Grand Milan

Grand Milan: Lombardy

For loved-up couples or solo travellers with an eye for style, this elegant apartment offers an enjoyable stay. Sitting in central Milan, just a six-minute walk from its main station, the chic space is an ideal base to explore this cultural and culinary-rich city.

The bedroom is arguably the highlight, with opulent panelled walls where contemporary wall art hangs and a deep buttoned headboard. Tall windows let the Italian light stream in during the day, while the space transforms into a cosy sleeping nook come sundown. The living space is just as beautifully decorated, with sleek kitchen fittings and a plush burnt orange sofa bed. You wouldn't know this modern home is located in an old Milanese building until you step outside.

You're well placed to see Milan's top attractions, many of which (including the world-famous Duomo) are within a half-hour walk. Nearby, the trendy area of Isola is filled with characterful eateries and quirky boutiques, as well as the innovative Bosco Vertical – a sustainable tree-covered pair of residential towers.
