No one likes making decisions, and with so many beautiful homes in Milan, it can be hard to know where to start. We feel your pain. That's why we've asked our Home Critics (who have visited every single place) to weigh in with their favourite homes in the city.
'Milan sometimes gets overshadowed by more obvious tourist magnets, like Venice or Rome, but its unique combination of design and business means that it has some of the most innovative and stylish homes in the world.

A pearl by name and nature, we could spend all day pottering around that kitchen.

While the floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound terrace are the headlines, we’re obsessed with the rainfall shower.
The moment you've all been waiting for. In terms of amenities, Lift-Off has it all, but more importantly, it has an infectious sense of fun.
