Piano Nobile Apartment in Palazzo dei Rolli Filippo Lomellini

Set within the prestigious Palazzo Filippo Lomellini, a historic Rolli palace dating back to 1570 in the heart of Genoa, this exceptional apartment beautifully combines historic charm with refined contemporary living. Positioned on the piano nobile and located on the second floor of one of the renowned Palazzi dei Rolli - the historic residences once selected by the Republic of Genoa to host distinguished guests and prominent personalities - the property offers a truly unique living experience immersed in history, culture, and architectural beauty. Opportunities to acquire a residence within one of Genoa’s most prestigious historic palaces are exceedingly rare, making this a truly exceptional offering in the city’s historic centre.

The apartment features a bright and spacious open-plan living area with a fully integrated kitchen, enhanced by a stunning marble countertop, bespoke marble shelving, and elegant full-wood cabinetry. A comfortable bedroom, a beautifully renovated bathroom with shower, WC, and bidet, together with an inviting entrance area offering practical storage space, complete the layout.

The interiors, as well as the palazzo itself, underwent extensive recent renovations and have been tastefully finished to a high standard throughout, featuring beautiful parquet flooring, refined white wooden panel doors, historic wooden-framed windows, and impressive ceilings reaching up to 4.25 metres in height, adorned with original decorative mouldings that create an extraordinary sense of grandeur and sophistication. Both the living area and the bedroom are equipped with integrated air conditioning for optimal comfort.

A charming balcony offers delightful views across Genoa’s historic city centre, adding further character and atmosphere to the property. The bedroom is exceptionally luminous thanks to an impressive almost four-metre-wide glass frontage that floods the space with natural light and enhances the apartment’s airy ambience.

Additional features include lift access, central heating, and a private cellar providing valuable additional storage space. A particularly rare advantage within Genoa’s historic centre is that the palazzo is directly accessible by car from both the front and rear entrances of the building. One of the palace’s most exceptional features is its exclusive collection of communal living spaces, thoughtfully designed to offer both comfort and refinement. Residents can enjoy a stunning shared terrace furnished with umbrellas, tables, and lounge seating - a rare and tranquil retreat in the heart of the historic city centre, perfect for relaxing, socialising, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The palace also offers an extraordinary frescoed reception hall with ceilings reaching almost six metres in height, showcasing remarkable architectural beauty and providing an inspiring and sophisticated setting ideal for remote working, reading, or welcoming guests. Completing the experience is a fully equipped residents’ gym, creating a seamless balance between historic grandeur and contemporary lifestyle convenience.

Ideally located, the property is just moments from Via Garibaldi and its renowned palazzi, within walking distance of the Porto Antico waterfront, and approximately ten minutes from Genova Piazza Principe station, offering both excellent connectivity and immediate access to the cultural and architectural heart of the city.

This property represents a rare opportunity to own a residence of exceptional historical and architectural significance in the vibrant centre of Genoa - ideal both as a sophisticated private home and as a prestigious investment property.
