Modern, bright and wonderfully central, this apartment in Milan’s elegant Brera neighbourhood is just the ticket for those looking to make the most out of the city’s most iconic sights. 

Wood floors, bright white walls and a chic, minimalist aesthetic create an inviting welcome from the moment you walk through the door, with ample natural light shining through the large windows. We love the architectural details here – like the living room’s wall niche and the in-built shelves with their books and ornaments – creating a calm flow in this main space. 

Mornings call for espressos and locally bought pastries at the sunny kitchen table, while the bedrooms invite a blissful night’s sleep in their comfortable beds. You’ll love waking up to Milan rooftops views from your fourth-floor position and being able to see the city’s countless sights up close thanks to your prime locale.

Speaking of sightseeing, you’re just a five-minute walk from Milan's swish Fashion District, a thirteen-minute stroll from Sforzesco Castle, while the iconic Duomo is fourteen minutes away on foot.

This compact home is located in Porta Venezia, known for its lively atmosphere. The kitchen here is well set up for snacks and light bites, and for dinner, Porta Venezia’s vibrant restaurant scene has you covered. While the sofa bed in the living area can sleep a third guest, the only bathroom is accessed via the bedroom, so at full capacity, privacy would be limited. It’s also worth noting that children under 2 aren’t allowed here. We think this home is best suited to a couple or solo traveller wanting a vibrant place to stay with easy access to Milan’s must-sees.

In the heart of Milan's Brera district, this contemporary apartment is perfect for those wanting to drop off their suitcases and head out to explore. Light and bright, there’s even a cosy balcony here – ideal for morning cappuccinos or evening aperitifs. Be prepared that if you’re a party of four, two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room here. Still, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. Just a short distance away you’ll find Sempione Park, while historic Sforzesco Castle is a must-see in Milan.

Situated right in the heart of Milan, this three-storey townhouse is brimming with natural light and architectural atmosphere. Recently remodeled with a keen eye for detail, the interior details and thoughtful decor offers guests a truly special experience in the middle of this bustling city. Offering three bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom, there’s plenty of home comforts too – but perhaps this home’s best feature is its location. It’s a ten-minute walk from Milan Cathedral and Sforzesco Castle, and there are plenty of Milanese cafes and restaurants to choose from in the immediate area.

And when it comes to rest and relaxation, this apartment has everything you could need to settle in and unwind. There’s a Nespresso coffee machine, a Sonos sound system and a dedicated desk for remote workers. Plus, your host is on hand to help organise sweet extras like grocery deliveries, a private chef and housekeeping.

The open-plan living space is flooded with natural light – it’s a great place to relax after a busy day.

Welcome Hamper

Looking to stay right in the heart of Milan? We’ve found you just the right spot in town. Overlooking the beautiful church of San Giorgio al Palazzo and less than five-minutes away from the Duomo, lies this light-filled penthouse. Spread out across the top floor of an elegant building, the home is made for a family or a group of friends set on exploring the city.  We particularly loved the living spaces which make for easy socialising. The original marble fireplace and custom-made bookcases create the perfect setting to come together for a few pre-evening drinks. And surprisingly, for somewhere this central we found the apartment very quiet. It really is the perfect retreat within the hustle and bustle of Milan.

There’s no need to hire a car for a stay in this apartment in Milan’s old town – most of the must-see sights can be reached on foot and there’s a Metro station a minute’s walk away. Located on the top floor of a historical building, you’re away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below so it’s surprisingly quiet for a city centre pad. The minimalist decor here won’t be to everyone’s taste, but we love the mix of white walls and bold window frames. And the large roof terrace is the perfect place to enjoy an aperitivo before heading out for dinner at one of the many local restaurants.

The Art of Milan

This light and bright apartment is an ideal base for up to four people on a Milan city break. Sure, at full occupancy, two guests will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, but we think this home’s enviable location more than makes up for it. You’ll find Indro Montanelli Gardens just a short walk from the apartment, perfect for a morning stroll or jog, while many of Milan’s key attractions are within easy reach on foot or a short metro ride away. 

