Portofino apartments

We loved our stay here so much we extended our visit. We often like to stay close to town but not amidst the tourists and noise. We prefer to stay somewhere nice that allows us to enjoy dining out without having broke the bank with the cost of accommodation. This place was perfect. A short walk to the action but also quiet and private. We ate out and travelled the area a lot, but also enjoyed some down time and home cooked meals in the apartment. This studio has everything you need for a longer stay (a well equipped kitchen, washing machine etc), is tastefully decorated and comfortable (has heating and A/C). It is a top floor apartment that has a small balcony and good ventilation. Our hosts were so accommodating they even let us use their garage to store the bicycles we brought with us. In fact, hospitality is their specialty. When Emanuela heard we were arriving by train she and her partner offered to pick us up. Both us and our bikes got a door-to-door chauffeur service both arriving to and leaving from the property. Amazing! If you are looking for a nice, central place that offers value for money and has delightful hosts, look no further.

Giorgio and his daughter Cristina welcomed use and made us feel most welcome. They could not have done more for us. The apartment had everything you might need and had a homely feel. Giorgio provide plenty of extras which were much appreciated. The bus stop is about 100 mtrs from the front door and you need it as Genoa is quite hilly. We were surprised by Genoa and really enjoyed our stay. We were able to park our car in a secure parking garage a short distance from the apartment. We would highly recommend a meal at Nonna Leo’s - details can be found on TripAdvisor. A great night with Fabrizio the chef.
