This apartment is a traditional gem in the historic heart of Milan. Outside, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to bars, restaurants and shops.

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.

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.

This home is enormous. It’s easily the largest home in our Milan collection – it can house a staggering eighteen people if you make full use of the various beds and sofa beds set across the five separate suites. Set over three floors in a Liberty-style villa, each of the suites comes with a certain degree of autonomy (kitchenettes, en-suite bathrooms and the like). It’s not in the city's medieval centre, but there’s no way you'd find this much space if you were much more central. The Tre Torri neighbourhood is relatively residential, but you couldn't be more conveniently positioned to access the city centre – Buonarroti station (on Metro line 1) is just at the end of the road – a two-minute walk away. From here, you can access the Centro Storico – with all its piazzas, palaces, monasteries, basilicas and spectacular cathedral – in a little over ten minutes. This is also where you'll find Milan's fashionable boutiques – it's not known as Italy's style capital for nothing.

The use of marble in Sorbetto is a masterstroke. It cools down the air, providing respite from the hot, dry Milanese summers, as well as giving it a sense of brightness and clarity. There’s also a decent balcony, which might not be huge but looks out into the trees beside the house and adds to the feeling of calm. It is, however, important to be aware that Sorbetto isn’t very central. It’s well-connected by the metro, but getting anywhere on foot will take at least half an hour.

Stay in Milan in style at this apartment located between the historic Arco della Pace and vibrant Chinatown. This fashionable neighbourhood has plenty of lively markets, as well as chic boutiques, cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Attractions such as the Parco Sempione and Sforzesco Castle are also within walking distance. The apartment itself has plenty of room to relax. There’s an open-plan living room, and if it isn’t needed, the second bedroom, which has a sofa bed, doubles up as a snug and a study. Last but not least, the private balcony is the perfect spot for a drink any time of day.

Bright, chic, and bursting with Italian charm, this mezzanine apartment is perfect for couples and solo travellers looking to experience all that Milan has to offer. From the herringbone flooring to the stunning two-storey windows, there’s nothing not to love about the interior here. Catch up on your favourite shows in the open-plan living area or pluck a paperback from the bookcase and head upstairs for a relaxing morning read before setting off for a day of sightseeing. 

You’re within easy reach of all of Milan’s major attractions here, so why not make the most of it? Pass through the Arco della Pace and go for a quiet picnic in Sempione Park or head into the city centre and spend all day gawking at the gorgeous architecture. The choice is yours.

Where do we start with Wave’s Crest? If you can think of it, chances are it’s there (with the frustrating exception of air conditioning). This goes for the standards, like the collection of kitchen appliances, the garden, and the excellent TV, but also for slightly more unusual things, such as the table football, the gym equipment, and the Jacuzzi. Nicoletta and her family live here most of the time, so while you will find some of their things hidden away, it means that the house has been designed to be lived in, and that counts for a lot.


Wave's Crest

Located on the top floor of a historic building, this home is tucked behind Chinatown (the oldest in the country) and just a thirteen-minute walk from Parco Sempione, where you can spend some time wandering through the city’s greenery until you arrive at Castello Sforzesco. You’ll be staying in a lively and local area, a quick twelve-minute walk from the nightlife hubs of City Life and Arco della Pace, but for a lowkey night out you’ll be by the neighbourhood’s buzzing restaurants and bars. Inside, you’ll find this small space has been carefully designed – bright skylights overhead, a custom-built kitchenette and an angular breakfast nook are arranged to make the most of the little footprint. Striking red furniture and calming blue walls transform this modest modern home into a bold, personality-packed base. So relax on the sofa, enjoy breakfast at the counter and fall asleep soundly in the bedroom, feeling right at home. 

Coccola

Enjoy easy links to the best bits of Milan when you stay at this one-bedroom apartment. The Metro and tram are both a short stroll away, so whether you’re here for sightseeing or shopping, getting around the city will be a breeze. The apartment itself is simple yet comfortable, with the added perk of a kitchen for cooking at home (although you’ll find restaurants aplenty if you’d prefer to dine out). The living area might feel a tad compact with the sofa bed set up, leaving you with less space for lounging. But if you’re planning a city break with family or friends and want a convenient place to base yourself, this is a fuss-free option.

