About this property
A truly charming property, just 2 minutes from the magnificent cathedral!
Prepare to be charmed by the enchanting medieval atmosphere of 12th-century Genoa! You'll be just a short 3-minute walk from the awe-inspiring Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the vibrant main square, Piazza De Ferrari, and a leisurely 8-minute stroll from the fascinating Aquarium.
It's the perfect place for groups of friends and families, with space for up to 7/8 people. The charming first-floor apartment is about 150 sqm, with three rooms, a large living room with a sofa bed, a kitchen, and two bathrooms.
The first room has a king-size double bed (180x200), the second room has a French double bed (160x200) and the third room has a single bed (120x200) on a mezzanine.
The living room is the perfect place to unwind, with a cosy corner sofa bed and a peninsula, as well as a double bed that offers a great night's rest.The bathrooms are fully equipped, with one complete bathroom and a second one, ensuring your comfort.The kitchen is a chef's paradise, and the laundry room is the perfect place to relax.The palace itself is a cultural treasure, with an authentic atrium featuring Ionic columns that will take your breath away. 'Le vele di San Lorenzo' will welcome you with a majestic hall covered by vaulted ceilings almost 5 metres high, creating an atmosphere of grandeur.
You will be staying in the opulent first noble floor, spanning approximately 150 square metres and adorned with warm tones that create a captivating blend of radical chic and cosy comfort, seamlessly blending almost a thousand years of history.
------------------MORE DETAILS----------- LIVING ROOM The living room is the heart of the flat! About 25 square metres in size, with a single vaulted ceiling, it's the perfect space for spending moments of conviviality and harmony. It's got a modern and spacious dining area and a relaxation area with a corner sofa bed, a double bed (150x200) and a 45" smart TV so you can access your Netflix and Prime. You'll love the vintage globe with liquor offered by the host and the record player with sought-after LPs of Genoese singer-songwriters (Fabrizio De André, Paolo Conte) and others (Luciano Pavarotti). In the room, you'll also find board games (Risiko and others), playing cards (scale 40) and texts on the history of Genoa and Genoese cuisine. The room is equipped with a blade fan with cooling function.
ROOM '1 A cosy and private king-size double room (180x200) with a 3-door wardrobe, double-glazed windows and blackout curtains.The large king size will give you the best rest.Overlooking the inside of the building.Equipped with a quiet, modern Rowenta blade fan.
ROOM '2' A bright and very spacious double bedroom with a French bed (160x200), large walk-in wardrobe, double-glazed windows, blackout curtains, 32'' smart TV (so you can access your Netflix, Prime, Youtube etc. accounts) and exclusive study/smart working area on the mezzanine.
The view of the medieval access road, Via dei Giustiniani, is simply stunning! Not only will you get an unparalleled view of the medieval cityscape, but you'll also be able to catch a glimpse of the Roman archaeological site. Whether you want to sit back and enjoy a good book or sip a coffee while taking in the views, there's a spot for you. There's a small table on the railing, perfect for a leisurely read, or you can make yourself comfortable in the study area on the mezzanine. This area is not only a great place to relax, but it also offers a smart working environment.And let's not forget the Rowenta blade fan, which keeps things nice and quiet.
ROOM '3' A bright and airy room with a queen-size bed (120x200), walk-in wardrobe, double-glazed window frames, blackout curtains and a cosy sitting area.The bed, which is comfortable for 1 person but can also be used by 2 people, is located on the mezzanine floor of the room, so you will need to climb stairs to get in (not recommended for children or adults with mobility difficulties).
The romantic view of Via dei Giustiniani and the cosy sitting area, with its small table and two chairs, will provide you with moments of peace and relaxation.
The room is equipped with a quiet, modern Rowenta blade fan.
N.B. --> SOUNDPROOFING ROOMS 2 AND 3 Rooms 2 and 3 have stunning views of Via dei Giustiniani. They are fitted with double-glazed windows, shutters and sound-absorbing curtains, so you can be sure of a good night's rest. However, noise from the nearby pub may be heard, especially at weekends. But don't worry, we've got you covered with a selection of disposable earplugs to ensure a good night's rest for all. And for those who prefer a peaceful slumber, we've got you covered too!
PARKING
We've got you covered with a convenient parking spot at 'Piccapietra Park' (Piazza Piccapietra, 58/A), just a 8-minute walk from the flat, right in the heart of the action!
EAT, DRINK & SHOP The flat is right next to the famous 'Trattoria da Ugo', a well-known producer and exporter of 'pesto genovese'. Here you can try traditional Ligurian dishes and even watch the pesto being made in the shop opposite 'Pesto e Oltre', which is also owned by the same person.
And for something really special, just opposite is the 'Ristorante il Ciuchino', which is simply outstanding, especially for fish dishes (you won't find fish like this in other restaurants).
CLEANING DURING YOUR STAY And for those who like to keep their home comforts, there's the option to arrange for additional cleaning during your stay at an extra cost of just €70.
SMART CHECK-IN PROCEDURE Access to the flat is a breeze, thanks to a smart procedure managed by the company Vikey. After booking, you'll receive a link where you can upload your documents and identity papers (which will be sent to the Questura di Genova: it's just one of the many ways we ensure compliance with Italian law). Once you do that, you'll receive the smart access link to the facility. Access is a breeze, and I or my co-hosts are always just a message away if you need a hand – even if you're struggling or missing a connection.And if you'd rather have a warm welcome, our in-person meet-and-greet is available from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for an additional €20. Just give me a heads-up at least a week in advance, and we'll make it happen! And don't worry, uploading your ID documents to the Vikey link is still a must!
I'm always just a message away, whether you need help with anything, or just want to chat about what to do, see and eat during your stay. :)
I'm always here to meet your special needs and follow your suggestions, so don't hesitate to ask! If you need anything in particular, like specific kitchen utensils, just let me know before you arrive, and I'll make sure to have it for you.And don't worry about luggage storage — just ask, and I'll be happy to arrange it for a few hours, so you can relax and enjoy your stay!
