Porte del Passato's little sister, Toc-Toc shares many of the same aesthetic elements as the adjacent apartment...it's just a bit smaller, catering to only four guests. In the enviable Duomo neighbourhood, Toc-Toc is a quick stroll to Milan's most iconic sights. If you need more space, go ahead and book Plum's Porte del Passato, so that you can frolic back and forth through those antique, hand-painted double doors.

Local guide
About Quadrilatero (Fashion District)
The Quadrilatero (Fashion District) is a super-fancy shopping area in the historical centre. The main drag, Via Monte Napoleone, is lined with designer fashion boutiques, antique shops and glam cafes in neoclassical mansions. Nearby, the Palazzo Morando museum displays period costumes, while Renaissance-era decorative arts are on show in the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi. This is an extremely elegant part of town with grand houses and neighbours galore. If you want a taste of the high life Milan-style, then look no further.
