Rare Hearts

Rare Hearts: Lombardy

Just outside the city centre, in the heart of Milan’s business district, you’ll find this charming apartment. It’s a leisurely half-hour stroll to Castello Sforzesco, in the centre of Milan, or you can hop on a train or metro a two-minute walk from your front door. There’s plenty to explore in your neighbourhood, from ancient churches to swanky eateries and bijou coffee shops.

This spot is a rooftop penthouse, with a sprawling terrace overlooking the rooftops of Milan to the shining skyscrapers beyond. This is the perfect spot for dinner on sultry summer evenings, or just a sundowner as the sky tinges pink and orange. Inside, there’s a stylish, mid-century feel to the pristine white living room and the open plan of the living area lends itself to social evenings. Throw open the Italian windows to the Juliet balcony and watch the city come to life before you – the view is great up here on the eighth floor.
