Santa Margherita Ligure • Genova
Apartment/Loft
GENOVA
L'elisir d'amore
A magnificent 15th‑century apartment, located on the first noble floor of Palazzo Basadonne (from 1590 included in the Rolli) in the heart of Genoa’s historic centre, surrounded by the two splendid 10th‑century churches of San Giorgio and San Torpete and dozens of historic shops. Just steps away from the city’s most important historical sites, the Old Port and the Genoa Aquarium, the small square lively with its characteristic establishments is both tranquil and picturesque.
The apartment has been completely refurbished while retaining its original charm. An accommodation for connoisseurs not suited to those seeking a quick, 'hit-and-run' stay but rather a precious dwelling with a rich history capable of immersing the visitor in a magical realm. Indeed, the palace overlooks piazza San Giorgio, surrounded by two splendid churches: the Church of San Giorgio and the Church of San Torpete.
The entrance features an original floor and 15th‑century columns, while the ceiling of the main hall is entirely adorned with a magnificent 17th‑century painting.
An unexpected curiosity is the small peephole located just before the hall’s entrance, which allowed the noble owners of the time to see who was ascending the main staircase.
THERE IS NO SEPARATE BEDROOM, as can be seen from the photographs; in the main hall, approximately 100 square meters in size, there is a mezzanine where the guest will find a beautiful original Japanese bed with tatami and a queen‑size futon mattress for two.
Furthermore, in the TV area of the small lounge adjacent to the kitchen and bathroom, there is a very comfortable king‑size double sofa bed for another two people.
The newly renovated kitchen is equipped with gas hobs, an electric oven, a state‑of‑the‑art Nespresso machine and a moka pot; the fridge and washing machine are located in the adjacent large storage room where guests can store their luggage and find all the necessary cleaning supplies.
The spacious bathroom, with its separate bathtub and shower enclosure, has also been completely refurbished while retaining its original style.
Between the kitchen and the main hall, there is a storage room where guests can find an iron, an ironing board, and a clothes rack.
Notes
Inside the property there are paintings and antique objects; for this reason, we ask our valued guests to treat this accommodation as if it were their own. The radiators are fitted with state‑of‑the‑art thermostatic controls.
In addition to being a unique place in its own right, it is also located in a strategic spot in historic Genoa: just a stone’s throw from the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and San Matteo, surrounded by dozens of historic shops and traditional eateries, and conveniently close to both the Aquarium at the Old Port and Genova Principe Railway Station.
The exact location will be provided after booking.
