Only a minute's walk to Boccadasse beach, this contemporary home resembles a super-slick city apartment more than your typical coastal getaway. The stark white walls and wooden floors are a timelessly stylish combination, while also accentuating the copious amounts of natural light that streams in through the tall windows and glass doors. When it comes to furnishings, you can certainly tell that the interior was recently refurbished, for there's a bright and modern feel throughout — the minimalist kitchen deserves to be singled out for praise. Aside from the seaside spots that dot the coastline, there's a decent choice of trattorias and restaurants in the local area. The centre of the port city of Genoa is also only twenty minutes away on the bus and offers a large old city, monumental squares and an opera house.
