apartment in the historic center of Genoa
The Paguro Bernardo is a nice, small apartment of 35 square meters of comfort. Ideal for those traveling as a couple, with friends or even alone for tourism or work, is a typical two-room apartment in the heart of the old town just renovated by the expert hands of an architect who has chosen some furnishings in various parts of Italy for their originality . It consists of a living room with a kitchenette, where you can have breakfast or place two people in the practical sofa-bed, a bathroom with shower and a bedroom on the lower level which can be reached with a particular wrought-iron staircase. Like many typical rooms of old Genoa, it has exposed wooden beams (for this reason, in the room above the bed, the ceiling is 1.85m high) but it is functional, just like the shell that houses the hermit crab from which we got ideas. The house is equipped with a television, a hair dryer, a mobile phone charging socket and USB keys, a coffee machine and a washing machine. Towels, bathrobes and sheets will be provided for your stay. The location is extremely favorable for exploring Genoa, because monuments, museums, means of transport and shops for shopping are very close: as soon as you open the door of the building there are local, historical and not, churches, palaces of the Rolli. At 170m is the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and at 270m there are Palazzo Ducale and Piazza De Ferrari. From this square there are the subway, taxis and buses, as from Piazza Caricamento, very close. From here you can also enter the Porto Antico area with L'Acquario, the Bigo and other attractions. To park check the Visitgenoa website

A really great and unique apartment! Perfect for our stay, in a very central location. There are bars and restaurants in the streets around, which are great if you like the nightlife. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!
Cute and quaint space for our short stop in Genoa. Thank you so much for meeting us at the train station and giving us a short tour on the way to our apartment. We enjoyed the city very much!!
Perfect stay in the best area of Genova. Everything in reach on foot within 10 mintues. Roberto met us at check in and was lovely, respectful and helpful. He even wished my wife a Happy Birthday on the correct morning!Genova is a City well worth exploring and I/we will be back in future for more Pesto and Foccacia, and we would love to stay here again.

Unique property right in the heart of old Genoa, ideal base to see all the sights. Quirky layout won't suit everyone with a very narrow shower room/toilet and a narrow stairway to the main bedroom downstairs from the living area but we adapted quickly and it became part of a very positive holiday experience. Lastly the hosts were very welcoming and helpful, although better directions from the metro station would have been good

We enjoyed the stay, middle in the city center. Didn’t need a car as we walked a lot. Property has everything you need, but if you are a light sleeper this is not for you, the youngsters are quite loud till late in the weekend.
Tremendous communication with Roberto, everthing was arranged smoothly

Excelente atención de Roberto el anfitrión y muy bueno el lugar para conocer la ciudad histórica, cerca de todo. Solo tener en cuenta que son dos pisos por escalera, no apto para gente con movilidad reducida.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans l'appartement de Bernardo du 28 décembre au 2 janvier 2025. La localisation en est vraiment idéale pour visiter Gênes. L'appartement est très bien équipé, et Bernardo a tout fait pour rendre la vie de ses hôtes agréable : fournitures pour le petit déjeuner, conseils, documentation, équipement, bref, le TOP ! A recommander Pierre
tres riche sejour à Genes, ville fascinante plaine de ressources, l'appartement est tres bien situé proche du centre et du port, beaucoup de restaurants sympas dans le coin
Un grazie sincero a Roberto per accoglienza, empatia e gentilezza. All'interno del Paguro Bernardo ci si sente davvero nel cuore di Genova. Mia sorella ed io siamo stati benissimo! Andare poi alla scoperta di Genova è stato facilissimo vista la posizione strategica. Fortemente consigliato.