Milan Spirit

A few steps from Colonne di San Lorenzo and the Basilica di San Lorenzo, this apartment puts you in one of Milan's coolest districts. The surrounding streets are dotted with vintage shops, laid-back trattorias and buzzing dive bars – though all the landmarks are within easy reach with a metro station and tram stops nearby. We love the sunlit living space – made even brighter by the yellow paint – as well as the two well-sized bedrooms. It's a lively area, and the apartment is above one of the neighbourhood's late-night spots. We think it's a better fit for guests who don't mind a bit of noise.

Concordia is really charming – Milco is a wonderful host, and she’s done a really good job at making this flat very welcoming. It’s worth mentioning though that the little space between the bedroom and the living room is a bit strange. It feels like it should be a second bedroom, with some bunk beds against the wall, but it’s actually a hallway, and the only place from which you can enter the bathroom. Given the size of the place, we’d only really recommend people using the bunk beds if completely necessary.


Concordia

This delightful apartment feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle but boasts a remarkable location in central Milan. It’s housed in a turn-of-the-century building overlooking two 18th-century villas and their gardens – there’s a balcony to enjoy the view. The apartment combines old-world charm with contemporary convenience, with modern amenities that’ll make your stay comfortable alongside charming details like ornate mouldings and tall windows. You’ll be just a ten-minute walk from Museo del Cenacolo Vinciano, which is home to Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, The Last Supper. There’s a tram stop and two metro stations within easy reach, which makes seeing further afield a breeze. We think it's perfect for a couple seeking a home-from-home in Milan. 

Memories of Milan

Art museums, designer shops, fantastic restaurants – Milan's Brera neighbourhood is the place to be if you love the finer things in life. It's where you'll find this no-frills apartment, situated just a short walk from tram stops and a metro station. While two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, we don't think you'll have to compromise on space. There are desks in each bedroom if you plan to work from home, a sleek kitchen if you fancy rustling up dinner, and even a terrace where you can enjoy an alfresco aperitif.

The Prodigy

Juicer

Ideally located just ten minutes from the stunning Duomo di Milano, this simple yet chicly presented apartment puts you in a prime spot to soak up the best of the city’s fashionable energy. 

Wood floors, clean white cabinetry and contemporary furnishings offer an inviting welcome in the open-plan living space. Start mornings over freshly made coffee and locally bought pastries at the breakfast bar and spend evenings curled up on the sofa with a glass of Italian wine before setting off to discover the countless restaurants nearby. We love the bedroom’s pink and blue feature wall, setting a serene scene for a dreamy night’s sleep. 

Aside from the nearby Duomo, you’ve got a wealth of other historic and cultural hotspots within easy reach, including Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Sforzesco Castle, the Teatro alla Scala and the Quadrilatero della Moda.


Pastel Symphony

Located just steps from Piazza San Babila and the iconic Milan Cathedral, this fuss-free apartment drops you into the heart of the city. Ideal as a base for families or friends, just bear in mind that at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. There’s also no oven, but with a whole host of Italian eateries on your doorstep, who wants to be cooking anyway? Locally, you can reach plenty of sights on foot, or hop on the nearby metro for jaunts further afield. 

Milanese Magic

Set amid the historical attractions of Milan's San Vittore district, this sleek apartment is a great choice for families and groups of friends ticking off the major sights. The stylish living and dining area caught our eye, as well as the sociable kitchen island which is ideal for group breakfasts before setting off for a busy day in the city. When you're ready to explore, landmarks such as the Sforzesco Castle and Santa Maria delle Grazie Church (home of The Last Supper) are within easy walking distance. 

Fashion Flagstaff

Overlooking the lively Vincenzo Monti, this apartment ticks a lot of boxes. For starters, the minimalist design features a touch of mid-century modern style – we're big fans of the floor-to-ceiling windows in particular. There are a few drawbacks, but nothing major – the kitchen is on the small side and there isn't a TV. But with shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby, you'll have all you need at your fingertips. Keen to sightsee? Sforzesco Castle is a ten-minute stroll away, while the Duomo is walkable in thirty.

