Milan: Elegant and Central Apartment in front of Castello Sforzesco
About this condo rental
Situated in Milan, this attractive condo for $122 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This recently renovated apartment is on second floor of a typical building of the first years of 1900, in the central Piazza Castello, with both bedrooms looking onto the beautiful Castello Sforzesco and Parco Sempione, the largest public park in Milan. The Duomo of Milan is a 10-minute walk along the pedestrian-only Via Dante. The financial district and the fashion district are both at walking distance. In the neighborhood of Piazza Castello you will also find Santa Maria delle Grazie, famous for the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, and the Brera quarter, famous for Pinacoteca, art schools and night life. The area is also very well served by public trasportation: in fact, both the red line and the green line of the subway are at 100 meters, in Piazza Cadorna; this way, most of the city (including the slightly out-of-town new Milan Fair) is within 30 minutes from the apartment. Several buses and trams stations in the area, and the new public bike sharing service complete the offer.

What a great apartment—it was perfect for our needs, and Andrea was a terrific host! The apartment is in a great location and it was well-appointed! We should absolutely stay there again if our travels return us to Milan!

We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights! Very simplistic apartment with a great view of Sforza castle. Bed was fairly comfortable with a medium firm mattress. There is a washing machine, iron and ironing board and a hair dryer which was helpful. Walking distance to the Duomo

Lovely historic property with period charm. Andrea was enthusiastic and friendly. He's very organized. We had everything we needed for a great stay. Presently, there's some maintenance underway at Sforzesco Castle that created a bit of construction noise, but that's obviously temporary!! The location is wonderful.

My daughter and I spent a week in Milan and enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is amazing (direct view of the romantic Castello, close to Cadorna station and on a quiet but centrally located street), very spacious and secure. Andrea is a gracious and responsive host who provided many good suggestions and fully informed us about all aspects of the apartment. Though the bathroom is a bit old fashioned, it is completely functional and we did not find it to be problematic. Temperatures during our stay were in the low 80's F and with fans in the rooms, we were comfortable. We will stay here again next time we visit Milan.

The view of the castle is absolutely amazing to wake up to. The property is in a perfect location as a hub to explore all areas of the city. Good restaurants and shops around and only 4 minutes walk from Cadorna station.

The apartment was exactly as represented in the owner’s description and the previous reviews. It is in a wonderful location for seeing the sights Milan has to offer, within walking distance to everything. Andrea was a perfect host, very available and on top of everything.

The host Andrea was so nice and helpful….and went out of his way to suggest nearby bakeries and grocery stores. The location is perfect, close to Duomo, metro and right across from the Castello! Would recommend.

My family and I recently stayed at this apartment in Milan for a week. The location is truly amazing - you really do see Castello Sforzesco right outside the window! The apartment is very close to all the primary destinations in Milan - art, history, and shopping, depending on what you want to do. There are tons of convenience stores, restaurants, and cafes just around the corner. And yes, the little sandwich stands directly across the street in front of the Castle is excellent! We ended up walking everywhere, but there is very easy access to public transportation, all within about 1 block. With Codorna train station right around the corner, getting to the apartment from the Malpensa airport was very easy. The apartment itself is cozy and has wonderful, old European character. Having 2 rooms with doors was great, giving everyone in the family a chance to rest and recharge. Also, Andrea is a great host - he's very friendly, flexible, and helpful.
I hope we do get to visit Milan in the future, and we'll try to stay at the same place!

The apartment location is amazing with stunning views of the Castel. Andrea is a wonderful host and promptly respond to questions and concerns when needed. Walking distance to all main points of interest including the Duomo and Galeria Victorio Emanuelle. Apartment is old and has all the basic needs. The only inconvinience was that has limited power capacity so we could not use more than one appliance at the time. We would definetely return to Andeas's place.

