About
Il Genio - Residenza D'Epoca
Il Genio - Residenza D'Epoca is a three-star property set in a quiet internal courtyard on Via San Frediano, on the second floor of a historic building. It offers just nine rooms, giving it a more intimate, residential feel than a conventional hotel. The location is practical for exploring Pisa on foot: the Lungarno Mediceo is 550 metres away, and the Piazza del Duomo, home to the Leaning Tower, is a short walk from the front door.
Inside, the residence is equipped for self-sufficient stays. Every room comes with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms also have a patio or terrace, and the kitchenette area includes a dining table, cookware, and kitchen utensils. There is no on-site restaurant, but the surrounding streets of Borgo Stretto offer plenty of dining options within easy reach.
