Greensleeves Milan, Lombardy

Holiday Rental Description

Where pothos vines spill from planters above and potted shrubs occupy every nook and cranny, this flourishing, rustic home has a barefoot charm that feels a million miles away from the fashion capital of the world outside. Inside, it’s refreshingly stripped back, with eighteenth-century cotto tiles, antique furniture and a charming country style kitchen. At the rear, there’s a sunshine yellow patio for you to reflect on simple pleasures with a glass or two of Lombardy wine. When it’s time for dinner, you’re a stone’s throw from traditional Milanese eateries and a five-minute metro ride from the city’s cutting-edge restaurants—perfect for a last supper. Before a night at the opera and a spot of shopping in the nearby, luxurious Quadrilatero della Moda, take a stroll through the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens, which are so close to your apartment, they’re practically your own.

Home truths:
*The double beds are small with not much wriggle room
*While the home can sleep eleven, we think it’s best to stick to the maximum of eight to ensure the comfort of each guest
*Breakfast and dinner can be arranged by your host for an additional cost
