Description
Il Ciottolo is a cool solution for those who do not want to go to an aseptic place, but feel immersed in the warmth of a home.

The operators are a young couple that, through travel experiences and long stays abroad, is able to understand the "tourist".

The house, an ancient typical genoense one, grit floored, from sea and “creuze” sight will make you feel straight amongst the notes of De Andrè.

Suggested in Routard Guide!
From the beginning of March the two double rooms will have scaffolding in front of the windows for work on the facade of the building. I apologize for the inconvenience! Check in on appointment

Breakfast
For a gentle awakening, breakfast caters to all tastes: toast with fruit jams, dry biscuits, and croissants.

Coffee in a moka pot or espresso? Don't worry, you can have both.

Are you an Oriental-style person? Many tea specialties are available.

Ovomaltina, Nesquik, and fruit juice not enough for you? Then, in the afternoon, ask Manuela for what you desire.

Good morning!
(By law, the food is pre-packaged).

Hey from Manuela

Member since December 2008 | 78,757 hits
We are a young couple with a passion for travel and photography. However, we are actually a family of three; the third member is Attila, our 7 Kg pink-furred cat, who is now the mascot of Ciottolo.

The management of the property is very free. Of course, all guests must respect the peace and quiet of others. Breakfast is self-service without any specific times. There is a common area where guests can relax and read, as there is a well-stocked library available. So, have a great vacation and enjoy your relaxation!

Stepping into the B&B Il Ciottolo means being welcomed with warmth and joy by the radiant Manuela, her wonderful creature, and a very nice little cat. Meeting capable of making the heaviness of a long and difficult day disappear in an instant. The B&B is located in a historic building in a panoramic area of the city, safe and very close to the center. Both the rooms and the common areas are comfortable, clean, and well-kept, and every detail is arranged in such a way that the guest feels comfortable at all times. What can I say, I wouldn't change a comma at Il Ciottolo, so congratulations and THANK YOU Manuela!

Cara Sara grazie di cuore! Anche Sara è un ospite meraviglioso e piacevole, molto discreto e attento. La piacevole chiacchierata e i consigli per i viaggi futuri. Grazie e spero a presto nelle tue montagne. Manuela, Isabella e Gigi.
