About this property
Charming apartment just renovated ideal location to visit Genoa
We are Silvia and Michele and welcome you to Rosso Magenta! Our apartment is located on the fifth floor with elevator of a noble palace of the early '900; is bright and from our balcony you can enjoy a wonderful view of the center of Genoa and also of a glimpse of the sea. Our house is located in a strategic position to visit Genoa, a stone's throw from the center, in the elegant and quiet neighborhood of Castelletto, green and quiet.
The bedroom and living room are both equipped with a king-size bed, ie a sofa that easily transforms into bed. They are very comfortable, we have personally tested them.
The kitchen has everything you can need (Michele is a cook ...), oven, small appliances, micronde oven, dishwasher etc., and left some breakfast products and if you want to cook something at home.
The apartment has just been restructured with us with love and creativity to make it a unique place. Here you can savor the air of distant worlds: we are great travelers and we have furnished the home with objects from many of the countries we have visited, which you can find in the great map of the world hanging in the living room.
Generally you will have the entire apartment available. If, however, at home we would be happy to welcome you personally and give you tips for a good Genoese stay! You can speak to us in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. We will always be available to give you all the information you need and also advise you on good places to eat.
We are halfway through the Funicular Sant'Anna, just a few steps from Via Garibaldi, where you can find the beautiful noble palaces of the Rolli (UNESCO World Heritage Site). At a glance (about 5 minutes on foot), through the typical Genoese creoles, you can immerse yourself in the largest historic center in Europe, with its quaint alleys where you can find theaters, cinemas, bars, restaurants and typical shops and reach from there the Old Port and the Aquarium. When visiting Genova, the car is best to forget it, but you do not need it because the house is close to everything you want to visit. However, there is parking for a fee at about 30 meters from the house and, if you are lucky, no charge on our way. From Rosso Magenta you can easily reach both Genova's Piazza Principe and Brignole stations, within 20 minutes or a few minutes by bus.
If you are a larger group, we can offer you more hospitality by networking with other hospitality facilities, which are right in our own condo!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful apartment quite near central Genova. Excellent host communication. You need strong legs, since the ascend from the city is quite demanding. It’s worth it, though. Highly recommendable!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Communication
More assistance needed to locate the unit.The property is very comfortable in size and facilities. It was very difficult to locate the front door, the lockbox… we were fortunate to find a neighbour.We were surprised to find a sofa bed rather than an actual bed.Also the 200 steps up from the main street would be taxing. The location is very good to view the historical city and the sea. It is very clean and well stocked
charming old world apartment it is. Not a family friendly apartment. The apartment is located on a very steep, very hilly terrain, making it difficult to walk to and from each day, no air conditioning and only sofa beds making it a little less charming. It was especially difficult travelling with a 3yr old, a stroller and the ability to get to the water. (All questions asked in advance). To be fair the train that could bring you easily up and down from the steep up hill apartment was broken. There are also a lot of vintage Knick knacks and artifacts all over the apartment. Not a good idea with a 3yr who wants to touch everything. We had to check out after one night as it was way too hot and a hilly. The amenities were also not in proper working order so notes were left all over the apartment on how to use or to be gentle. It was too stressful with a child. The host did give us a one night refund on our 4 night booking. I'm sure if you are a young couple travelling in the fall it would be ok.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept 2026
Dear Laura, as already expressed to you, we are sorry your stay didn't meet your expectations, but we must clarify some details for future guests.
All characteristics - including the historic "old world" nature, steep terrain, absence of A/C (normally not a problem except during this year's exceptional heatwave), sofa beds, and vintage decor - are clearly described and visible in our photos. The apartment is exactly as advertised. The notes left around are simply helpful courtesy guidance, not because amenities don't work. Over the years, many families with young children have stayed without any concerns about "knick-knacks". Guests who prefer different setups naturally choose other options; it was your choice to book. Regarding the funicular railway, its breakdown was a temporary public service issue beyond our control. Before arrival, you only asked about visiting Portofino, and we gave detailed options. No questions were asked about the seaside, we are right in the center of Genoa.
You requested to modify your stay after check-in, not permitted by VRBO's policy. Yet, we agreed to refund 50% of our actual payout as you requested. It is unfair to claim we only refunded 1 night, confusing our generosity with VRBO’s own service fees and taxes, which only the platform can refund. We even spent time helping you try to deal with VRBO on this. We always strive to be helpful, even when guests do not review our detailed listing carefully before booking. We wish you the best.
Beautiful place, great area. Awesome apartment and balcony to sip evening wine and view the city. Loved having an elevator finally in Italy after 4 weeks. I have lugged my suitcases up sooo many stairs!! Ciao! Joe
This property was as advertised, the services and amenities were as described, there were no issues at all with the property.
It is situated in a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood, in reasonable proximity to the historic and cultural heart of Genoa.
However prospective guests need to keep in mind that the property is situated high up on a hill so those with some mobility limitations may want to consider a location in the flatter part of the city. We needed to make a lot of use of taxis because of this
We enjoyed our stay in Genoa. Silvia the host was very helpful; she communicated well. We had everything we needed for the two nights that we stayed in the area. We were there in July. There was no A/C but we were comfortable opening the windows which provided a cool, steady breeze.
