Step into a world of jungle bliss at this tropical home in Milan’s hip Isola neighbourhood. Housed in a former mattress factory dating back to the 1930s, there are still traces of this home’s quirky past hidden amongst its plants’ tangle of fronds, including exposed brick walls, cast iron radiators, cement floors and beautiful beamed ceilings. The living room is decked out in a carousel of ornaments, with giant areca palms framing a shelved feature wall and a grand ornamental fireplace. The dining room is a joy to gather in with its leafy wallpaper and 1950s pink mirror table, while the kitchen looks like a vintage bakery counter with its island, breakfast bar and wicker chairs. Upstairs, the red-curtained bedroom is a sumptuous affair with a mind-boggling floating bed and a freestanding tub that invites long soaks after a day of sightseeing. Speaking of things to do, go out and explore the local area – Isola is packed full of cool cafes, trendy shops and family-run trattorias, while the Duomo is walkable in forty-five minutes. Even with Milan’s stunning sights within easy reach, with your own private oasis to escape into, we don’t see any reason to ever leave.

Host
This home is managed by Elisa
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Elisa is an interior designer, and her partner is a carpenter.