Set on Milan's famous Viale Luigi Majno, just five minutes from the beautiful Giardini Indro Montanelli and the conveniently located Palestro metro station right on your doorstep, it's perfectly suited for those after a quintessentially Italian stay in the heart of the city.

The apartment is decorated in a typical Milanese style, with antique furnishings, teeming bookshelves and elegant pieces of fine art, creating an old-world interior with heaps of character. Take it easy in the living space – perhaps you'll flop down on the sofa with a coffee table read, or pull up a bistro-style chair at the dining table, mapping out the day's agenda as you slurp a cappuccino. 

Elsewhere, you'll find a grand home office space for those keeping one eye on work, and two comfortable double bedrooms with navy blue-painted walls and sumptuous silk bedding. After a quick snooze in the quiet bedrooms, head off for a jam-packed afternoon of sightseeing. Walk across the billowing gardens and internal courtyard to the metro and reach many of the city's cultural attractions in no time at all, including the Duomo di Milano and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – both ten minutes from your door. 

Bella Milano

Private Dryer

There’s an incredible amount of natural light in this chic, pared-back apartment that makes the whole space dazzle. With its floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, the open-plan living area gives you privileged views across Milan’s rooftops and a living backdrop to admire from the comfort of the sofa or while enjoying a meal at the stylish round dining table. 

The two bedrooms, meanwhile, have a similarly modern aesthetic, with an en-suite main bedroom letting you wake up to more tall window views and a second bedroom equipped with a desk space should you need to catch up on work. 

You’ve also got access to a communal rooftop terrace – the ideal spot to take in sunset views of the Duomo di Milano over a celebratory Spritz before going out to sample the local restaurant scene. 

When it comes to sightseeing, you couldn’t ask for a more central location. The Duomo di Milano is a seven-minute walk away, the elegant ​​Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a five-minute stroll, the Teatro alla Scala is walkable in eight and the fashionable Quadrilatero della moda is four minutes away on foot.


Danza di Luce

Step-Free Access

Nestled in the heart of Milan’s vibrant Moscova district, this home makes the most out of its central location. You can easily reach the Old Town from here, and the area is abundant in great shops and restaurants. This pad is ideal for a group of friends who travel together and yet want to also enjoy privacy – composed of three separate apartments, each with its own kitchen and living area, the place offers everyone a space of their own. Note that you’ll need to climb stairs here.

The Artworks

Exercise Equipment

Wellness & Fitness

All but a five-minute walk to the Corso Venezia – part of the city's upscale Quadrilatero della moda shopping district – this enviable apartment sits right at the heart of the fashion hubbub. Locally, the surrounding area is lovely, benefitting from calm squares, grand architectural statements, and the historic centre is easy to get to on foot – the Duomo di Milano is a twenty-minute stroll away. Back home, you'll find a bright and roomy living space with light neutral tones, soft thoughtful furnishings, chic replica prints and a stylish Castiglioni lamp. The kitchen is colourful and uplifting, with pops of red, plenty of sunlight coming in through the window and a charming dining spot to enjoy breakfast while planning out the day's trips. The bedrooms have their own personalities, with a children's bunk-bed room that will quickly put the kids at ease. 

Parabola

Underfloor Heating

Boasting a wonderfully central location just a five-minute walk from the Duomo di Milano, this modern, welcoming apartment is ready to give you a stylish stay in one of the world’s most famous fashion capitals. 

Wood floors, a soothing neutral palette and chic contemporary furnishings create a sophisticated first impression in the large open-plan living area where white Italian leather sofas beckon some serious lounging over a glass of wine and a dining table waits to host sociable soirées. The four bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back yet effortlessly elegant ensuring you get a restful night’s sleep and there are desk spaces in two of them should you need to catch up on work. 

When it comes to sightseeing, make a beeline for the nearby Duomo or walk thirteen minutes to visit the Sforzesco Castle. You’re also just a fifteen-minute walk from the city’s famous Fashion District, while the Teatro alla Scala is nine minutes away on foot. 


