The Space:
Welcome to your elegant Milanese home, a haven of comfort and style located on the ground floor of a historic and stately building. This apartment will offer you an authentic experience in a highly charming setting, where the historic elegance of the building perfectly blends with a recent and meticulous interior renovation, designed to offer you maximum well-being during your stay.
Upon crossing the threshold, you will be greeted by an intimate, well-cared-for, and incredibly quiet atmosphere. The convivial heart of the house is the spacious living room: although it is a windowless space, it has been masterfully enhanced with a warm, modern, and enveloping lighting system that makes it the perfect place to relax. Here you will find a comfortable lounge area enriched by a refined designer sofa and an elegant dining area to share your meals in total serenity, creating a truly protected and cozy "nest" after intense days in the city.
The sleeping area is the real bright jewel of the house. The apartment features two splendid bedrooms, both flooded with natural light thanks to the large windows overlooking the tranquility of the residential context. These finely furnished and silent rooms are designed to guarantee impeccable rest: the beds, equipped with high-quality ergonomic mattresses, ensure rejuvenating sleep. In total, the house offers 4 very comfortable beds, guaranteeing privacy and adequate space for families or groups of friends.
Every detail of the renovation has been studied to combine aesthetics and functionality. The kitchen is practical and fully equipped with latest-generation appliances, ready to accommodate your every need. The contemporary-style bathroom is a small corner of relaxation, featuring a large walk-in shower and premium finishes. To complete the comforts, you will find air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and heating for a perfect climate all year round, plus the priceless convenience of ground-floor access, perfect for moving easily with luggage without having to face any stairs.
The Neighborhood:
Living in this home means immersing yourself in one of Milan's most fascinating and "secret" neighborhoods: the Maggiolina, also known as the "Villaggio dei Giornalisti" (Journalists' Village). This is a top-tier residential area, famous for its tranquility, its tree-lined streets, and its eclectic and unique architecture. The aristocratic building housing the apartment perfectly reflects this context of prestige and calm, offering a silent refuge just minutes from the dynamism of the center.
A few steps from the entrance, you can admire the famous "Igloo Houses" and the "Mushroom Houses", whimsical post-war architectural experiments that make walking these streets a unique experience. The neighborhood is rich in parks and green zones, ideal for a morning run or a bit of relaxation, such as Parco Nicolò Savarino, perfect for a regenerating walk. Despite its residential and quiet vocation, the area is remarkably well-served by neighborhood shops, gourmet supermarkets, pharmacies, and elegant boutiques, all reachable on foot.
Maggiolina is very close to the Isola District, one of Milan's trendiest neighborhoods. Just a 15-minute walk or 5 minutes by subway, you will find yourself immersed in a vibrant area, famous for its starred restaurants, bohemian bistros, local markets, and venues with live music (like the celebrated Blue Note). Isola is the border with modern Porta Nuova, where you can admire the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) and stroll under the skyscrapers of piazza Gae Aulenti. The proximity to areas of great interest like Bicocca (with its HangarBicocca, a major contemporary art center) makes the neighborhood a perfect starting point to discover Milan's diverse souls. Here you will find the true essence of "Milanese living": class, tranquility, and immediate access to the best the city has to offer.
Getting Around:
The location of this home is simply strategic for anyone wishing to explore Milan with ease, whether for tourism or business. The main convenience is represented by its proximity to the metropolitana (subway), the backbone of Milanese public transport. Just a 5-minute walk away, you will find the MM5 Istria stop (Purple line). This line is fundamental: in just a few stops, it will take you directly into the heart of Porta Nuova and Gae Aulenti, the city's most iconic and modern area, and allows you to quickly connect with other subway lines (MM2 Green at Garibaldi, MM3 Yellow at Zara).
If you prefer to move on the surface to admire the city, the options are excellent. Just steps from the home pass the tram lines 4 and 7. Tram 4 is perfect for directly reaching the Sforza Castle and the historical center, crossing fascinating neighborhoods. Tram 7, on the other hand, is very useful for moves across town and reaching the Bicocca university area. Additionally, the tram 3 stop is close, offering a convenient connection for the Lorenteggio area and beyond. Various bus lines complete the offer, making every point of the city easily accessible.
The home is also extremely convenient for those arriving or departing by train. Stazione Centrale (Central Station), the main hub for High-Speed trains and airport connections (Malpensa Express, Orio Shuttle), is reachable in just 10 minutes by taxi or with a short bus/subway ride. For those traveling by car, the area is well-connected to main road arteries, and despite being in a quiet context, finding parking nearby is not difficult, or using paid garages just a few steps away. Finally, the area is exceptionally well-served by bike-sharing and car-sharing services, perfect for quick and sustainable trips.
Other Things to Note:
Early or late check-in, late check-out, and additional sets of bed linen or towels may be subject to a small extra fee, payable upon arrival.
Pets, including dogs, are not allowed.
In compliance with Italian law, all guests must complete a digital registration with a valid ID before check-in.
