B&B Casa Aurora

B&B Casa Aurora is a bed and breakfast on Piazza San Giorgio in the Centro Storico area of Genoa, Liguria, Italy, at the edge of the Old Port and the Sottoripa arcades. Piazza San Giorgio is one of the oldest parts of the medieval port quarter, close to the Palazzo San Giorgio, the former seat of the Bank of Saint George, and to the long arcaded street of Sottoripa, where small shops and fried-fish and focaccia stalls have traded for generations. The Porto Antico, with the Aquarium of Genoa, the Bigo lift and the waterfront promenade, is steps away, and San Giorgio metro station and the cathedral of San Lorenzo are also close. The setting is atmospheric but busy, with the medieval lanes (caruggi) of the centro storico starting directly behind the square. Listed rates are about EUR 55-110 per night. The only room type is the Double Room, and the only amenity listed in the available data is wifi, so visitors should confirm breakfast, air conditioning, heating and bathroom arrangements with the property before booking. No restaurant, spa, pool or fitness facility is recorded. Food is the strength of the surroundings: Sottoripa and the nearby lanes offer focaccia, farinata, fried seafood and trattorie with Genoese dishes such as trofie with pesto and stuffed vegetables. The service character is small and local, suited to independent travellers and couples who want to stay in the heart of the old port district and are comfortable with a lively street scene. The property can be reached by telephone on +39 010 2541677; no website is recorded in the available data. Because the old port quarter can be noisy in the evenings and the lanes are narrow, visitors should arrange arrival time, key handover and the best drop-off point with the host in advance, and may wish to ask about the room's exposure to the street.
