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

Cute and quaint space for our short stop in Genoa. Thank you so much for meeting us at the train station and giving us a short tour on the way to our apartment. We enjoyed the city very much!!

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.

Great hospitality, nice house however the bathroom was too small.
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.

Il Paguro Bernardo una "base strategica"
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.

Super petit appart' de caractère
Appartement avec beaucoup de charme, idéalement placé en plein dans la vieille ville, d'où tout est accessible à pied. Bon nombre de commerces et restaurants à proximité immédiate. Sa disposition sur deux niveaux est très originale, il est équipé de tout ce qu'il faut pour un court séjour. La salle d'eau est vraiment exiguë, mais cela rajoute au charme de loger dans un immeuble ancien, typique du centre historique. Mention spéciale à l'accueil, en français, de Roberto, qui est venu nous chercher à la gare et a fait preuve d'une très grande gentillesse. Grazie mille di tutto, Roberto!

Il Paguro Bernardo è un piccolo e accogliente nido nel centro di Genova. Siamo stati benissimo, la casetta è dotata di tutti i confort, in posizione eccezionale per visitare la città. Roberto e Laura sono stati carissimi e disponibilissimi e li ringrazio davvero tanto per la loro ospitalità. Da consigliare assolutamente e, fra un pò, da ritornarci!

Séjour parfait : bien situé, charmant et hôtes extra!
L'appartement, très bien situé dans le MOLO, est charmant et permet de visiter les lieux historiques à pied. Nos hôtes ont été fantastiques. Non seulement ont-ils offerts de venir nous chercher, mais ils ont eu la gentillesse de retourner à l'aéroport car nos bagages étaient en retard. Le décor de l'appartement est charmant. Petit mais parfait pour un couple. Autour, plein de restos et de magasins. C'était une première à Gênes mais pas une dernière, c'est certain. Merci encore à Laura et Roberto. Grazie mille.

Appartement très agréable pour 2
L'appartement est idéalement situé au cœur de la vieille ville, il est décoré avec beaucoup de goût et l'accueil de Roberto et Laura est très chaleureux. Mais nous avons été un peu à l'étroit à 4. Cela n'a pas posé trop de problème car nous ne sommes restés que 2 nuits. Cependant, il nous a semblé qu'il était davantage conçu pour 2 personnes. Nous avons beaucoup souffert de la chaleur la nuit, très peu atténuée par les ventilateurs mais bon, nous étions en période de canicule... D'autre part, le stationnement de la voiture est un très gros problème à Gênes. Il ne peut se faire que très loin de l'appartement si on veut éviter un gros budget parking.

Roberto e Laura sono host fantastici! Ci hanno accolto con calore e con un gran sorriso
L’ appartamento è nel pieno centro storico di Genova a due passi da tutto. Roberto e Laura sono davvero eccezionali. Ci hanno dato acppuntamento in piazza ed accompagnato a casa. L appartamento è proprio come descritto nell’ inserzione: accogliente, ben rifinito e con tutte le necessità del caso. Abbiamo trascorso davvero un bellissimo soggiorno. Infine mi sono dimenticata il cellulare dentro casa e sono partita e sono stati gentilissimi a spedirmelo a casa. Davvero tutto eccezionale!!
