four flights of... More

Excellent location for visiting all areas of the city. The b&b has been renovated to a very high standard. The rooms are lovely, and clean and modern. The breakfasts as sumptuous and Emi who runs it is absolutely delightful. Not one for the unfit as it's up 4 flights of stairs, but it's a real hidden gem.

The rooms are on the top floor of a XVll century palace, in the heart of the old town. The beds are big, rooms are super comfortable and beautifully decorated, breakfeast is great...planned on staying only one night, but decided to stay for a second night, as it is absolutely worth it.

I was very impressed with the attention to detail in this place. Beautifully designed, clean and with everything you could possibly need. The hostess was extremely helpful too so do ask her to recommend places to eat and visit. Would love to go back there in summer and make full use of the rooftop terrace.

The B&B Quartopiano (which means 4th floor) is a gorgeous B&B in the middle of Genova's narrow streets. Yes, you must climb the stairs up to the 4th floor, but the B&B is at the top floor of a converted palace and well worth the journey. The rooms are very modern complete with a small fridge and jug of cold... More

The quarto piano B&B is not only a cozy and high designs place to stay, it's a corner of paradise in the heart of Genova!! The rooftop with the jacuzzi is GREAT! especially after a long day of work! Emi is the best host ever!! Ask her for the restaurant in the area! I had an amazing time there! Enjoy... More

I stayed at B&B Quartopiano for a couple of nights on my own, and thought I had discovered a jewel in the middle of Genova's old quarter. It's a world away from the bustle of the city, like you've stepped back in time. The rooms are beautifully appointed with chic clean NY Soho style, it's quiet, and within walking distance... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights around Easter this year, and while we loved the stylish common lounge area of this B&B (and our guest room was also stylish and clean), it was a seriously long climb up to the fourth floor (it's more like seven flights of stairs bc of how high the ceilings are on each...

We have the great fortune to organize family vacations around my husband's medical-academic teaching in Europe. We have stayed in many kinds of lodging and know Italy very well. B&B Quarto Piano is a cross between a Starck-esque design hotel and the traditional B&B, where one stayed in rooms of a person's large house. We spent 3 days there and... More
