Situated in the sweetly sedate district known as ‘Incurabili’ between the Guggenheim Collection and the glinting waters of the Zattere promenade – and distinguished by its adorable little wall-mounted wooden shrine to St. Rita of Cascia – this exquisite apartment with its own private garden sleeps 4 (+1) guests in air-conditioned accommodation arranged over 2 floors.

Furnished with wooden sun-loungers for reclining al fresco, plus ample garden seating and a dining suite beneath a lantern-lit pergola of vines, it’s outdoor living at its loveliest!

•        A glazed door leading you into La Baruffa’s luxurious open-plan living area dressed in masterfully coordinated patterns and high-end hessian shades offset with sassy splashes of colour against off-white timbers up above. Intimate and inviting, the room comprises: 

•        A sofa-furnished sitting / TV area with the apartment’s original decorative fireplace providing a focal point to the room

•        A contemporary-style kitchen in off-white, wood and marble with top of the range appliances (including a Bosch oven), and a breakfast bar with stools

•        A dining area just to the side with banquette seating and a dining table for 6 guests 
•        A charming studio-cum-bedroom – ideal for a senior member – decorated in a fetching mix of blue and linen colours, and with a single day bed plus an en suite marble bathroom with a shower enrobed in iridescent ‘mermaid tail’ tiling just waiting for you to make a splash!

And to the other –
