Valery Guest House

A double and a quadruple consisting of two rooms, both with magnificent views over the old town and the harbour. The house has a large terrace for all our guests to enjoy from breakfast to the end of day, perhaps with a good book. Valery Guest House offers 2 rooms with a private bathroom beautifully furnished, spacious and bright. The name Valery Guest House is a tribute to the famous French poet Paul Valery, who stayed for a time in the palace as a guest of relatives. During his stay, on October 5 1892, the poet experienced an event that changed his life forever. It was that night, beaten by a powerful storm, that he described in "La nuit de Genes ". Paul Valery, intellectual, philosopher and poet credited that experience to his decision to deal differently with the poetic world, moving away from it and abandoning poetry for many years. On the facade of the palace of Salita San Francesco it is now placed a plaque in memory of what happened that night. Via Garibaldi now houses major museums (Red Palace and White Palace), art galleries and municipal offices. We are located exactly between the viewpoint of Genoa el entrance to the typical narrow alleyways so characteristic of Genoa. Piazza della Meridiana is a perfect starting point for wandering through the narrow streets discovering churches, piazzas, boutiques and restaurants. The main train station is a 10 minute walk, or by bus (the bus stop is 200 mt.) The subway is a 5 minute walk (or stop Darsena San Giorgio). Port el \ 'aquarium, the' Expo and the ferries to Portofino can be reached easily on foot in 7-8 minutes.
