This cute apartment embraces everything retro and sits in the heart of Milan’s buzzing Brera neighbourhood. It’s just a few steps to Sforza Castle and a fifteen minute stroll from the Cathedral. The Brera neighbourhood itself is jam packed with designer shops, fine dining restaurants and local wine bars and trattoria. Retro touches in the apartment give a 70s feel, from the lipstick red sofa and metallic striped kitchen cupboards in the open living area, to the wall of built-in wardrobes in the bedroom (no need to pack light). Parquet flooring throughout keeps things traditional – you’re in the heart of a truly Milanese neighbourhood after all.

About Brera
Brera is to Milan what Montmartre is to Paris, the most bohemian and romantic place in town. Far from the avant-garde scene, this district has conserved its beauty and it remains the most exclusive place to stay, right in the city centre. During the day, visitors parade on the cobbled streets, and gather around art galleries, elegant boutiques, and fine restaurants. Brera has maintained the exquisite flavour of its bohemian...

Host
This home is managed by Rebecca
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Rebecca and her family live abroad now, but they spent many years in Milan, and still stay here when they return to the city. As such, both of their places have the feeling of having actually been lived in, rather than the kind of feeling you find in most holiday rentals.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
