Strolling through Milan is hard to do in a rush. With every turn offering a new scene of decorative architecture, ancient history, or alluring dining spots, you’ll be busy 24/7. But although this penthouse apartment is just a seven-minute walk from the Duomo as well as the Teatro alla Scala, it also ensures you’ll have somewhere to relax – and to see the city from another perspective. After a warm welcome by concierge staff, stepping inside is a breath of fresh air from the streets below. Set in the Quadrilatero della Moda fashion district, upscale shopping might be on your itinerary – something you have in common with your apartment. Furnished with Armani Casa pieces, your penthouse loft is catwalk-ready. White, minimalist interiors create a sense of zen where you can recline on the sofa (or in the Jacuzzi) with a glass of champagne. The sloped walls feature enormous windows, bathing this sophisticated room in Milanese sun. Despite these grand viewpoints, there’s an even better one – strut up the spiral staircase to your private roof terrace. It’s a unique experience standing shoulder to shoulder with the city’s most striking landmarks. Domes, spires, rooftops, and blue skies surround you in 360 degrees, with glass bannisters creating an infinity effect. Fortunately, the alfresco dining table and sun loungers are here to help if you’re feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
