LGBTQ+ Friendly La Piccionaia is located on the top floor of a historic building, nestled in the narrow alleyways that tell centuries of life. In the heart of the historic center, as it is for all, La Piccionaia is no exception: the buildings climb toward the sky without elevators, only ancient, silent staircases that, step by step, will lead you to a corner of beauty. The small effort of the climb will be amply rewarded by a unique brightness, quiet views, and an intimate atmosphere far from the noise of the street. A true haven of peace. If you're looking for the authentic soul of Genoa, we await you "up high," where light lives and the city reveals itself in its truest form. The rooftop terrace, a rare treasure among the caruggi, will gift you with breathtaking views of the nearby Basilica of San Siro and the city’s rooftops: an open space where you can sip a coffee in the morning, read in the sun, or, while sipping a glass of good wine, enjoy the sunset that lights the city in a thousand shades. Bright, quiet, and immersed in the timeless atmosphere of the old town, La Piccionaia will be the perfect starting point to discover Genoa from above... with the heart close to its truest soul.

Every guest I welcome is not just a visitor, but becomes a new friend. I like to think that once they leave, they carry a piece of Genoa in their heart. For me, hospitality is much more than a gesture: it’s an art, a unique opportunity to show my city through the eyes of those discovering it for the first time, helping them uncover not only the places but also the emotions that make them special. For any need, I will always be at your disposal and easily reachable by phone. Additionally, I can reach you in just a few minutes, as I live only 100 meters away. During check-in, it will be necessary to arrange a phone appointment so I can accompany you to the apartment.

The Maddalena district is one of the six ancient neighborhoods that make up the urban fabric of Genoa's historic center. Although it retains all the typical characteristics of the old town, the area has undergone many transformations over the centuries, which have shaped the image it presents to us today. The district borders to the south with the Molo district, to the east with Portoria, to the north with San Vincenzo, and to the west with Pré. This part of the city developed, as often happens with human settlements, as a village around a passage area: the Roman road that connected the western part of the city to the eastern part, passing outside the city.
