Rooms & Relax

A new way to live Genoa’s old town

You have decided to see Genoa, to sleep in the old town and to wake up with focaccia in the air. You are in the right place.

Teseo sits in the beating heart of the historic centre, inside the pedestrian zone. Six rooms and three apartments, each designed on its own terms, a wellness area nobody expects to find here, and a city best discovered on foot, one alley at a time.

Rooms & Relax

Six rooms, three apartments

The thing you would not expect

Sauna, steam bath, sensory shower

Inside the caruggi, a wellness area entirely to yourself.

This is not a shared room with a queue outside: you book it, it lasts up to an hour and a half, and it is for your exclusive use. It is the reason many guests come back early after a day on foot in the old town.

The neighbourhood

One of the largest medieval old towns in Europe

113 hectares of alleys, on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2006.

Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and the Rolli palaces are a few hundred metres away, as are the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Vigne bell tower, the Aquarium and the Old Port Marina. You step out of Teseo and you are already inside it.

The shared spaces

Where you pause before heading out

The hall, the high table where the map gets unfolded, the desk for whatever needs sorting, the corridors leading to the rooms. They were designed with the same care as the rooms, and they are all yours to use.

  • The hall with its high table, brass wall disc and a glimpse of the lounge
  • The shared desk, with the sofa and gold pendant lamps
  • The corridor leading to the rooms
