Grand Milan
Beautiful Lake Como is just 100 metres from this home, while other attractions nearby include the pretty Giardini del Tempio Voltiano with its museum, just over a five-minute walk away. Or head to Como Cathedral and Basilica di San Fedele – both are around five minutes on foot. There are a variety of cafés and restaurants for lunch on your doorstep, or head back to this elegant apartment. Open up the French doors to the Juliet balcony and take a seat on the comfy sofa to rest your feet for a while. We love the living room with its polished wood floors and vases of cream flowers. Whip up an insalata caprese in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table next to the wall adorned with giant cutlery. This home is the perfect retreat for a couple or solo traveller looking for easy access to the lake. *This home has no lift – something to bear in mind if you have limited mobility or heavy suitcases*There's a supermarket a two-minute...More Details

It Must Be Love
Fresh, understated and fuss-free, this home has your comfort at its forefront. Cool neutrals and sleek greys dominate the interior, while the bright red revolver artwork in the living space adds a punch of personality. Plop yourself down on the sofa and nestle among the cushions as dinner cooks away in the pristine kitchen. Or, if you’re not in the mood to don your chef’s hat, your locale has all tastes covered. This is where your home really comes into its own. You’re in the heart of town – surrounded by endless eateries, as well as being 500 metres from the Duomo, two minutes around the corner from the Brutalist Torre Velasca, a concrete ode to post-war Italy, and a three-minute stroll to the Missori metro stop, connecting you to all four corners of Milan. *Allergy sufferers should be aware a dog has previously lived at this home *This apartment is on the third floor with lift access *Guests five and six will sleep on the sofa bed in...More Details

Villa Serenity Retreat
Despite its small size, this apartment packs in luxurious details, such as a marble bathroom, impressive chandelier and a stunning peaked ceiling painted in pale greens and gold. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen, so pick up some Italian produce and enjoy a freshly cooked meal round the wooden dining table, or eat alfresco on the patio. Tall French windows lead out onto pretty lawns and your own private lanai, where you can relax with a book, or pop open a bottle of locally sourced wine in the evening. The home is ideally located near Lake Como, with the lakeside town of Menaggio around a kilometre away. * The apartment is arranged as a studio, with only a sofa bed* While the kitchen is fully equipped, the space on the worktop is limited BathtubKitchen...More Details

White Negroni
The criteria that separate a flat that feels like home from a flat that doesn’t are somewhat nebulous, even with all our research. Whatever the exact formula is, it’s present in Rushmore. It’s large, well furnished with quality pieces, and the things in it just seem to work seamlessly. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it’s in a great location, near the very centre, but just set back enough to avoid the tourists in Piazza del Duomo. It’s also very easy to reach the University. *The road outside is fairly busy, and there's a tram that goes past, so you might get some traffic noise, particularly in the second bedroom*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room*The breakfast table in the kitchen is only really comfortable with four people at a time Air ConditioningBalconyBathtubBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsCot / CribDishwasherDVD PlayerFire ExtinguisherFirst Aid Ki...More Details

Stag on the Mountain
This bijou apartment feels very hi-tech. All the electrics are controlled through a single system, with a few highlights like the sensor-controlled lights and superfast Wifi – all of this in a pretty building from the 1920s. Patches of exposed brickwork inside lend an industrial-chic feel and the wooden ceiling is a nod to the past. Furnishings are understated and neutral-toned, allowing a mellow feel. You've got plenty of space in the bedroom, especially when you open up the door to the little balcony.You're in central Milan here, a twenty-minute walk from the central station (and central market just outside it). It's also a twenty-five-minute walk to the historic sights of the Duomo and Teatro alla Scala. Or, you could hop on the metro at Porta Venezia just outside your door. *At capacity (four guests) two people will be on the sofa bed in the living room*There is a balcony but it is small and unfurnished*Smoking is only allowed on t...More Details
Famous for the namesake lake and funicular railway up to the mountains, there's no shortage of adventures to be had in Como, that's for sure. During the day, hop on the ferry and visit the enchanting villages on the water, or stroll along the lakefront promenade, admiring the views. Come evening, sample delicious Italian cuisine at the countless restaurants, sidewalk cafes and wine bars in town before grabbing a gelato for dessert. It's an exciting spot to base yourself on a visit to the region – and this apartment is in the heart of it all, just a few minutes on foot from Lake Como, the train station and all the must-see sights.When you're not out and about, this pocket-sized apartment is the ideal place to rest your head. Sleek and modern, the rooms are bright and the finish is glossy. We love the rainfall shower in the bathroom as well as the comfortable bed, which is just the ticket after a long day on your feet. We're not going to ...More Details
Love At First Sight
Mansardarte
Bankside has a wonderful view, overlooking the confluence of two of the canals of Navigli. It’s right in the middle of the area – one of Milan’s liveliest – and works well as a base from which to explore. The interior is never going to win awards for its design, but it’s kept very well, and honestly, you’ll be spending most of your time sipping a spritz on the canal anyway. *There is a single sofa bed for a third guest, but as this is a studio we wouldn't recommend more than two people at a time *While there is a lift to the fourth floor, you'll have to climb a flight of stairs to get to it *There is nowhere soft to sit apart from the bed *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected Air ConditioningBalcony / PatioBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingChild FriendlyCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwasherElectricity AdaptorsExtra Pillows and BlanketsFire ExtinguisherFridgeHair DryerHangersIronK...More Details
