Captain Flint looks over the internal courtyard of a casa di ringhiera, one of the classic yellow apartment buildings that proliferated in Milan around the turn of the twentieth century. The yellow walls that greet you as you peer off the balcony evoke something fundamentally Milanese, as do the long straight canals outside. Captain Flint isn’t very big, and while there’s technically space for four guests, we reckon any more than three would be a squeeze, but the history attached makes up for its diminutive stature.

Home truths

    There is a pull-out single bed, but it leaves very little space in the room and isn't very convenient

About Navigli

Centred around Milan's twin canals, this neighbourhood exudes historic charm. Yellow-toned buildings are fringed with lush greenery, while arched entranceways lead to beautiful cobbled courtyards a world away from industrial Milan. There's a creative spirit to Navigli – discover back streets overflowing with small galleries and artisan-lead boutiques. Restaurants ranging from traditional trattorias to waterside cafes are dotted along the canals. Nightlife is big here, too, so the area does...
