Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A sensorial stay with homespun design, an eclectic collection of antiques and knockout views across Milan, this apartment is certainly one to remember. It’s only right to begin with the terrace – your own private jungle with dining set for sun-soaked breakfasts and glasses of wine in the early evening as the basilicas glow in the hopelessly romantic dusk. Before you get to know your surroundings, peruse the shelves of curiosities or get comfortable on the sofa and flick through a hardback book pulled from your host’s collection. The Duomo, Royal Palace and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are on your doorstep and the apartment is a minute from the Missori metro stop should you want to explore further afield. When dinner time rolls around, we recommend taking the fifteen-minute stroll to the romantic Brera neighbourhood for stylish restaurants and old-school osterie.

Missori is a beautiful neighbourhood in the heart of the historical centre, just South of the Duomo. A lot of businesses are located here, but this is no ordinary corporate area - think gorgeous, historic buildings and super chic workers. Missori is extremely well-located for either a tourist or business trip - it's just a short walk to the picturesque streets of Cinque Vie as well as the Duomo. Lots...
