Where It Rains

Where It Rains: Lombardy

Overcrowding isn’t a word that comes to mind with this central Milan apartment. It’s been put together well, in a simple, understated manner that fits its purpose to a tee. From the small but perfectly formed kitchen to the stylish dining area and secluded bedroom, the spaces are tied together by the beautiful parquet flooring that runs throughout. With so much right on your doorstep, it’s unlikely to be the sort of home where you’ll lounge around for days. Rather it’s a perfectly positioned base from which to explore the city. So step out onto the stone street and set about exploring the city. Gaze upon the fourth-century mosaics in the Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore, marvel at the sheer scale of the Duomo di Milano and shop 'til you drop in the upscale boutiques of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – all under a ten-minute walk away.