The apartment was fully furnished with all of the amenities that we needed and there were two fans to help circulate the air-flow. We also enjoyed the character and nostalgia of the lift. The apartment was on the fifth floor, but it was very easy to access. The building had a lot of character to it. We were able to navigate easily by using the buses, taxes, and accessing the funicular, which was just steps away.
Appartement totalement conforme à la description. Très bien situé pour visiter Gênes et ses alentours.Le propriétaire est très réactif dans ses réponses ce qui facilite l'accès à l'arrivée. Quartier très calme et appartement propre et bien équipé. Je recommande ce logement. Merci encore à Michèle.
Très bel appartement dans le centre de Gênes. Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous ! Très belle vue sur la ville et balcon très agréable. Hôtes sympathiques et réactifs.
Super séjour dans une résidence de standing.Appartement tout confort avec un balcon qui permet de prendre l’air du 5eme étage avec une vue sur Gênes. La situation de l’appartement permet de tout faire à pied dans de très bonnes conditions.Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et toujours disponible à la moindre question.Tout était parfait !
L’appartement est idéalement situé pour visiter le centre historique de Gênes. Il est à environ 15 minutes à pied du port sur lequel nous avons visité l’aquarium et fait une balade en bateau jusqu’à Portifno.Le plus et que nous nous réveillons avec le chant des oiseaux.
Emplacement idéal pour visiter la vielle ville. Un peu déçu par la présentation en ligne annonçant un appartement récemment rénové avec 2 chambres alors qu'il n'y en avait qu'une, plus un lit clic-clac dans le séjour, literie un peu juste (2 lits clic-clac), salle de bain à améliorer. Séjour agréable cependant et hôtes très aimables.
Ho trascorso un soggiorno tranquillo, in una casa che parlava dei proprietari, dei loro viaggi, calore, tanta luce e silenziosa.
Posizione spettacolare per la vista e la vicinanza al centro ma anche al Porto Vecchio.
Spero di tornarci presto!!!
Appartement de caractère tout près des palais de la via Garibaldi.
Vrai Airb’b dans un appartement où les propriétaires résident ( absents lors de notre séjour) calme et lumineux, à quelques pas du centre.
Le retour par la montée piétonne un peu raide peut être ardu pour seniors mais possibilité de prendre le funiculaire puis de redescendre.
Die Wohnung liegt hoch über der Zahnradbahn von St. Anna, aber dennoch nicht weit von der Altstadt und den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wir haben alles zu Fuß gut erreicht, wir sind mal den steilen Berg zur Wohnung hinaufgestiegen, manchmal mit der Bahn hochgefahren und das letzte Stück runtergelaufen. Man hat einen tollen Ausblick aus dem Wohnzimmer oder vom kleinen Balkon, dennoch ist es sehr ruhig, ein aufgeräumtes, nettes Stadtviertel. Das sehr gut ausgestattete und gemütliche Appartement selbst schien uns etwas kleiner und enger als die Bilder wirkten, dennoch haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Bett ist nur eine Schlafcouch für 2 Personen und daher etwas hart. Die Kommunikation mit der freundlichen Vermieterin hat gut geklappt, wir haben auch viele gute Tipps bekommen.
Un appartement plaisant très bien situé pour visiter Gênes !
Le mail d'accueil envoyé par nos hôtes est complet et multilingue (It, Eng, Fr), très bonne communication avec eux.
L'appartement est assez spacieux, le lit est confortable et les lieux sont calmes et plaisants, la vue est agréable.
On accède rapidement au centre ville qui se parcourt aisément à pieds.
Seul bemol, l'isolation thermique (appartement chaud en journée, bien fermer les volets) et les mouettes qui se soucient peu de la tranquilité d'autrui!
Nice apartment with a great view on a super location
The apartment is well equiped, on the fifth floor (elevator) and situated on a hill, so you have a great view from the balcony over the citry center and the sea in the background. The apartment is clean, has two good sofabeds and a well equiped kitchen. It has an international atmosphere.
Grazie mille Carlo! L'ospite perfetto!! Comunicazione facilissima, gentilezza e totale autonomia, mai nemmeno una richiesta qualsivoglia in un mese, da record! E la chicca finale (assolutamente non dovuta, ma graditissima): ritornare a casa dal viaggio e trovarla profumata e pulita come uno specchio è stata una sorpresa meravigliosa. Grazie ancora Carlo! Silvia e Michele

Posizione ottima e casa attrezzata
La casa si trova a ridosso della zona centrale dalla citta, a circa 10 minuti a piedi da piazza De Ferrari, 15 minuti dal porto antico. Non è agevolissima la salita Sant'Anna, ma vi porta subito in centro.
Se siete stanchi, al ritorno prendete il 36 e scendete alla fermata Magenta2, da lì a scendere alla casa ci vorranno pochi minuti.
La struttura non è recente ma è molto spaziosa, luminosa e fornita di ogni attrezzatura. Situata in un palazzo molto tranquillo a ridosso della funicolare.
Silvia è stata molto precisa nelle indicazioni e disponibile nei nostri confronti.