Milanese Echo

Near the bustling shopping CityLife shopping district and close to convenient public transport options, this one-bedroom apartment is a modern slice of Milanese city living. Contemporary fittings and stylish furniture make themselves known as soon as you step in, like the plush green velvet sofa or the sleek black and white kitchen – fully-equipped for all your cooking needs. When you’re ready to explore the city, the nearby CityLife district has parks, retail and restaurants ready to satisfy your desires – or hop on the metro at Amendola station to get straight into the thick of things in central Milan. 

Milanese City Life

Perfect for pairs, this apartment is ideal for a fuss-free stay in Milan. It's contemporary and comfortable, albeit a tad plain. The kitchen is well-suited to lighter fare, while the open-plan living space is a sweet spot to unwind after your adventures in Milan. Speaking of, nearby public transit makes it easy to explore. Head to Chinatown for delectable eateries, or venture to CityLife for fantastic shopping. The Duomo is about thirty minutes by tram – it's walkable in an hour if you want to stretch your legs.

Spring in Milano

Set in a 19th-century Époque building in the historic centre of Milan, this apartment makes all the right impressions. Inside, it keeps on delivering with high ceilings and parquet flooring. It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, the last guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge, but we can forgive that for such a spacious apartment. Location-wise, you’re a short walk from the Metro and Cadorna railway station for easy travel across the city. Just a few streets away, you’ll find the grand gardens of Parco Sempione – a favourite local hangout for any downtime.

Duke of Sempione

Despite its somewhat small size, this loft-style apartment is stylish and modern. It's a ten-minute or so walk from Chinatown, though you'll also be well-connected via public transport – Cenisio metro station is walkable in five, and trams stop on the street outside. The living space boasts a comfy sofa, a sleek (albeit compact) kitchen, and a table where you can get together for snacks and wine. One bedroom is situated on the mezzanine over the living area, and while it lacks a bit of privacy, the walk-in wardrobe is a nice touch – you're in the fashion capital of the world, after all. 

Milano Chrome

Sforzesco Castle and Parco Sempione are just two of Milan’s attractions within a short walk from this apartment. And with plenty of cafes and restaurants in this sought-after area, you don't have to cook if you don’t want to. We love the elegant period building this apartment is housed in. There's a large open-plan living room here with high ceilings and period features. And there are views over the communal courtyard from the bedroom. With this place, it’s easy to get the most out of Italy’s fashion capital. 


Churches & Museums

Within easy reach of the best bits of Milan, this one-bedroom apartment makes a great base for a city break. Step outside and you’ll find a subway stop a short walk away, where you can hop on the Metro to visit landmarks like Castello Sforzesco and the Duomo di Milano. Back at home, there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a compact kitchen – but with so many excellent eateries right on your doorstep, you might not need it. The apartment has a clean and modern design, yet still retains some of the building’s original character – see the ornate bedroom ceiling and Juliet balcony, which add authentic charm.

Memory of Milan

Found to the west of Milan on the edge of Chinatown, this second floor apartment is a homely and practical option for exploring Italy's fashion capital. Ideal for a couple or solo traveller – although there's also a single sofa bed for a willing third party – you'll find all the necessary amenities across its two distinct living spaces, plus a fully equipped bathroom. The layout of furnishings may be a bit unusual, but as a place to bed down during your stay, you'll be well looked after – and with landmarks like the Cimitero Monumentale and Arco della Pace both fifteen minute walks away, you won't be far from Milan's unique culture and history.

The Modern Nomad

Trash Compactor

Simple yet stylish, this apartment is perfect for a city break. Its large windows look out over Piazza Gramsci, which is just a two-minute walk away. There are excellent public transport links, so exploring the rest of Milan is as easy as can be – and you’ll be within walking distance of attractions including Sempione Park and Castello Sforzesco. The apartment boasts a crisp, clean style and comes with all the necessities, including a well-equipped kitchen. With four guests staying here, two will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space – if you’re hoping for more space, we’d stick to a guest count of two. 

