Glimpse of the village of boccadasse
Just 15 minutes from Hotel Bristol Palace we find the village of Boccadasse, famous for being one of the most romantic and charming place in our region and the ideal destination for a trip out of town for Valentine's Day. The small town is located directly on the sea and protected by a beautiful inlet. The houses stand out with their pastel colours and the sea breeze carries the scent of maritime pines all along the coast.
Name’s origin:
Boccadasse owes its name to the lines that form its inlet, which resemble the shape of a donkey's mouth (bocca d'ase in Genoese dialect). Legend has it that the first inhabitants of the area were Spanish sailors who, at the mercy of a storm, took advantage of the inlet to protect themselves from the sea.
A romantic destination for Valentine's Day:
The Borgo is just a few kilometres from the Hotel Bristol Palace and, as well as being a popular meeting place for families in Genoa for their walks, it's a great idea for those looking for a romantic, characteristic place to strike a chord! We are waiting for you with our exclusive proposals for unique experiences and wonderful days in Genoa.
