Housed in a typical Milanese railing building located just outside the main city centre, this boutique apartment offers a comfortable base for those seeking an authentic stay away from the tourist crowds.

Inside, chic minimalism is the name of the game with an open-plan living area that gets plenty of light, and its sparkling white walls offset by pops of emerald green and gold accents. Make yourself comfortable on the plump loveseat with a glass of Italian wine, or better yet, perch on the shared front balcony with a sundowner as you take in views of the inner courtyard and the surrounding rooftops.

The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as stylishly pared-back with an exposed brick wall backing a beautifully dressed bed, as well as an en-suite bathroom boasting a relaxing rainfall shower.

When it comes to sightseeing, take a stroll through one of the nearby parks – Parco Trotter is a twelve-minute walk and Parco Lambro is walkable in thirteen – or visit the Casa Museo Boschi di Stefano, thirty minutes away on foot. You’re also a twenty-two-minute Metro ride from both the Duomo di Milano and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, while the famous Quadrilatero della Moda is also just over twenty minutes away by public transport.