Allegretto

If you’re in search of a well-connected city stay, this apartment delivers a great solution. Located on Corso Garibaldi, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to cute Italian cafes, shops and restaurants. It’s also within easy reach of Parco Sempione and you’ll find the public transport ensures quick links with the rest of Milan. It’s worth noting the apartment is basic, but it’s ideal for couples or solo travellers with the handy addition of a sofa bed for one guest in the living room. 


Italian Heart

Swimming Pool

Between the canals of Navigli and Bocconi University, this apartment is in a privileged position. It's pretty spacious, with much of the floors covered in a beautiful herringbone parquet and a couple of nods to Milan's status as a fashion capital in the form of couture-themed artworks on the living room wall. The dining area is especially chic, thanks to the tall windows, and would make the ideal place to serve up a fresh Italian feast. It's wonderfully quiet here, but the sights and sounds of Milan are not far away – a twenty-minute walk will bring you to the famous Duomo and Zona Tortona Design District. 


Ursa Major

Outdoor Shower

The first thing you'll notice about this Milan pad is the enormous windows in the living area. We loved how they filled the room with light, and the views aren't bad either – you're overlooking the leafy Piazza Santa Maria Beltrade, right in the heart of Milan. 

Clean lines, cream tones and contemporary stylings give this flat a very relaxing atmosphere. We found it to be an excellent respite after a busy day wandering Milan, and the bedrooms were perfectly comfortable. The kitchen is a little basic – it lacks a proper oven and the fridge is small – but with delicious restaurants right on your doorstep, we doubt you'll get up to much cooking. 

But the location is the best part of all. It's a quick five-minute walk to the Duomo and six on foot from the boutiques in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. You're so central, it's incredibly easy to get anywhere in the city either by foot or by public transport – so easy, in fact, that you won't even need a car.

Maestro Antico

Discover Milan on foot from this sleek apartment. The central location means there's potential for some noise, but it's ideal if you're travelling for business or you need somewhere to rest your head after sightseeing around the city. You won't have an oven – but you will have a hob – and you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding streets. Plus, Sforzesco Castle, Teatro alla Scala, and Milan's famous Duomo are all within easy walking distance.

Piazza Rose

This contemporary studio apartment in the upscale Quadrilatero Della Moda neighbourhood is perfect for a couple or solo traveller. The apartment's location is ideal for exploring the vibrant city of Milan, with easy access to Teatro alla Scala, Duomo di Milano, and the shopping street, Via della Spiga. Although the apartment is compact and there is no kitchen on offer here, it provides a comfortable base to relax between adventures – the balcony is a big check in our books, too. With excellent transport links to the rest of the city via the nearby Montenapoleone metro station, this pad is the perfect home for your Milan city break.

The Modern Renaissance

With the impressive Duomo di Milano just a short walk or a five-minute metro ride away, you’ll be well-positioned with this apartment to take in many of the city's attractions. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes to explore within the locale too. This home offers a comfortable stay, so you may not want to be a rolling stone once you settle into the comfy sofa. Although, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed at full capacity. Otherwise, this place is a great Milanese bolthole.

The Heart of Milan

This stylish apartment offers a sophisticated base in the heart of Milan. Located near San Babila and the Duomo, it provides easy access to the city’s most iconic sights – you can walk to the Duomo in no time. There are also excellent transport links nearby, so it’s a breeze to visit those further-afield sights. We love the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, which is perfect for spending time together in between sightseeing and shopping. Construction work is ongoing until May, which may affect the view from the living room and bedroom two.

On the edge of Brera and Garibaldi, Artemis is wonderfully placed for both the nightlife that fills the area, and for getting to other parts of the city. The flat has a sense of individuality to it – the design is sophisticated, with lots of beautiful objects that elevate it beyond what you might reasonably expect from a place of its size. It’s all fairly valuable, so for that reason the host, Rita, would prefer to rent to adults, or at least not young children.


Artemis

We don't think you'll find a more quintessentially Milanese address than this. Not only does the apartment sit on the seventh floor of the Galleria del Corso shopping arcade, but there's an impressive view to be had out through the windows of the iconic Duomo standing tall among the city rooftops. 

