Designed in a playful industrial style, with steel beams overhead, exposed bricks and cheerful pops of colour, this quirky apartment exudes both Milanese charm and modern cool. That’s a hard-to-beat combination, if you ask us. Fall in love with the views over neighbouring rooftops, and chill out in-between sightseeing among plush furnishings that invite you to kick back with a glass of vino.

Located on a side street off Corso di Porta Ticinese, this unique apartment is a two-minute walk from historical Parco delle Basiliche and the Columns of San Lorenzo – one of the most lively spots in the city – and one particularly popular for its selection of trendy bars. The famous Navigli district is just ten minutes away, with its paintbox terraced buildings and buzzy waterfront eateries. When you want to explore the historic city centre, hop on the metro at Missori and find yourself among iconic architecture and café-lined piazzas in no time.
