Monochrome Glory

Monochrome Glory: Lombardy

Ideally located just a ten-minute walk from Milan’s Porta Nuova business district, this stylish monochrome apartment is an ideal base for sightseers and business travellers alike.

Set within a leafy communal courtyard, the apartment is bright and modern with classical touches. We love the comfy leather Chesterfield sofa in the open-plan living area, as well as the tall windows and high ceilings.

The sleek kitchen-dining area beckons breakfasts over invigorating espressos and locally-bought pastries, or intimate soirées paired with a bottle of Italian wine when you’re not out sampling the local dining scene. Upstairs, the pared-back yet comfortable mezzanine bedroom is ready to drift you into a dreamy night’s sleep, while the marble-clad bathroom’s rainfall shower is sure to get any day off to a relaxing, pampered start.

When it comes to sightseeing, head to Porta Nuova where the towering Bosco Verticale makes a striking impression (a fifteen-minute walk) or enjoy a fashionable afternoon in the city’s famous Quadrilatero della Moda, a twenty-minute stroll away. You’re also a ten-minute walk from the Indro Montanelli Garden, while the beautiful Duomo di Milano is just seven minutes away by Metro or thirty minutes on foot from your door.
