The Cabbage Patch

The Cabbage Patch: Lombardy

Elegant and Milanese at heart, this colourful apartment is perfectly suited for larger groups who, while travelling together, would enjoy the extra privacy of individual bedrooms. Not only that, but each bedroom benefits from vibrant, vegetable-inspired artwork, pops of greens and blues, en-suite bathrooms and two of the rooms even boast four-poster beds. If you've got to work while during your stay, the dedicated office space is a bright and uplifting area to power through emails. Elsewhere, the communal area is a lovely space to come together and enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting off for the day's adventure. Walk to the Corso Buenos Aires shopping district in just twenty minutes, stop off at Via Tadino, an eleven-minute stroll away, for the best restaurants and bars this side of Milan, and be right around the corner from a mainline metro station that will have you discovering the iconic Duomo di Milano in under fifteen minutes.

Home truths:
*The only communal area is the kitchen, which is big enough to hold everyone but there aren't any sofas
*If you're bringing little ones, baby cots, highchairs, children's tableware, books and toys are provided by the host
*While the surrounding area is convenient, it isn't in the historic centre
*There is paid parking at the home
