  Central, different and impractical

  13 Jan 2026

  Stayed two nights on a business trip.The hotel is situated in the heart of the old medieval city and is a converted former palazzo. This means that it’s not possible to arrive at the hotel by car and you must walk a good distance from the nearest parking lot via narrow cobblestone streets in order to get to the hotel.Arriving late evening also meant navigating past some sinister characters hanging around in the narrow streets and prostitutes offering their services.The hotel does not have a lobby and is occupying one floor in a building also housing private residents, and check-in is done at another hotel across the small square.The room was in two floors with a sofa, chair and a low table at the lower floor and a bed and a chair on a mezzanine, accessible from a steep staircase, which is rather impractical if you have to use the bathroom during the night. The was no desk for working.Breakfast is only available at the other hotel across the square.

  The junior suite is spacious, luxurious and a great place to relax after wandering around Genoa.

  23 Oct 2024

  This is really an awesome place to stay right in the heart of Genoa’s old town. You check in at the main hotel on the small piazza and walk across the square to a secure doorway. Take an elevator to the hotel floor and the room key gives you access to that floor. The junior suite is two levels with a small living space up a flight of stairs. The main room is comfortable, spotless with lots of room. Down the hall is a lounge that has an ice and water machine, coffee and tea and cookies in the afternoon. The view is of an inner courtyard, great to watch when it rains. It is a very short walk to the main square and pedestrian streets. I was sad to leave this awesome room!

  An Oasis in the Heart of the City

  03 Oct 2024

  Le Nuvole - set in a square - is a reasonably quiet oasis that is slightly apart from the hubbub of the city but centrally located, and within a 10-minute walk of all the main sights (provided you don't get lost in the famous alleys). Some of the key take-aways:- The staff are generally friendly and accommodating.- The rooms are reasonably spacious. We opted for a suite that has a lofted seating area, which is probably neither needed nor justified. Unless you have more than two people in your party, a standard room should be more than sufficient.- The rooms are clean and nicely appointed. I am not sure I would deem anything particularly luxurious, but everything was of a good standard for the price point.- If you opt for breakfast, you have access to a decent selection of standard continental and hot buffet breakfast food. Again, nothing is exceptional, but it is certainly good enough.- There are a few sparsely decorated common areas for (instant) coffee and water on the same floor as the hotel rooms. This is a nice feature to have in theory, but I found these areas slightly depressing. If nothing else, they serve as a useful spot to regroup quickly before or after an excursion if you are there with other couples.Overall, Le Nuvole is a good option - clean and central, it serves as a good base for exploring Genoa.

  Through the alleys of Genoa, a great boutique property!

  25 Sept 2023

  Initially intimidated by the narrow and confusing alleyways behind Genoa's harbor, I found my way there. A very friendly young woman welcomed me and explained the layout. My room had a loft. It was quiet and well laid out. Excellent if smallish bathroom. Delightful breakfast room in a partner building with an outdoor patio. There is also an expansive living room with gigantic shelves full of wonderful books covering the spectrum of Italian art and design. Had a sublime moment while staying there after taking a harbor tour with a threatening sky looming over. A patter of light rain began just as the boat returned. Luckily, whilst waiting for the vessel to leave, I did two "rehearsal walks" back to the Hotel. As soon as we were invited to step off, I made haste, effortlessly navigating. I badged into the front door, and chose the ancient, worn-smooth steps leading up to the rooms. It was just me on this quiet staircase. At each landing, a thrown-open casement window with a view of rain and the cobblestone floored piazza below. Hint for anyone confused by the alleyways - for me the best way to get to the Hotel was to start opposite the big "sail canvas" structure by the harbor. Walk with the large white muraled building to your RIGHT. Make a left onto Via S. Luca, proceed about a block, right turn onto Vito Del Santo Sepulcro, proceed about two blocks to Piazza Dell Vigne - that's where the Hotel is.

  A real find in the heart of historic Genoa

  15 Jul 2022

  There's so much to love about this hotel. It takes up one floor of a historic building right in the centre of the old town. The reception and rooftop breakfast room are in the neighbouring Grillo Palace Hotel which is a restored Renaissance mansion. There are breathtaking frescoes and stucco decorations alongside modern furniture and art work which create something really special. The breakfast buffet is outstanding with hot food (scrambled eggs, bacon etc) catering to a British/American clientele as well as the fresh fruit and wonderful cakes and pastries you would expect in an Italian hotel. As other have mentioned the cafe area with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits is a real bonus. Staff are all excellent arranging a private transfer from the airport for us even though there was a taxi strike when we arrived. Will definitely return. Staff Palazzo Grillo e Le Nuvole, Proprietario at Le Nuvole Residenza d'epoca, responded to this review Dear Fitzbrum, we are so happy and pleased that you appreciated our hotel and its historicity. We are very glad that you have found the work done by our staff pleasing. We look forward to have you as our guest again soon.Kind regardsHotel Le Nuvole
