This apartment puts you in the heart of Milan’s vibrant design district, where cutting-edge showrooms and stylish cafés set the scene. Inside, it’s minimal chic with a spacious kitchen-dining area and two living spaces – one of which can be transformed into a second bedroom with a sofa bed. Located in the basement, natural light is limited, but we think that’s a fair trade for such a central spot. You’ll be just steps from the Duomo, and the nearby metro will whisk you around the city in no time.

Local guide


About Porta Monforte

If you want to stay central in Milan but are seeking a little more peace and quiet, Porta Monforte is a great option. Its tree-lined boulevards are just a ten-minute walk from the Duomo and it’s on a metro line so you can easily see all of the city’s sights – without staying amid the crowds. There are bars and restaurants, as well as small shops to discover, and it’s close to Navigli. Architecture buffs can admire the Art Nouveau Casa Campanini and Chiesa di Santa Maria della Passione, built in the late Renaissance period.
