Fantastic host, speaks several languages, beautiful location and accommodations. You will love it…read more Cookies, nuts out for snacking and the host will prepare a great breakfast for you. I told him we just needed tea & coffee and before we were done we had much more. Omlette seasoned with basil and made with farm fresh eggs, a selection of excellent salamis from the region, juice, yogurt, etc. And as I have found everywhere in Italy some great coffee.

Olympia Hotel is on one of the main shopping roads in Genova, so all the shops are very near. Also…read moreone of the main squares (Piazza Ferrari) is on walking distance, making a very good starting point for your stay in this crazy city. The hotel is situated in a typical Italian style building, with lots of other businesses inside. On the 4th. floor they occupy half the floor. They have 9 rooms, all very simple but sufficient. There is no airco, so be careful if you there in the summer (like we did!) and the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius. It's hot! The busy street is not really a problem, since a lot of the rooms are in a area that is more quiet. Ask for a room in the back and you'll be fine. The owner Augustino and his daughter Rebecca are just wonderful; friendly and very helpful. Augustino speaks a little French and Rebecca speaks German and English. All in all good value for money, the rooms are clean and spacious enough, the beds are good and the service more than good. Big plus: you can park the car in the garage of the shopping mall COIN opposite the hotel for no extra charge if you're a guest of the hotel. And that's a big plus in a city as dense and hectic as Genova! (For some reason the marker on the map for the address shows up further down the road, but it is directly opposite the COIN shopping mall)

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are traveling through this area. The apartment is very…read moreclean and can comfortably accommodate 3 people. There's a kitchen, living area, bathroom with a shower stall and a large, beautiful terrace to enjoy. La Ferla has a convenient parking lot for your vehicle and is just a couple of km from the Autostrada exit. And if you're hungry and are looking for a great place to eat, look no further than their restaurant at night. They offer a prix fixe menu that changes daily and the food is really good. You won't be disappointed with the quality or the quantity. They give you a lot to eat for the price, which only excludes wine (and maybe soda). The owners are always on hand working in the kitchen or taking care of the well manicured grounds. They're very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here. I didn't give it a five-star rating only because I would reserve that for a full service hotel. But for the type of place, this place is tops!

It's pretty exhausting to get up and down to the beach from the camping but there is a free bus going once in a while. But it's really a beautiful view from up here so I give the place some cred for that.

We were so excited of returning to this restaurant after a long wait due to the pandemic, and we…read morecould not be more disappointed. The food was good but definitely not worth the drive and the money. The prices went up quite a bit in conjunction with a drastic reduction of the portions. The appetizers instead of being served one by one they now come in a single plate: 5 tiny appetizers. One of the person at the table told the waiter he was allergic to one of this five items and the waiter did not offer something alternative. The pasta dishes were good but again served already as individual very small portions. The prices were extremely high, 14 euros for those 5 appetizers, 9-12 for the pasta dishes and 44 for the desserts. The final straw however for us was that one of us asked for a "caffè corretto" and the waiter offered to bring the liquors on the table. One person added a drop in the coffee and we were charged 6 euros for that. Honestly no restaurants of this type charge for the liquors at the end. We are old customers going regularly compatibly with the fact we live far away and we expected more. The changes to the service, the reduced portions and the the higher prices were quite unwelcome. Time for us to explore other venues!

Yes, this place really is As good as it gets! We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at this restaurant…read moresituated on top of a mountain in the middle of Piedmont with gorgeous views and delicious home-made food! The restaurant has no menu since everything is made fresh... We were not familiar with 'typical' Piedmont cuisine so the owner brought us an appetizer medley with Cotechino, Red Peppers, and other goodies that I dont remember the name! (all delicious though!). He suggested us a Barbera/Syrah blend which was divine and really cheap (I believe 13 Euros!).. For first course we tried these tiny raviolis which are served on a napkin, tableside with no sauce... We loved them and suggested he should open a kiosk in South Beach and serve them as Popcorn Ravioli... I mean these little things were DELICIOUS!!.. Our second course was a bird called "Faraona" oven-roasted served with a veggie medley from his garden (talk about fresh!)... Everything was excellent and we still had a little room for dessert and we had the BEST tiramisu made with Moscato and served with frozen Moscato grapes... OMG I can still savour it and probably crave tonight... Totally worth it !! We stayed the night at the B&B and was incredibly serene and quiet.. Just what we needed in our short stay!

You reach it by either the Zecca-Righi funiculare at Larga della Zecca, or the unique Art Deco/Nouveau elevator off Piazza del Portello. There are several restaurants, cafes, gelaterie, and a bus stop atop the Belvedere, so you can either take a break up there or jump on one of the buses for a ride around the surrounding neighborhoods, with their beautiful apartment houses and views, or for the "long way" back to LdZ down the hill. There's even a post office if the urge to write home strikes you! Families and kids come to relax here, and it'd be a great place for your own to meet and mingle with some Genovese over a gelato or a cool drink on a warm afternoon high above the noise and bustle of the city below.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 - - due to super friendly staff…read more I've read other reviews online which were rather unfavorable... however I had a comfortable time here, and it served my needs rather well. This is an airport hotel; so it was a very short walk for me with my luggage after arriving at the airport. No need for a taxi -- very short walk couple block walk. Front desk was very friendly and efficient. One front desk member suggested a restaurant in the Centro Storico part which was very good; and he also offered taking the complimentary hotel shuttle to Centro Storico (downtown). That was nice and unexpected - - i thought that I may have to take the train downtown, but a free shuttle was even better! As a Platinum SPG member, i was upgraded to a nice Junior Suite room. Nothing too fancy, but from looking at the map on the back of the hotel room door - - this was the largest room on the floor that I was on. As reviewers on other sites have mentioned, the decor is a bit dated -- so I knew what to expect up front. I couldn't figure out exactly how to control the room temperature - - it seemed like it was always warm. And when I tried to cool it, I think it only got warmer. So i "think" I turned the fan off. Internet speed...so-so. Not the fastest internet, nor the most reliable.... but again, as a Platinum guest it's always nice to have free internet either way. So i can't complain too much there. Smaller and adequate bar downstairs. Friendly service there too - - and love how you get a small smorgasboard of goodies with your drink. I received some chips, olives, and a dish of peanuts. Reading the room service menu, it says that a complimentary continental breakfast is including in the hotel rate w/ a delivery charge of 5EUR per person. I wasn't aware of that either when I was booking the room online, but I think i'll still just go downstairs for the seated breakfast at 6am. Comfortable bed -- friendly service -nice large bathroom with marble floor - very close to the airport, without hearing any airport noise. This property served well it's purpose for me - - a place to rest up before my journey into other parts of Northern Italy.
