7 Night Stay at Apartment in Genova, Italy
Salita Santa Caterina 2/12C 60123 GENOVA
Gorgeous apartment located in the historic city center of Genova Italy on the Mediterranean Ocean
2 bedroom/2 bathroom (sleeps 4 comfortably - 6 with children)
Short train ride to Portofino, Cinque Terre and many other popular Italian and French cities.
Package also includes a freshly prepared, traditional Italian home cooked meal served in the beautiful dining room overlooking downtown Genova. Meal prepared by close family friend and cook to the apartment owners.
Property Description: Genova (aka Genoa in Italian) is a Mediterranean seaport city in the northwestern Italy part of the Liguria region and is the centre of the Italian Riviera. Genova is rich in art, architectural treasures and museums, with an evocative medieval historic history. It is has a sprawling seafront and is also known for their food (seafood, cured meats, focaccia and pesto), olive oil and of course, wine. It is where Christopher Columbus was born (his home is still there and in walking distance to visit). The apartment is located in a historic building originally part of the Palace of the wealthy Spinola Genovese family. It was reconstructed in the 2010’s to create beautifully appointed apartments.
All of the historic points of interest like the medieval city center, museums, theatre, aquarium, the port and fantastic shopping are steps away from the apartment. The beaches are an easy bus ride or uber/taxi drive away.
The taxi stand is right outside of the apartment complex. The train station is a 15 minute walk where you can take a 30 minute train ride to popular destinations such as Cinque Terre and Portofino.
Milan is 1.5 hours and Florence 2.5 hours by train. The apartment is a private home (approx. 1000 s.q.f.) with a beautiful large outside terrace overlooking Genova historic city center where you can have your morning coffee, eat your meals or just enjoy the sunset. The apartment belonged to my mother who had exquisite taste and the apartment is furnished with her treasures. We do not rent out the apartment and is exclusively used by our family and close friends.
Additional notes:
* If interested, arrangements can be made to have a cook make and serve dinner 1-2 nights during your stay at an additional cost.
* Grocery store is in walking distance
* There is a laundry room with a washer/dryer unit.