Milanese Sun

Patio / Terrace

You can admire the views of the city from this home’s balcony, as well as from inside this stylish apartment. This place has a lived-in vibe, so you’ll be sure to feel at home. There’s a well-equipped kitchen to create some Italian cuisine or dine out at the array of restaurants and cafes nearby. Attractions such as the Arch of Peace and Sempione Park are within walking distance as well. The apartment is perfect for a family or friends looking to explore all that Milan has to offer.

The Milanese Boutique

This charming Milanese home has been put together like a composition. Each element runs into the next, seamlessly blending bold design choices. The result is a fetching, bright space that’s at once comfortable and stylish. What’s more, it’s conveniently located in a peaceful residential area within easy reach of the city’s sights. 

If getting a good night’s sleep is important to you, this is a great choice for your city break. The apartment is just off a shared courtyard that’s peaceful and private, so your slumber will be undisturbed. And you’ll need your rest after action-packed days exploring stylish Milan. 

The Amendola metro stop is just a three-minute walk from the apartment, so you can explore the key sights with no trouble at all. The Duomo di Milano and its incredible architecture is a fourteen-minute journey away on the metro, and it takes twelve minutes to reach Castle Sforzesco. There you can wander through the beautiful gardens before seeing some of the city’s most famous artwork. 

For shopping, stroll nineteen minutes to Corso Vercelli. You’ll find high-end boutiques alongside smaller local stores. If you find yourself laden down with shopping bags and in need of a break to refuel, fear not. There are attractive eateries on almost every corner, with more than a few cocktail and wine bars to tempt too. 



Octave

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

Tucked between the historic Arco della Pace and vibrant Chinatown, this apartment places you in one of Milan's trendiest neighbourhoods. Inside, the space is bright and homely, with an open-plan kitchen and living area that opens onto a balcony. The main bedroom is generously sized, while the second living room doubles as an office and can be reconfigured into a double bedroom for extra guests. With lively piazzas, markets and restaurants on your doorstep, you’ll get a real taste of local life – and with the metro just a short stroll away, the rest of the city is within easy reach. It's the best of both worlds.

There’s something wonderfully comforting about Panzerotto. It’s a family home, and wears that distinction with pride. If you’re keen on a pristine, uncluttered environment, it’ll give you fits, but the flat has far more personality than any of the clinical places that are designed purely to be rented out. As you’d expect, the kitchen is very good and feels like it could handle pretty much anything, and while the sloped ceiling upstairs is a bit of a pain, it’s part of the fabric of the flat, which wouldn’t be the same without it.


Panzerotto

This flat is one of those places that makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. It's full of gusto – think vivid greens, bright reds, glitzy gold mirrors and at the centre of it all, a gorgeous jungle-themed wallpaper that adds the perfect amount of pizazz. 

The living room was our favourite spot to relax and unwind after a long day, but the Japanese-style bathroom, Scandi-style kitchen and the cosy bedroom were just as stylish. Although there's nowhere to sit, we enjoyed the small balcony, too – it catches the evening sun and looks out over the bustling city streets, so you can stand with a glass of wine and watch the world pass by. 

Location-wise, you're nestled at the edge of Chinatown and Sempione, so there's a vast array of bars and restaurants of all types within walking distance. Runners can start their morning off with a jog through Parco Sempione (fourteen minutes on foot) before enjoying a day sightseeing – Castello Sforzesco (a twenty-minute stroll), Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (half an hour on foot) and the Duomo (walkable in thirty-five minutes) are all within easy reach.

Luxury Toiletries

The expert hand and attentive eye of the professional designer are clearly at work here. Every corner of this brilliant home is thought out and tuned to attain maximum sleekness. From the green-bluish shades interplay of the sofa and armchairs, to the futuristic bathroom finishings, to the standalone two-tone radiator column: everything has been conceived to express rationality and style. Consistently with its aesthetic, The Blue Rider is not located super centrally, but in an elegant and residential area close to beautiful Parco Sempione and the historic Arco della Pace.

