Around 1890 they bought a small land with a small house and builded around and on top creating a unique in architectural features mansion. The 1st floor of the mansion which is no longer offered as a rental has 10 different rooms with Fresco paintings made 130 years ago by Genovese artists. It has been published in different magazines, architecture books and famous people like Vivienne Westwood, Pamela Anderson, photographer Mara Desipris and other have stayed there. Now we offer a small part from the ground floor, 2 suites with en-suite bathrooms and the garden house as rentals. The studios: Consisted of a double bed.
