This loft-style apartment in the Porta Monforte neighbourhood of Milan is a great example of how to make the most of a smaller space. A huge window dominating one side of the address floods the interior with natural light and intelligent architectural features — such as the open staircase and the chic railings on the mezzanine level — ensure that this illumination reaches every corner. Not only that but the kitchen is cleverly concealed away for added efficiency, too. We appreciated the masses of inbuilt shelving that's home to decorative items and house plants to create a lived-in feel, and the sleeping area on the mezzanine is welcomingly large, too. The location has a lot going for it as well. It's just far enough away from the city centre for the local area to not feel too touristy, but you can walk into the middle of Milan in about twenty minutes and go shopping at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

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.
