A mae riva - Your home at the Old Port, in the historic center of Genoa.

Antico of Genoa, a surprising oasis of peace in the historic city center.

This small, bright apartment is on the fifth floor (apartment 10) of a historic building, accessible without an elevator. The apartment features a double bedroom and a living room with a fully equipped kitchenette. In the living room, there is a French sofa bed (one and a half size), ideal for a third person or two children.

Nearby, there are paid parking areas, some with daily rates, where you can safely leave your car and explore the only possible way—on foot—the narrow streets ("caruggi") of ancient Genoa, rich in history, charm, and local establishments.

A mae Riva is the best place not only to discover and experience the heart of the city—the ancient Genoa with its history and stories preserved in its caruggi; majestic, surprising palaces and churches, but also ancient taverns, medieval arcades, city walls, and towers.

And then there are the bakeries with the unmissable focaccia, many small restaurants where you can taste pesto and every other specialty of Genoese cuisine, including farinata, pansoti, cima (sung about by Fabrizio De André), and fish dishes.

A mae Riva also offers an easy opportunity to set sail to the most beautiful spots of the Riviera, from Portofino to the Cinque Terre, from San Fruttuoso di Camogli to Santa Margherita Ligure: the departure point for the boats is just 200 meters away!

Author of tourist guides, gastronomic guides, and books about the singer-songwriters of his beloved city, your host Fabrizio welcomes you with his smile and his tips.
