You can stay in a palace in Italy for under £35pp a night | The Sun

YOU can stay in a palace in Italy that looks like it's been plucked from a painting.

It won't break the bank either at £35 each per night.


The apartment, which is found inside Palazzo Angelo Giovanni Spinola in Genoa in northern Italy, dates back to 1576.

It's just one of 42 buildings along the Via Garibaldi that are known as the Rolli Palaces.

Decorated with ornate paintings, these palaces were used by royalty, diplomats, and ambassadors who were visiting Genoa in the 16th and 17th Centuries.

But in recent years, the buildings have become a popular tourist attraction in the city.

While holidaymakers can book themselves onto a walking tour of the palace, one resident has started renting their palace apartment on Airbnb.

Set on the second floor of the Palazzo Angelo Giovanni Spinola, the apartment has a living room with a sofa bed, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

While the apartment itself is fairly modern, the entrance on the ground floor still has the building's original features.

The entrance hall of the apartment building is decorated with alfresco paintings and it also has a "spectacular staircase".

The property is a short walk away from two train stations (Genoa Brignole and Genoa Piazza Principe) and there are several other attractions nearby, including several other palaces and museums.

Instagram user luxury_listings shared a video of the apartment online showcasing its entrance hall.

Other former guests gave the palace rave reviews, saying: "Stayed there and it was awesome."

While another added: "It’s a dream to walk into the spectacular lobby and up the staircase several times a day. I felt like I lived in a museum."

A three-night stay starts from £412 but sleeps four so costs £34.33 per night per person.

The apartment is listed as the Unesco Apartment: Via Garibaldi – Genoa Center on Airbnb.
