Villa Balbi Durazzo Gropallo allo Zerbino, commonly known as Villa Lo Zerbino, is a splendid 16th-century aristocratic residence located in the Castelletto district of Genoa. Built between 1599 and 1603 for the Balbi family, the villa has passed through the hands of several noble Genoese families, including the Durazzo and Gropallo, and is now owned by the Castelbarco Albani family.

Nestled in a quiet park above the city, Villa Zerbino offers a serene escape with a view of Genoa and the sea, while remaining close to the city center.
