You’re within walking distance of all the city’s sights from this retro period apartment. Take your pick from the Duomo, the Fashion District, Piazza Scala and the Sforza Castle – it’s all more than doable on foot. Back home, while the floor-to-ceiling mirror features might not be to everyone’s taste, they do a fantastic job of flooding the space with light. And for a central Milan bolthole where outdoor space is scarce, the small balcony for two is a perk for morning coffees.

Home truths

  • While this home can accommodate one additional guest on the sofa bed, the maximum occupancy is two guests.

  • You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

  • Though the small balcony is a bonus, it will feel overlooked.

About San Babila

San Babila is a small area in the East part of the historical centre, which rubs up against the Duomo area, and the super-glam fashion area of Quadrilatero. It's probably best known for being home to the pedestrian shopping street of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, which has all the best high-street fashion brands and which runs from Piazza San Babila right up to the Duomo.
