The abundance of natural light is the first thing that strikes you about Shearwater. It’s wonderfully bright, and this allows the other parts of the design, especially the colours, to shine. Porta Romana is just outside, and while it’s a bit of a trek to the very centre on foot, there’s plenty to do in the immediate surrounds, and the metro station is just around the corner. When we visited, though, there was no air conditioning. Milan can get very hot during the summer, so it’s very important you take this into account before booking.