Between Chinatown and the Sempione Park lies Total Eclipse, a calming yet stylish loft. The design is reminiscent of the artisanal workshops that proliferated in Milan in the early 20th century, so there’s a real sense of place - it feels Milanese. It has a very open layout, which adds to the atmosphere but could also be off-putting - sound in particular carries throughout the entire house so light sleepers might have some problems.

This Milanese apartment is located just five minutes from Arco della Pace and beautiful Sempione Park. You’ll be able to see the sights of Milan with no trouble at all, thanks to great transport links – there are metro, tram, and bus options just a stone’s throw from the apartment. When you’re not out soaking up everything the city has to offer, you’ll love calling this loft home. There’s an indoor pool and sauna that make downtime as relaxing as can be, and the decor is modern and cool – though those with a fear of heights may not enjoy the glass flooring. 


Milan Magic

Anna spends most of her time living in Elysium, and as such the place has a real sense of vitality to it. It’s not minimalist – if that’s the vibe you’re after, or if the thought of other people’s things puts you off then this isn’t for you – but the feeling that you’re being genuinely welcomed into the home outweighs all of that. At least for us it does. You can also see the Arco della Pace from the balcony, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe.


Elysium

Experience Milan in this apartment, which is within walking distance of Arco della Pace and Piazzale Giulio Cesare. There are also plenty of local cafes and shops, while public transport links are a short stroll away when you want to explore the rest of the city. After a busy day, there are communal gardens here, as well as a private balcony to relax on, while inside is modern and bright. The living room also sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. This place is ideal for a business professional looking to be near Milan’s business district, but equally, it will suit families and friends looking to live like a local.

Italian Sunlight

Milan's Chinatown is a diverse, well-connected neighbourhood, and this ground-floor apartment is the perfect base for exploring the city. Don't miss the grand Parco Sempione on your way into the city – you can't miss the Arco della Pace at the park entrance. The mezzanine bedroom is a highlight, where there's just enough space to unwind after a busy day. However, there's also a ground-floor bedroom and a sofa bed if you'd rather have a bit more head space. While there's not too much space in the kitchen (and a lack of natural light), you'll find everything you need to cook meals – that's if you don't fancy the numerous pizzerias in the neighbourhood.

Sitting just outside the historic centre, this apartment brings ease and comfort to city living. Outside, it’s a short stroll to the nearest public transport links – ensuring quick connections with the heart of Milan. There are restaurants nearby and it’s possible to walk to Arco della Pace in less than thirty-minutes. Wherever the day takes you, this apartment has everything you could need to switch off and unwind. At full occupancy two guests will be sleeping on the sofa in the living room, but this is a sweet option for families and groups looking for a fresh and contemporary base to call home. 

A Call to the City

Baby Bath

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. 


Naturalezza

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.

Ora d'Oro

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

The terrace, along with the vast windows, helps counter some smaller issues with Bredbeddle. As a whole, it’s a lovely flat – the white walls and brilliant light give it a sense of space and calm. As you step onto the balcony, it’s as if you’re no longer in the city, so intense is the green that greets you on all sides. You are, however, very much in the middle of the city, and there are lots of good places to eat nearby, which is important given that the kitchen is the biggest letdown in the place. It’s very small, and you wouldn’t want to do more than heating up a pot there.


Bredbeddle

Rooftop Terrace

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

Private Dryer

Exercise Equipment

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.

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.

Underfloor Heating

Sleek and elegant, this Milanese apartment is the perfect choice for a couple’s getaway. Sure, the lift only takes you part of the way up to this fifth-floor pad, but the remaining stairs are worth the effort. Step through the door and you’ll be drawn to the private terrace –  a bonus being this high up, just mind your head on those beautiful beams and sloping ceilings as you make a beeline for the sunny spot. Keen on a trip out? Take a two-minute walk to the Santa Maria delle Grazie, where Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" was painted.
