Wonderful Penthouse In The Heart Of Genoa’s Historic Centre

This unique property is situated in a historic building on the prestigious Via Cairoli and bears witness to the building’s transformation alongside the urban fabric of Genoa’s entire historic centre since the Middle Ages.

The flat has been beautifully refurbished and retains great charm, thanks in part to the attention to detail and the architectural choices that characterise the interiors. The property, which covers an area of approximately 120 square metres, is situated on the fifth and top floor and is accessed via a typically Genoese staircase. The possibility of installing a lift at a reasonable cost is currently under discussion, and a lift has recently been successfully fitted in another part of the building. Upon entering this delightful home, just a few steps from the entrance, you’ll find the first bathroom, complete with a bath and a window. The main level comprises the living area, which is very spacious and light-filled, cleverly divided between a lounge with a fireplace and a separate area dedicated to a kitchen that doubles as a living space and a dining area. The sleeping area comprises two spacious and extremely light-filled double bedrooms. The property is completed by a utility room and a second bathroom. The living area provides access to the marvellous private terraces, the main one of which measures approximately 90 square metres and is the true highlight of the property, offering views across the whole of Genoa, over its rooftops, bell towers, mountains and the sea. The main terrace also features a small wooden shed used for storage, and is perfectly equipped to host social gatherings. The building still retains all the architectural features that tell its story, from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to the 18th century: marble and slate staircases, exposed brickwork and plasterwork, stone capitals and marble columns.

In this flat, living surrounded by history and beauty, in the heart of Genoa’s historic centre, is a simple reality.