The location is perfect, the view of the Castello is overlooking from the windows. Area is close to major tourist attractions. Spacious apartment, no AC but comfortable with fans, had central heating for winter. Andrea the host is great. Basic appliances but usable and working. We love this place.

Should be properly described as efficient as opposed to elegant. There is no air conditioning in the property.

Great Location!
This location is perfect! You can’t beat the view! A short walk to the Duomo but right next to the Brera neighborhood where things are a bit less touristy. The key situation was a bit overwhelming at first but we quickly figured it out. I was concerned about the lack of AC- temps were in the high 80’s, but it was comfortable enough. I’d stay here again.

Ideal location
The location was ideal for exploring Milan. Andrea is a lovely host. Even though he doesn’t speak much English we managed to communicate okay. The apartment was as we expected based on pictures and description. WiFi worked great. Good layout and size for our group of 2 adults and one teen. Teen appreciated that she essentially got her own room too with a door that closes (at least when we weren’t using the table for a meal). Really I’d want to give it 4.5 stars but that isn’t an option. Reasons not 5 stars: several quirks it being an older building - electrical, for example. Just getting in to the apartment took some learning (so many keys/steps).

A wonderful stay in Milan
We could not have asked more from Andrea, the property manager. He communicated with us regularly and was there to meet us when we arrived. The apartment is in the perfect, central location, right across from the Castello Sforzesco. The only issue is the bathroom. The shower, bidet and toilet are in one small area, enclosed by a shower curtain. We worked around this odd construction and did not let it detract from our visit.

Hi Andrea thank you for your hospitality. Unfortunately we could not reply to your helpful emails but the Home Away site wouldn't send our replies.
For anyone looking to stay in Milan in walking distance to Berra, Duomo etc and also with metro links to the rest of the city this apartment is perfect. To be fair there are more modern and much more expensive apartments to be found but this is a really charming apartment in a lovely building with a view out onto the Castello Sforzca. Andrea is a very charming and helpful man and it was a pleasure to meet him.
Thanks Matt.

Location, Neighborhood, View, City
For us, THE perfect home-away, for our fortnight in Milano. Unlike Rome, Florence, or Venice, Milano is a vibrant, living city with real people involved in real lives. They are its character. At the same time, it has world-class music, art, and cuisine on offer. This flat is the perfect answer for those wanting to enjoy Milan. Close to all transportation (air, train, tram, bus, bike, and foot), the flat is the perfect HQ with an inspiring view from 2 large rooms (Castello Sforza). The electric kitchen is good for a short stay. The bathroom is adequate. In the depths of winter, the steam radiators kept the warmth of the host's greeting a wonderful temperature on return. We like walking cities, and this flat is close to all. The neighborhood is safe and we felt easy walking back from Teatro alla Scala at 11pm and after. Though the ristorantes we wanted to patronize looked a long distance on the map, they were in fact very close. The galleries, fashion houses, museums, churches, street markets, and civic architecture were also so easy to get to. Milanese are wonderful people; the host was no exception. This flat was PERFECT for us for that fortnight.

Awe-inspiring View.
With a view like this over Castello Sforzesco, what's not to like? This apartment is so incredibly well situated, it's impossible to find better. Steps from some of Milans most important cultural sites, 5 minutes from the busy and active Via Dante, plenty of quality restaurants, cafes, and bars....you're spoiled for choice. I really enjoyed staying here. The kitchen is well kitted out with dishes, pans, glasses, cleaners, soap and all you need, the clotheswasher has a quick wash setting which I used and liked, the building itself is full of character and interest....with high ceilings, a lovely balcony overlooking the castle and street, and Andrea, the host, was helpful and engaging. He pointed out best bets for eating, shopping, pharmacies etc nearby, and he was spot on. He recommended the sandwich kiosk across the road...and it was so good I went twice.
The shower would have to be the only downside. Because the drain is in the centre of the room, after a shower the floor remains wet for a while, so a quick visit to the loo after a shower takes a bit of careful stepping, or a towel on the floor.
Great place.......
