About this property
Loft in San Lorenzo, two minutes from the Acquario; optional parking
This is an apartment full of atmosphere. It is set in a historical context, on the first floor of one of the oldest buildings in the city, and still retains many original features, such as the ancient terracotta pipe that brought water from the roof to the tank under the street level; at the same time it provides all the comforts of a modern apartment, from the autonomous heating to the dishwasher and wifi.
The real peculiarity is the vaulted ceiling which preserves the entire original mattonata. It is a rarity, of which there are only a few other examples in the world, including some in Assisi. The ceiling is characterized by its deep red color, typical of the "pisanelle" of the early Middle Ages (1200) and the fact that the bricks are very thin compared to those of today.
The loft is composed of a living room with two sofa beds, kitchenette and a mezzanine, with a double bed; a room with another mezzanine, on which there is the second doublebed; and the bathroom.
The cooking corner, in Genovese style, with a marble working top, is fully-equipped with induction burners, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and espresso coffee machine.
It has been recently completely renovated not only in the systems but also in the interior design, and it has, among other things, two large closets for guests who stay for longer stays.
The loft is on the first floor of a palace built around the eleventh century by the Camilla family and it remains today the oldest witness in the world of 'tower house'. The staircase and the facade should be restored soon. It exposes to the south, and is therefore very sunny; it overlooks a small square full of green, where you can stop and get some 'fresh in the summer days and that is closed to the public at night. In the morning you will be awakened by singing birds! It is located in the pedestrian zone (with shops and historic workshops) and therefore enjoys complete silence; However, the taxi can take you straight to the front door. In less than five minutes you can reach several public parkings and the main metro stations and buses. It is the ideal base for exploring on foot the area of the Aquarium (3-5 min), the center (3-5 min) and the museum area. The Cathedral of San Lorenzo is 100 m away. With the old lift sung by the poet Caproni, you can reach "Spianata Castelletto" in just a few minutes, which offers an incomparable view of the entire city.
NOTE 1: It is possible to book a parking space in the silos of the Via Marina Park at 15 Euro per day. The Silos is 700m (8 min walk) from the apartment.
NOTE 2: Large groups can also book the loft on the second floor in the same building (ad nr. 1489506). There are 13 beds alltogether, 6 here and 7 in the other loft.
To compute the correct total quote, please add the quote for this loft + the one for the other loft, always entering the correct number of persons in each apartment.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Paola
My name is Paola. I spent in Vico Indoratori my first 6 years of marriage. When our second child arrived, we moved to a larger apartment. The loft has become my studio - here I come to work and I can spend entire hours undisturbed, forgetting about life outside. Also Lorenzo, our first child, loves coming back to visit the house where he was born: he climbs up the stairs and goes back to what has been his first room. Of our three children he is the only one who lived the sounds and colors of the old town, he is the only one who has memories of this apartment dunked in centuries of history.
I graduated in Computer science and I am currently working as IT at an international school. I speak german, english and french, I spent long periods abroad and I love meeting people from around the world and showing them corners and secrets of a city that is known to be reserved and closed.
I love traveling myself and discovering the secrets of other countries and cultures. I love photography and each trip represents for me a new oportunity. I love reading, music and sport, in particular we very ofthen spend the best days of the year sailing on our J80 boat.

Why they chose this property
An overview of the surroundings.
The ideal stay in Genoa is of three, preferably four days. The must does are:
1. Portofino and its surroundings, with Camogli, San Fruttuoso and, possibly, Santa Margherita: 1 day visit. You can reach Portofino by car, by train or by ferry from the Expo, two minutes from the apartment. You can also hike on the promontory of Portofino, or stroll through the villages, transfering from one to the next by car, train or ferry. Keep in mind that San Fruttuoso is only accessible on foot or by sea.
2. Cinque Terre: 1 day visit. The best way to reach Cinque Terre is by train, with an Intercity to the first village, Monterosso. To reach all the villages on foot it takes about 5-6 hours. The nicest as well as shortest path (30 min) is between Rio Maggiore (the last village) and Manarola.
3. Aquarium and the historic center: 1 day, i.e. half a day for the aquarium and another half for the historic center. For lovers of architecture and history, however, I suggest a whole day for the old town, visiting Via Garibaldi and its museums.
If you want to stay a few days longer, you can not miss Bocadasse (half a day, or better, one evening), reachable by bus or by foot along the waterfront); Villa Pallavicini in Pegli (half day), accessible by train, bus, car, or ferry from the Expo; a quick ride with the Castelletto lift to see the whole city at your feet! The cimitery of Staglieno, one of the largest monumental cemeteries in Europe a real open-air museum.
Remember, finally, that from Genoa you can reach even the French Riviera and Pisa in just a couple of hours, and in both directions there are wonderful stops, such as for instance Dolceacqua, or Sestri Levante, Lerici and Portovenere.
