The B&B dell'Acquario occupies an independent section of the Ancient Salt Warehouse of the Republic of Genoa.
The 1600 building, entirely made of exposed stone, is located near the sea walls (Mura di Malapaga) that fortified the Molo Peninsula in the 1200s.
After the war, the ancient Salt Warehouse was transformed, with reinforced concrete interventions and large openings (which are now the windows of the B&B), into an industrial storage space for anchors and marine supplies. In the early 2000s, the Bariletti family renovated the entire building, transforming it into a four-story loft for their own residence and B&B rooms with independent access. Steel, reinforced concrete, and slate were added to the exposed stone walls during the renovation.
The Luzzati Museum is located 50 meters away in the ancient Porta Siberia, and some scenographies by Emanuele Luzzati have been recovered to give a colorful welcome to guests. The rooms are colorful, vibrant, and uniquely styled, with walls made of exposed stone. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a sofa or armchairs, a safe, stone flooring, a wardrobe, a bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer, and toiletries. The rooms also include a refrigerator, an electric kettle, and a coffee machine. Connecting rooms and rooms with a kitchenette are available, all with independent external entrances.
The rich buffet breakfast includes cheese, honey, jams, yogurt, Ligurian cookies, croissants, fruit juices, fresh fruit and cereals. It is prepared directly in the room and available 24/7. The private parking lot (22€ for 24 hours) is located 20meters away.

Conditions
Area Acquario
Boats depart from the Molo for tours of the port of Genoa, Portovenere and the Cinque Terre, Camogli, Portofino, San Fruttuoso (FAI), and for whale watching in the Ligurian Sea. The NaveBus (€1.50) also departs, which travels the entire port and reaches the beach of Pegli.
The entire historic center of Genoa surrounds the B&B dell'Acquario and the main monuments are within a radius of 1000 meters, all in the same pedestrian area: the museums of Via Garibaldi, Via del Campo and the house of the Genoese songwriters, the house of Christopher Columbus, Palazzo Ducale, the gates of the medieval city, the cathedral of San Lorenzo, and the dozens of Romanesque and Baroque churches. All the alleys radiate from the port and gently climb towards the commercial streets. Even Piazza De Ferrari, the center of the city, is only 800 m from the B&B dell'Acquario.
The San Giorgio Metro station, which connects the two train stations of Genoa Principe and Brignole, is 300 meters away.
The B&B dell'Acquario is served by the bus terminus of Piazza Cavour/Piazza Caricamento (300 m) and the bus stop 12/13 (100 m).
The B&B dell'Acquario is located at the Cavour exit of the elevated road; you can arrive by car directly from the highway (Genova Ovest), bypassing city traffic.
The Molo peninsula is very quiet and peaceful.
There are numerous restaurants and typical trattorias: from the Antica Osteria di Vico Palla, next to the B&B, to the panoramic restaurant of Eataly.
For meals, the B&B dell'Acquario has an agreement with the famous Antica Osteria di Vico Palla, but at noon, you can also have lunch with the workers from the nearby shipyards for 10 or 12€ at the trattoria "Il Leudo".
The entire area of the old port of Genoa has been transformed by architect Renzo Piano into a lively center of tourist and cultural attraction.
We are surrounded by the boats of the Marina Molo Vecchio, with 160 boat moorings from 6 to 90 meters, and by the Marina Porto Antico, with 270 boat moorings from 10 to 65 meters.

What guests say
Reviews consistently highlight the property's excellent location, close to the Aquarium, harbor, and historic center, making it perfect for exploring Genoa on foot. Guests praise the friendliness, helpfulness, and professionalism of the hosts, with families noting special attention for children. Rooms and apartments are described as clean, spacious, modern or tastefully decorated, and the breakfast is generous and appreciated overall. Minor drawbacks mentioned include limited variety or freshness of breakfast items, small details in bathrooms, or the challenge of navigating narrow streets by car. Overall, the accommodation offers great value for money and comes highly recommended for both leisure and business stays.
