Loft in San Lorenzo, two minutes from the Acquario; optional parking

In the most elegant and well populated areas of the old town, only 50 m away from the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and 300 m from Porto Antico, we rent a newly renovated loft, with kitchen, bathroom and a small bedroom.
The apartment, that is under preservation order of the Ministry of Fine Arts, combines ancient elements - such as a beautiful, carved wooden ceiling, the red tiled floor in the small bedroom, a gorgeous marmor sink and even a water pipe, all dated around 1500 - with modern elements, like iron tie-beams that hold up a balcony. Because of its aesthetic and structural peculiarity it has been published on both architecture and furniture journals.
It is entirely furnished and it offers high quality household appliances, ranging from a dishwasher to a combi oven (microwave and convection), a DVD player, TV, locker, washing machine, hair dryer, fridge and deep freezer. There are foru beds - a double bed on the balcony, two sofa-beds in the living room (yellow in the pictures; a single and a double one) and a bed in a small room, that can be turned into a double bed.
The apartment is located at a second floor without lift, all windows face south and get the sun light for several hours, since they have a rather open view on a beautiful little square, full of green: you will be waked up in the morning by the birds singing. It is located in a car-free zone and it is therefore very silent. Nevertheless, it can be directly reached by car - check www.genovaparcheggi.it for conditions and details.
In less than five minutes you can reach several public parkings as well as the main metro stations. It is the ideal starting point to visit the aquarium (3-5 min by foot), downtown (again 3-5 min by foot) and the main museums by foot. In less than 15 minutes by public transportation you can also reach Castelletto, that offers one of the most fascinating and beautiful views of the city.

NOTE 1: There is the possibility to rent a parking slot until December, in the Garage Marina Park in Via della Marina for 15 Euros / day. The garage is 700 m (8 min by foot) from the apartment.

NOTE 2: This loft can host at most 7 persons. Large groups can also book the loft on the first floor in the same building (ad nr. 1877468). There are 13 beds alltogether, 7 here and 6 in the other loft.
To compute the correct total quote, please add the quote for this loft + the one for the other loft, always entering the correct number of persons in each apartment.

Best Introduction to Italy

I cannot recommend Genova, this loft, or Paola highly enough -- we fell in love with all three. The loft is beautiful, historic, and perfectly located (downtown, 2 minutes to bakeries, stores, and cafes, but tucked away in a sidestreet so it's not too noisy). The loft is spacious and enjoyable. Paola is literally the best hostess -- she gave us recommendations for things to do and places to eat (and they were all incredible -- we give Paola's recommendations five stars). She even went out of her way to help us plan what to do for the rest of our time in Italy (the time outside of Genova). She was so charming and so helpful. We'll remember our stay in Genova fondly and plan to come back as soon as possible to stay again in this incredible location and eat more Genovese pesto! Grazie!!

Buona soluzione vicino all'acquario

La casa è vicina all'acquario e alle principali attrazioni, pulita e ben organizzata. Le scale del palazzo sono molto ripide e pericolose ma dentro si sta bene. Ok per famiglie

Superba

Genoa is just the place to discover, it gets better every time you visit the city. And the historical centre will keep on giving if you are willing to walk across and around it. This means that the location of the apartment is perfect. The facilities of the house are good and the host, Paola, is attent and helpful.

Agréable

Très bel appartement, rénové, agréable et bien équipé. Il y a même des jeux pour les enfants ! Comme il est situé en plein centre-ville, c'est idéal pour découvrir le centre historique à pied. Eléna est adorable et nous a aidés à réserver le parking pour la voiture à quelques pas pour un accueil hyper confortable ! Une adresse à noter dans les tablettes

Tout bien !

Très agréable appartement, calme et clair car donnant sur un petit jardin (avec quelques tables d'un restaurant mais pas de gène), avec le charme des anciennes constructions (il a été rénové avec goût). Paola est charmante et l'accueil très sympathique. L'appartement est propre et bien équipé, idéal pour deux (ou une petite famille avec la chambrette). Grand lit très confortable. Il est à noter que la hauteur sous plafond de la mezzanine demande de la prudence si on dépasse 1m80. Réseau wifi très aléatoire en dehors de la fenêtre. Merci à Paola.

Pleasant surprise

My girlfriend and I stayed in this condo for 3 nights this past September and were very pleased with our stay. The condo more than met our expectations and was in a great location in old town Genova. Paola was great to deal with. She was very friendly and helpful. Take heed any suggestions she may offer you, as they were all must see, do or eats.

Awesome flat

Simply awesome. Beautiful flat in a very old house in the very center of Genova. The flat was really spacy with everything we could possibly need. The owners were very helpful and it was a pleasure to communicate with them. We also appreciated all the information about Genova and its surroundings. And last but not least - few bottles of cold drinks in a fridge waiting for us after a long hot journey. All recommendation from Czech Republic

Un piacevole soggiorno in una casa di altri tempi

Abbiamo parcheggiato la macchina e abbiamo avuto tutto a portata di mano, ristoranti, musei, negozi - proprio come 1000 anni fa! Grazie a Paola che ci ha dato i consigli giusti per vedere le parti più belle della città!

Siamo stati benissimo!

A prescindere dallo splendido scenario in cui è inserito l'alloggio, un centro storico medioevale tutto da scoprire (non esitate ad entrare nei palazzi, come ci ha consigliato la proprietaria!), la nostra vacanza ha goduto di uno speciale sapore al ritorno al passato in questo gioiellino inserito nel centro di Genova. L'appartamento ci ha meravigliato e totalmente soddisfatto per la pulizia e la completezza dei comfort e per la tranquillità e il silenzio della sua ubicazione. Per ogni aiuto o suggerimento riguardo la vostra visita, vi consigliamo di chiedere alla proprietaria che si è sempre dimostrata affidabilissima e disponibile alle nostre richieste. Ci ha accompagnato ad un paio di ristoranti in zona e ci ha portato delle lenzuola supplementari quando gliel'abbiamo chiesto. Se proprio dovessimo trovare un difetto, le scale sono un po' mal tenute, anche se dovete fare solo due rampe.

Una sistemazione lussuosa

Questo è uno degli appartamenti più belli che ho trovato. E' stata una vera emozione trascorrere del tempo qui, perché l'aspetto della casa e i tantissimi dettagli antichi rinvenuti e curati dalla proprietaria con vero gusto e molta cura ti fanno vivere a contatto con secoli di storia. L'appartamento è allo stesso tempo dotato di tutti i confort di una casa moderna, dagli elettrodomestici ad incasso alla cassaforte e quadri moderni e allegri.