Rather fittingly for such a prestigious location, the interior is luxurious in style, with a wealth of wooden floors, mid-century furnishings and chic lighting. The svelte grey bathroom wouldn't look out of place in some of the city's most covetable hotels, while the kitchen has everything you need in case you want to take a night off from the local restaurants.

As well as a huge range of shops that sit a few floors beneath the home, there's an even larger collection in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, only six minutes' walk away. The Piazza del Duomo sits the same amount of time away, as does the Royal Palace.


Fashionista's Paradise

Home Cinema Setup

The location of The Young Artist really sets it apart. It’s less than ten minutes on foot from the Duomo, but tucked away on a quiet street, hidden from the touristic throngs. The apartment’s light, bright colour scheme has been balanced with homely touches to create a warm environment – it’s a pleasure to return to after a day of sightseeing. There’s no better way to start your morning than with a rich espresso on the quiet balcony. On top of that, Lasija is a wonderful host, who’s always ready to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You’re two doors down from a café and a five-minute walk around the corner to bars and ristorantes. Take a quick ten-minute stroll to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for a spot of shopping in the upscale boutiques or spend a relaxed afternoon in the Sempione Park, reached in just over twenty-five minutes by foot. We recommend grabbing a drink at the kiosk and enjoying the sunshine. 

The Young Artist

Around the corner from Porta Venezia station, and only a few blocks from Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli, Marionette is in a convenient location for getting around the city. It’s not going to set the world on fire in terms of design, but that’s not really the point. Instead, it’s comfortable, very well looked after by Alexey, and in general, it just has a welcoming atmosphere.

This is a delightful little apartment in the shadow of the Sforzesco Castle. The sprawling greenery of Sempione Park is right on your doorstep and the Duomo, Royal Palace and Teatro alla Scala are all within a fifteen-minute walk. We love the apartment’s terrace, which is home to all sorts of pot plants and cacti, and a table and chairs for a cold glass of something (there's a dedicated wine fridge inside). The designer sofas and curated collection of coffee table books in the living room are everything you’d expect in Italy’s capital of style. But it’s the ceiling that draws the eye – a slant of white-washed wood beams adding a delightfully rustic touch, and lending itself to make-shift books shelves in every available nook and cranny. Despite the proximity to both the castle and the Brera district (home to cafés, restaurants and luxury fashion boutiques), this place is in a residential block, so you’re guaranteed a little peace and quiet. 

Chalet Milano

With a great address in the historic centre of Milan, this apartment is within walking distance of some of the city's iconic sights. The Duomo di Milano is around fifteen minutes on foot, while the Castello Sforzesco is just over a five-minute stroll. So that's the location – what about the apartment? Well, there's a well-equipped kitchen for cooking some tasty Milanese cuisine. We'd say this home doesn't really have a homely feel, but it's a comfy place to stay while exploring all that Milan has to offer.

Milanese Whispers

Empatia goes to show how much you can do, even with a small space. The flat’s very bright, and when you’re inside, it’s clear how much work Marta’s put into the place – she designed it all herself. While there are bright colours all over the place, they’re set against fairly neutral backgrounds, so never feel overwhelming. We particularly like the creativity shown with the balcony – repurposing the space like that takes a fair amount of imagination and it pays off.


Empatia

Located in Milan’s famous Fashion District, this bright, elegant apartment is the ideal base for those looking for a stylish, central stay. 

With its parquet floors, contemporary furnishings and French doors letting plenty of light shine in, there’s a luminous elegance to this pared-back yet chic home. 

Kick back on the inviting sofa with your morning espresso and a good book, or better yet, step out onto the private balcony for an alfresco breakfast framed by your street’s tall trees. Dinner time calls for celebratory Italian feasts around the dining table, followed by a bubble bath and a peaceful night’s sleep in the comfortable bedrooms. 

When it’s time for some sightseeing, enjoy some of the city’s best shopping right on your doorstep, or walk just fifteen minutes to gaze up at the beautiful Duomo di Milano. You’re also a fifteen-minute stroll from Sforzesco Castle, while the Giardini Indro Montanelli is three minutes on foot from your door.
