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

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

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

I fell in love with Genoa while staying at Robert’s place . Th location was so convenient, 3 minute walk to the Cathedral San Lorenzo and a short walk to other sights and the train stations. Roberto was always available to answer questions and even when I locked myself out. He was there to let me in within the hour. Always have the key when you shut the door! The apartment had everything I needed for my month’s stay. Thank you Robert for providing me with a trouble free stay!

Very nice flat, perfectly located, 5 min to Porto antico, 5 min to the old town, 20 min to either train station. Ferrare metro stop is a good one if you are taking the Volabus to/from airport. Roberto and Camilla kindly collected me from the airport and showed me the flat. It was great. They had left milk and drinks and breakfast things for me. The flat is fully equipped so it really I like being home. It’s very loud at night as there are lots of bars and restaurants just next to it - so consider this if you are a light sleeper (i am not). Could not be faulted.

Very cute apartment, centrally located, amazing hosts.
We could not be more impressed with the hospitality of our hosts. And while you should expect the apartment to be small (the ceilings, in particular, are a bit low where the old wooden supports are), you cannot beat the amazing location. You are very centrally located a short walk away from everything in the city center, it is a truly lovely spot. A quick tip: if you're looking for a great, inexpensive local restaurant, try Trattoria da Maria. I was really impressed by the quality of the food, and the price, plus the dishes are almost all typical from the Liguria region.

Other than the bathroom it's a very nice place to stay in for a couple of days in Genoa.

Overall this was an amazing stay. The apartment was clean and full of everything we needed and more
Roberto and Laura were amazing. They met us at the metro station and walked us to the apartment to help set us up. The apartment was very clean and they provided us with little pastries, refreshments and coffee pods for breakfast. They had a lot of food recommendations and little pamphlets of stuff to sightsee. The apartment has some history to it and was the perfect size for 3 adults. We were treated like family and they responded very quickly to our questions and needs. 10/10 we would come back to stay here in the future and recommend to everyone !

The apparment is small but just what we were looking for. Everything is very clean and looks very new! Cozy and functional. The only problem was the height of the ceiling, quite low.

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.

Wundervolles Apartment, von ganz tollen Gastgebern
Das Apartment liegt wunderbar inmitten der Altstadt. Eigentlich kann man alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sehr gut zu Fuß erreichen. Die Zimmer waren sauber, die Küche gut ausgestattet. Alles in allem ideal für einen Städte Urlaub. Laura und Roberto sind wundervolle und nette Gastgeber. Wenn doch nur alle so wären. Sie hatten hilfreiche Tipps parat und haben uns stets geholfen, sofern wir Fragen hatten.
