Genoa
On the top floor of an elegant 1891 mansion, Genova 46 has five spacious rooms and suites, all set with original details (like stucco ceilings) and vibrant contemporary artwork on the walls (borrowed from the Galleria Rotta Farinelli). The warm welcome adds to the appeal.
It's a 15-minute stroll into the old town, but a steep (uphill) walk back from there.
