This petit studio is in the heart of Milan’s fashion district. The neoclassical mansions of the surrounding Quadrilatero della Moda house designer fashion boutiques, antique shops and chic cafés. Beyond this, the Teatro alla Scala is just a five-minute walk and it’s ten minutes to the Duomo. A stay in the fashion capital of Italy needs a bijou apartment to rest your head. Shelves set in the pristine white wall above the bed display books and artworks as though it were a chi chi little gallery. Long French windows let in lots of natural light and open up to a Juliet balcony – open these wide and enjoy a morning espresso on the bistro table to the sound of the city waking up.

Home truths:
*The apartment is a studio, so space is limited
*The TV is only small - TV lovers might want to look elsewhere
*There is not a lot of space in the bathroom to store toiletries, just a little shelf
*There is a kitchenette with a hob, sink and fridge, but no oven or microwave
