Genoa: city and sea in one
For centuries, Genoa has been a powerful port city in northern Italy—and you can still feel that heritage everywhere. The impressive Palazzi dei Rolli, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the old harbour area all tell stories of wealth and history. At the same time, Genoa is a modern city with lively markets, independent boutiques and a vibrant food scene. Taste fresh focaccia, enjoy local pesto and try seafood dishes that come straight from the port.
One of the best things about Genoa is that the sea is always close by. With a holiday home by the sea, you can combine the charm of the city with the relaxation of the beach. Spend your morning wandering the historic centre, then head to the Ligurian coast for a swim or a sunny afternoon by the water.
Holiday rentals for every type of traveller
Genoa offers a wide range of accommodation options. For city breaks, there are compact apartments in the centre—ideal if you’re looking for a holiday rental for a city break. Many of the main sights are within easy reach, from the piazzas to the harbour and the welcoming restaurants.
If you’d prefer a little more space, you’ll find holiday rentals on the edge of the city with a balcony or terrace. And for the ultimate coastal stay, there are holiday homes and villas right by the sea—often with views over the Bay of Genoa and the surrounding hills. That way, you can choose between the buzz of the city or a quieter base along the coast.
Discover the highlights of Liguria
Genoa is a fantastic base for exploring Liguria. You can visit the famous Cinque Terre—five colourful villages perched on the cliffs and widely considered among the most beautiful places in Italy. Portofino, with its picturesque harbour and glamorous feel, is also close by.
Nature lovers will find plenty of walking routes along the coast and through the hills. And if you simply want a day to unwind, the Ligurian coastline is dotted with beaches and sheltered bays that are perfect for relaxing.
