Genova Blues, in the heart of Boccadasse

Come mingle with the locals! Genova Blues is all yours and it’s in the heart of Boccadasse.

The area is unique and from the living room you can see the sea and at times the wind will bring the smell right into the house.

Just a two minute walk from the beach of this authentic fisherman’s village, you can enjoy delicious fritto misto, pizzas, farinata and beach-side spritzes at restaurants, aperitivo bars and gelato places. Yet you'll sleep quietly at night without the usual hustle and bustle from the lively bay.

The house has just been renovated. We love staying here too so we’ve made sure to make it homely with lots of light and all the modern comforts you may need. Our terrace is very spacious, and the big open-space living area connects sitting room, dining room and kitchen.

There are two full bathrooms with shower and a bath. The house is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a special dinner or cook-in for family breakfasts and lunches and includes a very large fridge. There’s a laundry room with a washing machine.

All three bedrooms are big with much cupboard space. One of them has a king size bed, the other a small double bed and the third room has two wide single beds.

There’s private parking right outside the apartment and its included in the price, a real plus if you know the area!

It’s important to know that the house is on two levels connected by a staircase - you’ll see it in the pictures. There is a lift up to the 4th floor but you’ll have another flight of stair to reach the terrace that is the entrance to the house.

In summer crystal clear water and still waters in the morning make Boccadasse ideal for an early morning swim - you’ll be with a few locals! There’s a lifeguard present during summer months and the bay is ideal for families.
Getting into the city center, the historic old town or aquarium is easy. We’re connected with three different bus lines and the Sturla train station within easy reach. The IT TAXI app works beautifully when you feel a bit lazy!

Longer day trips, to Santa Margherita, Camogli, Portofino and hiking in Cinque Terre are all great outings Giovanni or Suzanne can help you with. Getting a rental boat out of Nervi (a scenic bus ride or a few stops away by train) to explore the gorgeous Italian Riviera coastline with stops along the way for snorkeling is high on our list of favourite things to do as a family.
